Free Mandela!

Nelson Mandela's daughter has died. I don't know anything about her - to be honest, I'm embarrassed at how little I know about Mandela himself. What I DO know is that the tower block the Trotters from Only Fools and Horses is named "Nelson Mandela House", but it's never explained what the connection is. Even further, the episode Class of '62 tells us Del Boy, Trigger, Boycie and Denzil went to Martin Luther King Comprehensive School as little kids. Were there really schools in England named after King, presumably after his tragic assassination?

Very interesting.

Also, Class of '62 is one of my favorite episodes! :)
