Episode Notes |
| |
We learn that Rodney is 23 in this episode. Although, that would be retconned by "The Frog's Legacy", making him 20 or 21 here.
| We also learn that Rodney and Derek's mother died when Rodney was only a small infant.
| The opening scene shows Rodney book-keeping all the Trotters Independent Traders business receipts. The receipts Rodney finds to legally prove the John Harrison watch is theirs, thus making them millionaires in "Time On Our Hands" was presumably amongst the receipts Rodney is leafing through.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Del Boy: Alot of people told me I was a right dipstick to make my brother a partner in the business, and this only goes to prove how bloody right they were.
| Grandad: That Sidney Potter's a good actor, ain't he Rodney? He was marvellous in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Rodney: Yeah knock out, Grandad. Sidney Potter?
Grandad: Yeah, you know him. Always plays the black fella.
Rodney: Sidney Potier!
Grandad: Sidney Potter.
| Rodney: Here Del, how do you pronounce that blokes name on the telly? Sidney Potter or Sidney Poitier?
(Derek looks at the TV)
Derek: Personally I call him Harry Belafonte.
| Derek Trotter: Here Trig, you know my brother?
Trigger: (To Rodney) Yeah, all right Dave?
| Derek: (To Rodney) You were only a litte nipper when God smiled on mum and made her die.
| Derek: Be honest Trig, are the police looking for them?
Trigger: No.
Rodney Then why are you hiding it under the table?
Trigger: Because you never know when they are gonna start looking, do you?
| Derek Trotter Mon Dieu! You are beautiful you are Rodney! You are! I just about sealed a deal today to buy twenty five briefcases for one hundred and seventy five pounds, when my "financial advisor" stuck his nose in and told to pay two hundred. Now having bought them and finding out they are faulty, my "financial advisor" tells me to chuck the bleeting lot in the river! Now with a financial advisor like that, who needs a bloody recession?
| Derek Trotter: (looking in the mirror) What an enigma! You know, I think I am getting better looking every day.
| Derek Trotter: You know, I think I am suffering from something incurable. (Granddad and Rodney ignore Del) Still never mind, eh?
| Derek: Women? I am surprised you know any. The only one I ever heard you mention was Shangai Lil from Basingstoke, and even then you had to drug her before you got your leg over.
Rodney: No, I didn't.
Derek: Didn't what? Drug her or get your leg over?
