Dates (25th December 1988) | Only Fools & Horses Tribute Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Only Fools & Horses Tribute Wiki Share Del meets Raquel for the first time via a dating agency. Dates was the Christmas 1988 special of Only Fools And Horses. This episode saw the start of a new era for the Trotter family as Del Boy met Raquel through a dating agency, and she is an actress until Del get a surpise at his Uncle Albert 's birthday do when he books a stripper for his birthday party. This episode saw Del Boy meet a more mature woman and also saw Rodney go on a date with Nervous Nerys , and a cruise in Del's van, which he ends up doing very quickly. Contents Edit Derek "Del Boy" Trotter and Rodney Trotter have done very well in trade lately, having made £2000 in the past month alone, selling mens electric razors. Albert Trotter tells a story about how he was in the Navy in 1941 and sunk the ship he went out to rescue, and was due to be court martialled but the Japanese invaded and Albert never heard a word about it.

He also has an upcoming birthday on the 19th November, and seems to be dropping hints. A day or so later in The Nags Head , Rodney is persuaded by his friends to ask Nervous Nerys Sansom out for a date, and fool him into thinking she likes hard men. Boycie talks about his Masonic Lodge and Trigger has a date with a woman, of which was organised by Technomatch Dating Agency . Del asks Mike Fisher if he can have the pub for the night for Albert's birthday. Mike says as long as Albert does not dance or sing, tells no rude jokes and does not drink too much and just sits down and enjoys himself then Del can have the pub. Del seeks an opportunity and signs up to the dating agency, and is interviewed by the agent. Del says he wants a "bit of a sort with everything in the right place and who knows the difference between a Liebfraumilch and a can of Tizer, and who likes a steak meal". The agent runs a few names through his computer. He sees a 30 year old woman who is an actress. Del asks if she is famous and the agent say no.

He then suggests if Del is to meet this lady that he meets her under the clock at Waterloo Station . He also insists that both parties are honest with each other. Del agrees to it and pays £25 membership fee. He then says his surname is Duval with no "e" on the end when asked if he has an e on the end of his surname. A few days later, Del is dressed up ready for his blind date. Albert asks if he is going out and Del says "no I'm going to bleed the brakes on the van" in sarcasm. Albert asks if it is someones birthday party or something and Del says no he has a date. Albert keeps dropping hints about how he had great birthday parties as a kid but now no one bothers. Del says the date is an actress called Raquel Turner and Albert says he has never heard of her. He asks more questions, but Del, reluctant to say he joined a dating agency, fobs Albert off. Rodney is dressed as a punk to go out with Nerys. Del mocks him saying the James Dean look means before the crash. Del says he has a date and it is with an actress.

Rodney asks who and Del says Raquel Turner, Rodney says "Not The Raquel Turner" and when Del asks if he has heard of her Rodney says "No". Rodney says Albert took a phone call from some agent the other day. Del says a showbusiness agent, he does not want Albert ot Rodney to know he joined a dating agency, and make them think he cannot pull women like he used to. Del gets his huge bunch of flowers out of the kitchen. He finds a sock in the flowers and throws it on the carpet. Del then leaves the flat, ready to go on his date. At Waterloo Station , Del waits nervously for his date. A policeman wonders why Del has such a huge bunch of flowers. Del sees a woman with her back turned to him dressed in red standing a few metres away. Del asks if she is an actress and she says she has played a few demanding roles in her time. He realises she is not the blind date, but a prostitute. She mocks him and Del threatens to shove the flowers right up her...well you know what. A train horn goes off just as Del is about to say that word. She says "You realise that will be extra" then walks off.

Rodney picks Nerys up and goes for a cruise. He is smoking a cigarette in an attempt to look hard. Some of his punk friends see him and cheer at him. Rodney gives them the middle finger, trying to look hard in front of Nerys. Rodney takes her for a cruise towards the dual carriageway. Back at Waterloo Station, Del has been waiting for ages and his date has not turned up, she is late. Del puts the flowers on the ground and then a young woman approaches him nervously. She asks if he is Derek and he realises she is his date. She is Raquel. He gives her some flowers and they walk off towards the taxi rank to go to The Hilton Hotel, Park Lane for lunch. Rodney is driving down the dual carriageway and saying how this area is his jungle and no one scares him, not even those punks. But he soon realises he is being followed by them and starts speeding up, nervous. Nerys asks why Rodney is speeding up, saying she thought they were just going to cruise and he says he likes to cruise quickly. At The Hilton Hotel, Del and Raquel talk, he says he is now a millionaire and owns a Ferrari.

She says she used to be married and she has never had any proper acting roles outside theatre apart from a minor role in Doctor Who as a lizard person. Del has bribed Charles the waiter into saying that he has a call from his New York office to make it look like he is a rich businessman. But at the end of the lunch when Del is handed the huge bill, he almost chokes but has to hide his shock. He says Rodney handles the business well when he is not there. Meanwhile Rodney is being chased by the punks through the streets of Peckham. He runs a red light and almost crashes into an oncoming car. The car quickly brakes and a police car crashes into the back of it. Rodney manages to escape the punks but the police see the yellow 3 wheel van. They say they will get him as there cannot be too many such vehicle owners in the area. The young copper tells the Old Man off for braking suddenly. Rodney quickly parks outside Nerys' house but she is a total nervous wreck. She is sobbing.

A day or so later, Del is at Raquel's flat and says she can join a friend's Masonic Lodge and can bribe a TV director into getting Raquel into a TV show, so she can finally make the big time. Del phones Boycie but Boycie laughs, saying Del would never get into his Lodge. Del blackmails Boycie into putting in a word for Del and he wont say about the woman Boycie saw in Sheffield. Del then speaks to Marlene on the phone and says that Albert wants an anglers knife made from Sheffield Steel. Marlene says "Sheffield" and Boycie quickly says "Gimme That Phone!!" Del then says goodbye to Boycie and hangs up. A few days later it is Albert's birthday. He is singing and dancing and telling rude jokes. Mike is not pleased. Del then talks to Rodney about Raquel and how she is an actress and has talent and he has asked to join the Masonic Lodge. Boycie says that Del's application was refused, he was black balled. Del is unhappy but Rodney says Raquel's talent will win through.

Two officers arrive and question Albert, saying that they are arresting him for causing the sinking of a ship in 1941 as the records have just been found at the Naval bases in Portsmouth. The woman then says to wish him a very happy birthday, and it is not a officer but a stripper. Del is laughing, saying that is his birthday surprise. But the stripper suddenly stops when she sees Del, and Del sees her, it is indeed Raquel. She is a stripper. Del runs out of the pub, upset and embarrassed. Rodney goes after him. Del walks up to his van and kicks it before damaging the wing mirror in frustration at being lied to about what Raquel did for a living. Del gets into the van but Raquel comes out telling Del to wait. She then mirrors his anger at her by saying she has just found out his surname is Trotter not Duval, and he is a market trader, not a millionaire. Raquel then sarcastically indicated the 3 wheel van and says "I suppose this is the Ferrari". Del says OK he told the odd joke but does not go round flashing his boobs at blokes. Raquel says she was a stripper at weekends to pay for her drama classes.

Raquel asks if Del wants to see her again. Del says yes but he will pay at the door like all the other punters. Raquel quietly walks back into the pub. Rodney says there was no need to say that to her. Del says he wish he hadn't, like most things in his life, too bloody late. Del gets into the van and starts the engine but the exhaust blows as does the engine. Del gets out and calmly says "I fancied a walk anyway". A few days later at Sid's Cafe , Del is wallowing in self pity over Raquel. Sid asks if the rumours are true about him going caso with some stripper. Del denies this, saying he was just mucking around with her. Rodney comes in and asks Del if he is coming down The Coach And Horses tonight, they have a strip...erm comedian, he adds. Rodney asks what Del is doing about Raquel and Del says "I never knew anyone called Raquel". Raquel then comes in. Rodney says she can finish his tea and then leaves.

As he leaves, he is confronted by Mrs Sansom , Nerys' mother, she wants to know why Rodney upset her the other day, Rodney says it was some yobs. Raquel sits at Del's table. Del is very dismissive to her. She says she is going on a tour of the Middle East, she leaves tomorrow. A tour of Addis Abbaba. Del says she could get kidnapped and end up in a harlem. Raquel says that if Del wants to see her again, even as just friends, he can come round her flat at noon and she wont go on the tour, if not she will understand and go. She then leaves. Del is almost in tears. A day later at The Nags Head, Rodney says Albert has threatened to get even with Del about organising the strippers for his birthday. Mike jokes that for the past week Del has been ruminating and fretting over whether to pay the bill for the strippogram agency. Rodney says Mike is out of order. Del then enters and Mike has to contain his laughter by putting a towel in his mouth. It is about 11:30.

Del says he was thinking about her last night, she has had nothing but bad luck, her husband was a roughun. (Little did Del know back then that husband was Roy Slater , ex copper and Del's former schoolmate and much hated man). Del says he will have a few drinks then go round to her flat. Rodney praises Del for it. Del and Rodney toast. It is nearing noon and Raquel looks out of her flat window for Del. At The pub, Del says he will go and see Raquel now but 2 police officers come in, one female, one male, asking if he is Derek Trotter. Del says yes he is. The cops are the same cops who chased Rodney through the streets of Peckham the other day. The cops say a yellow 3 wheel van shot the red lights the other day almost causing a severe crash and they are questioning owners of all such vehicles. Del says to look no further officers as it was him, so fair cop, he done it, then jokingly holds his hands out before laughing, and poking Uncle Albert, thinking they are strippers and Albert has got his own back for Del organising the strippers at Albert's birthday.

The cops say that either Del is not taking this seriously or he does not realise the full implications of his last statement. Del says he is pushed for time she she should hurry up and get them off. Del rips open her uniform, exposing her bra. All the punters laugh, and even the male copper tries to contain his laughter. Del says to Albert he should have come up with something more original and Albert says it is nothing to do with him and Del keeps laughing until he sees the police car in the car park. Heartbroken, Raquel leaves for the Middle East just as Del Boy is taken into custody. He knows it is past noon now, and she is on her way to the airport. He asks the police officers if he can make a phonecall. The copper says he can make one. Del asks "You dont have the code for Addis Abbaba do you?". Cast "Only Fools and Horses...."

Yes Del Boy Trotter | Only Fools and Horses Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Only Fools and Horses Wiki July 12, 1945 (age 70) Occupation CEO of Trotters Independent Traders Family Derek Edward Trotter, more commonly known as "Del Boy", is the main character in the popular BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses , as well as the deuteragonist in it's prequel Rock & Chips . Contents [ show ] Personality Del is a lively character, most noted for his happy-go-lucky, confident persona. Whilst not always being successful, his general confidence and often forcefulness often convinces people to believe in him. Starting with the sixth season, Del Boy became a stereotypical yuppy of the late 1980s, pretending to be a lot more financially successful than he really is, which fit in well with him always trying to associate with the higher classes of society but clearly being rooted as working class. Del also has a rather sensitive side to his personality, particularly for his family.

He is not always so keen to express his love his family and loved ones, but in numerous episodes this side is bought out, such as in " Diamonds Are For Heather ", Strained Relations ", " Dates " and " Time On Our Hands ". Personal life Family Del's mother Joan died in 1964 after an apparently long string of illnesses. Two months afterwards, his lazy father Reg left, taking most of their money and even Del's birthday cake, leaving a teenage Derek as the sole breadwinner of the abandoned Trotter family. Del's grandfather was not up to taking the lead, his best efforts having failed, so Del was left to look after him and Rodney, his younger brother, who was born fifteen years after him in 1960. Del lives with his brother Rodney, his "significant other" Raquel, and their son Damien on the 13th floor of the fictional Nelson Mandela House in Peckham, London. Relationship with other characters Del has had many girlfriends over the course of the series and his friends include Trigger , Denzil , Boycie , Marlene and Mike . His greatest enemy is Roy Slater . Derek is optimistic but although not intellectual he is quick witted, and frequently gets Rodney into trouble.

In " Wanted ", when a mentally unstable woman accuses Rodney of attacking her, Del makes a joke of it and says that the police have named Rodney "The Peckham Pouncer". Del is afraid of doctors and dentists. His favourite song is " Old Shep ", as heard in " Diamonds Are For Heather ". He believes he is fluent in French when in fact is hopeless at it (he gets bonjour and au revoir mixed up). Del can't swim (he has a certificate, but it doesn't belong to him) as revealed in " Miami Twice ", or fly a hang glider very well as seen in " Tea for Three ". Despite being not very bright, a prime example of this is the lettering on his van which reads the Trotters Independent Traders Co but the van should read Trotter's Independent Traders Co., with the apostrophe and the full stop after a shortened word. Though Del does have a heart of gold at times, such as when he tried to help Rodney get over his wife Cassandra's miscarriage, which resulted in the loss of their first attempt to have a baby.

He never hesitates to remind people about how he practically brought Rodney up on his own after their mother died and their father left, often using this fact against Rodney to gain the moral high ground whenever the two of them have an argument about anything. Career Del works as a market trader, running his own company — Trotters Independent Traders (T.I.T.Co) - either from out of a suitcase or out of the back of his bright yellow Reliant Regal . With a never-ending supply of get-rich-quick schemes and an inner belief in his ability to sell anything to anyone, Del embroils 'the firm' (as he calls the family business) in all sorts of improbable situations. It is this unwavering confidence that led to his oft-proclaimed but rarely realised ambition "This time next year, we'll be millionaires!" Del's business acumen is probably best described by Rodney in the episode " Mother Nature's Son ". During a time when Del is feeling depressed about his financial situation, Rodney states that "The old Derek Trotter could smell a fiver in a force 9 gale.

They used to say that if Del Boy fell into a Viper's Pit, he'd come up wearing snake skin shoes." Although he maintains a tough exterior, family means a lot to Del. He still mourns the death of his mother and runs T.I.T.Co with his younger brother, Rodney. Del takes great pride in having raised Rodney after their mother's premature death and has never forgiven his father for running away when Rodney was just an infant. Despite their often minimal income, Del insists on caring for his elderly Grandad . When Grandad died, his role in the family trio is taken up by his younger brother Albert , who received the same level of respect (and light-hearted abuse). Del's phrases John Sullivan's inspiration for Del's daft foreign phrases comes from source bottle to clothes's label, says John. "Del would read things, think that they were impressive and then he'd start to use them, very inappropriately." Other words, like cushty - which means great or smashing - is an old London saying which comes from Britain's colonial days when posting to Custibar in India was considered to be easy.

Lovely jubbly comes from an ice lolly called Jubbly, popular in the 1950s, which was advertised with the slogan "Lovely Jubbly". Here are some of the best of the rest, and what Del means when he uses them: Fabrique Belgique: I agree. Plume de ma tente: to be used when he's exasperated, used instead of Gordon Bennett. Bonjour: Used to mean goodbye. Au revoir: used to mean hello. Twonk, Dipstick, Plonker, Pranny, Div and wally: All mean idiot. Allemagne dix points: Such is life. Noofter or Woofter: A gay man. Pucker (pukka): Perfect. Grand: £1000, Monkey: £500, Century: £100, Pony: £25, Score: £20,Dounce in bunce: £2000 in cash. Confusion over age Del's year of birth is contradicted in several episodes.

In " Sleepless in Peckham " (2003), Rodney shows Cassandra a photo of the 1960 Jolly Boys' Outing, and says Del was aged 15, making his year of birth around 1945 (although this is acting on information given to him by Sid who was only estimating Del's age). In " Go West Young Man " (series 1, 1981), Del claims to be 35, giving him a birth date of 1946. In " A Losing Streak " (Series 2, 1982) and " Thicker than Water " (Series 3, 1983), Del claims their father left in 1965 on his 16th birthday, making his birth date 1949, which would have made Del 32 around the time of series 1.

In " Tea for Three " (Series 5, 1986), Rodney tells Trigger's niece Lisa that Del's 46th birthday is coming up, making Del's year of birth 1940 (in real life David Jason's year of birth), however the context in which the scene was acted gave the impression Rodney was lying to give the impression Del was older than he actually was. The episode " The Class of '62 " (Series 7, 1991) sees Del and friends attending a class reunion, suggesting a birth year of 1946 or 1947. The prequel drama Rock & Chips set in 1960 shows Del at 15 years of age, this is confirmed in the dialogue between the P.E. teacher and Del's gang. The teacher complains about the boys having to stay on another year due to a change in the law, this is in reference to the change in school leaving age of 1960 when it was raised to 16.

This, however, is at odds with " Big Brother " (Series 1, 1981) in which Del states to Rodney that there is thirteen years age difference between the two. If this had been the case, then Del should have been 12 or 13 in Rock & Chips, suggesting a birth year of 1947 or 1948, as opposed to 15. A further dispute is that Boycie, Trigger, Denzil, Roy Slater, Jumbo Mills , and Albie Littlewood are all the same age as Del at the time Rock & Chips was set, making their birth years 1945 instead of 1948. On several occasions Del refers to them as his old classmates at the old Dockside Secondary Modern when clearly he would have been 2 or 3 years above them in school [if he was born in 1945]; and Slater's mother Ruby even informs Albert in the episode " To Hull and Back " that Del and Roy sat next to each other in class David Jason In the original Only Fools and Horses series(1981-2003), Del was played by David Jason in all episodes.

At the time of his casting, Jason was best known for his role as Granville in Roy Clarke's popular sitcom Open All Hours, opposite Ronnie Barker. Ray Butt was the only crew member sold on Jason being Del, as he saw Jason playing Granville in a repeat of Open All Hours. Jim Broadbent and Enn Reitel had both turned down the part. Jason was cast after a read through with Lennard Pearce and Nicholas Lyndhurst. Jason retired as Del aged 63 Dates | Hooky Street - the Fools and Horses Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Hooky Street - the Fools and Horses Wiki Share Ad blocker interference detected!

Contents Edit The Trotters have been earning a lot of money recently thanks to selling, and Albert's 68th birthday is coming up, though Del Boy and Rodney pretend to have forgotten.

Meanwhile, after being impressed by a girl Trigger had met through a local dating agency, Del himself decides to sign up for it. Calling himself Derek Duvall, managing director of a successful import and export business, he meets an aspiring actress named Raquel Turner. The two get on well and agree to meet again. Del asks Raquel to join him at Albert's upcoming birthday party, but she declines, citing an acting class she has to attend. Meanwhile, Rodney also arranges a date, with Nag's Head barmaid, Nervous Nerys, but whilst driving they are pursued by a gang of punks, which leads to a high-speed chase. They race past two police officers at temporary traffic signals. The police officers vow to apprehend the driver of the "yellow three-wheeled van". For the entertainment at Albert's party, it emerges that Del has hired a stripper, who turns out to be Raquel. The two recognise each other, and, humiliated, Del storms out of the pub and tells Raquel he doesn't want to see her again before changing his mind again.

Raquel tells him that she plans to go and work in the Middle East, and that if he is still interested in her, he should visit her before the flight leaves. Del plans to go, but is the first person to be asked by the two police officers if his name is Trotter (he had been pointed out by someone else). Mistaking the female police officer to be a stripper, Del rips her shirt off, and is arrested. Heartbroken, Raquel leaves for the Middle East just as Del Boy is taken into custody.

Fatal Extraction Episode Review Brief: While Peckham is in the midst of rioting, Del Boy is having trouble with his teeth and with Raquel. She objects to him spending all night at the 1.11 Club. It is no surprise when she leaves him but Del goes straight back into dating. Then he changes his mind he wants to forget about it, but will the scorned woman let him? Transmitted: 25.12.1993 Duration: 85 minutes Viewing Figures: 19.6 million Raquel is worried that Santa will be too busy down the 121 Club getting drunk, to provide Damien with any presents.

Rodney raises the problem with Del, who explains he is brokering a deal to get hold of some Russian ex-military Camcorders to make ends meet over Christmas. Rodney’s marriage is going so well that they have decided to try to have a baby. So much so he’s getting phone calls from Cassie at work, telling him to come home because she’s the right temperature. Raquel leaves Del, staying at Rodney and Cassandra’s place. Del does what any man would: Organises a date with Beverly, his dentist’s receptionist. He cancels it as soon as he comes to his senses. A changed man, he invites Raquel back. After drunkenly starting a riot on the estate he sells the Russian gear to both the cops and the robbers. All seems calm, but Beverly seems to be stalking Del. Episode Observations In Fatal Extraction, In response to the comment made by Michael Kilburn above, regarding Rodney holding Damien the wrong way around. This scene never actually took place in this episode, but in “Mother Nature’s Son” previously. In Fatal Extraction, Whilst the riots are happening there is a shot of the helicopter and you can see that it is raining (Look at the search light).

The very next scene is them rioting, but it is not raining. In Fatal Extraction, how could Albert hear Del singing in the precinct, if as Rodney says ‘He slept through two world wars’. In Fatal Extraction, The building they use for the casino is the same building they used in ‘ Yuppy Love ’ for the wine bar. It is known as the old granary in Welsh Back, Bristol. In Fatal Extraction, watch the scene where Rodney and Cassandra are in bed, just before Damien enters the room. Cassandra still has her themometer in her hand when she leans to cuddle Rodney. She must drop the themometer down the back of the bed, as when her hands are next in view, with NO scene change, she no longer has the themometer. In Fatal Extraction, when Del goes into the kitchen to find Alberts boiling pants the steam is falling and not rising, clearly a case of dry ice and not steam! In Fatal Extraction, Raquel gives del boy a really good answer phone and in three years in heroes and villians it’s majorly messed up.

In Fatal Extraction, When Del and Rodney are in the casino, Del says he likes gambling with his mates, Rodney says “and who are your mates?” he runs a few off and when he comes to Boycie he says “oh Boycie, the man that thinks anyone who has a penny less than him is a peasant”. When he says Peasant he stutters. In Fatal Extraction, When Del steps into the beans that Albert has dropped, he puts his whole foot in. But afterwards, when Albert gives him the ‘Relate’ form he goes to wipe his foot with it. Del’s foot is clearly only half covered in beans!. In Fatal Extraction, Albert In the market, when Del has Rodney modeling the ski wear, Rodney’s wearing a hat. The logo’s on the left when Trigger says hello but when they cut back to Del and Rodney, the logo’s on the right!. In Fatal Extraction, Albert says im not going to the window because a brick might come through. Rodney says we’re on the 12th floor. But in ‘Roal Flush’ at the end, near the lift it says 13Th floor. Funny how the flat moves from level to level!.

In Fatal Extraction, during Rodney’s dream sequence at the start, look how Rodney is holding Damien when the camera is behing him. Then when it cuts to the mirror shot, his empty arms are actually held out to the other side to which he was holding Damien. The fact that it’s a mirror shot is a little confusing, but the director definitely gets it wrong on this occasion. In Fatal Extraction, denzil is telling Del, Mike, Boycie and Trigger how he has been split up from his wife for 7 years, yet in the episode Yuppy Love Denzil is still together with his wife(Corrine). Between these 2 episodes the gap is less then 7 years,meaning the script writers have got the facts wrong. In Fatal Extraction, Mental Mickey who was in the episode it’s only rock and roll, were Rodders and the boys set up a band is also in Fatal Extraction involved in the Peckham riots. I noticed him in it 3 times just after Del finishes singing. In Fatal Extraction, (1993) Rodney states he is 31 yrs old, yet in the (1981) episode “ big brother ”, 12 years earlier he says he’s 23!?

In Fatal Extraction, On the same theme as the great Robbie Williams debate, look at the barmaid serving in the Nag’s Head during the scene in which Del & Boycie are discussing Bronco and the psychiatric hospital (about 1 hour 3 mins into the episode). It’s the blonde one from Steps! (I think her name is Faye) In Fatal Extraction, When Rodney is told by Del that he will have to deliver the high chair to Beverly (about 1 hour 21 mins into the episode), Del states that the reason he cannot do it himself is because he has “a wife and kid”. A bit of a faux-pas on his part, as him and Raquel have never got married (or so we assume…) In Fatal Extraction, when Del sounds his horn in the capri ghia, he pushes the centre of the steering wheel. hoever, capri horns are sounded by pushing one of the stalks! In Fatal Extraction, when Del is trying to remember who his old bird was (it turns out to be Marlene) he says that he took her home to see his mum and dad.

In A Losing Streak Del says that his dad left on his 16th birthday, meaning he must have been going out with Marlene when he was 15. Surely that’s a bit young to be buying her a ring (presumably to get engaged), going into a betting shop and booking a holiday together! In Fatal Extraction, when the riots start, the outside scene shows the block of flats used for Nelson Mandella House clearly is built in a way that the door is on the side of the kitchen and not from the lounge, unlike in “The Sky’s the Limit”, the studio scene on the balcony shows a small window (in the Kitchen wall) In Fatal Extraction, during the riots outside Nelson Mandella House, the actors used for the riots were from the Old Vic drama school. Famous choirboy Aled Jones was there at the time and is amongst the rioters filmed in that scene. In Fatal Extraction, you may notice that when the answer machine message is played back at the end it is slightly different to the one actually left earlier on by Del. You’ll have to listen carefully though. In Fatal Extraction, after Del and Rodney have finished at the casino they go down the market to sell the ski-wear.

The scene starts by panning across the market down towards the place where Del’s selling his gear by means of his little side-show. Until the close up shot of Del, all his banter is clearly out of sync with what he is really saying. In Fatal Extraction, it states that the Trotters live on the 12th floor, but it also shows the lift on one of the older episodes, maybe when Del’s dad makes a return, and it clearly states the 13th floor. In Fatal Extraction, when Rodney comes into the dentist to see Del about the hamster he looks a bit wind swept with his hair everywhere and when it go back to Rodney his hair is perfect.
