There's also trouble with a chandelier, and Grandad is imprisoned - in Spain! A fishing trip takes a turn for the worse: has Del had his chips? There's also plenty of bother from Detective Roy Slater, kerfuffle with a canary, and Rodney's promoted - to become Chairman of the Residents' Association. Life changes dramatically for the brothers Trotter, with the death of their beloved Grandad shaking Nelson Mandela House to its core.
But fret not, for Trotter-shaped mayhem is never far off when Grandad's brother, the old sea dog Uncle Albert, arrives on the scene Del's enterprising spirit ramps up from Series 5: he gets involved in the sale of babies, exploits a holy miracle at a local church, and gets into the film business. His cruel streak also makes more than a bit of a showing when Rodney falls for the daughter of an aristocrat The seeds of paternal doubt begin to be sewn in Rodney's mind. Just who was Freddy the Frog?
And was a stash of gold bullion his only legacy? Never normally an advisable idea, Del follows Trigger's example by joining a dating agency. Rodney, too, seems to be finally having some romantic luck with a barmaid at the Nag's Head. Del's finally gone the whole-hog and embraced the yuppy lifestyle.
Rodney, meanwhile, has fallen in love with Cassandra, a fellow pupil on a night school course. Business is as dodgy as ever, but are the boys' personal lives finally on the up? True love isn't quite running smoothly for Rodney and Cassandra. Storyline Edit. Traders and brothers, Rodney and Derek "Del Boy" Trotter, work from the streets of London buying what they can from the auctions and flogging it down at the market, always saying "This time next year, we'll be millionaires".
Their Granddad and, later in the series, Uncle Albert also live in their council flat as the wise old man saying their next scheme won't work and offering in their jokes.
Did you know Edit. Trivia The outdoor scenes were filmed in Bristol as the producers could not afford the insurance to film in Peckham. This however, is the same suitcase that was stolen previously in Miami Twice Part 2. Quotes [Talking about naming Del's baby] Trigger : If it's a girl they're gonna name it Sigourney, after the actress. Alternate versions When originally shown in the UK.

User reviews Review. Top review. One of the best. This truly is the greatest comedy to hit the screens in the UK. Some of moments of comic genius written by creator John Sullivan are on a completely different level to anything else seen on British TV. Yes, you can talk about Del falling through the bar, and yes you can talk about the blow up sex dolls.
They are classic moments, but there are so many hugely funny scenes that are so advanced, it really is amazing how JS thought of them. For example, my personal favourite is in the episode Heroes and Villains when Del Boy and Rodney go to a publican's ball dressed as Batman and Robin - a good idea for a fancy dress party. But then comes a catalogue of comic brilliance. Firstly, already dressed in their outfits the van breaks down in the middle of Peckham.
DB and R do a runner and scamper through Peckham only to confront a group of muggers. The muggers leave their intended victim convinced it's the real Batman and Robin! Then comes Rodney's wonderful clench fist ala Robin before shouting to Del "Let's go" - in my opinion it's the perfect line and one of British comedy's greatest moments. And to top it off, they finally get to the ball only to find the landlord has 24 hours earlier died.
Everyone is dressed in their funeral outfits except for our 'caped crusaders' who stand out like a sore thumb. Whilst Rodney and Cassandra spice up their love life by dressing up, Del decides to restore the family wealth by going on the quiz show 'Gold Rush', hosted by Jonathan Ross. He does very well but has to phone Rodney for the answer to the jackpot question, and Rodney gives the wrong answer.
Back home Del gets a call from the show to say that Rodney's answer was actually correct so that Del has won the prize money after all. Unfortunately Del thinks it's pub regular S9, Ep2. Going to France to scatter the late Uncle Albert's ashes near the village where he spent part of the war, Del decides to kill two birds with one stone and organize a booze cruise.
At the village they learn that Albert was a real ladies' man, which could be why most of the menfolk resemble him.
Back in Peckham they discover a young man who seems to have stowed away in their van and can only answer "Gary" to everything asked of him. In fact he is called Rashid and he was loading the van when he got trapped behind the booze. He was carried to England against his wishes
