Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
After Del helps Rodney get over Cassandra's miscarriage and their loss of their baby, Raquel's parents are coming to dinner, so Del pulls out all the stops - if only Uncle Albert knew the difference between coffee and gravy granules. The next morning, Rodney's stock-take reveals Trotters Independent Traders' assets as an artificial leg, some Showaddy Waddy LPs, and a broken watch. But Raquel's father knows a bit about antiques and spots something that will change their lives forever. Could if really be that "this time next week", the Trotter family will finally be millionaires?

Episode Goofs

The Trotter garage is a lot smaller than the one seen in "It's Only Rock and Roll", where it had a wall opposite and was much larger.

In the scene where he is looking through the garage before going with Del to the lifts, Rodney lifts up two of the Russian Army camcorders at the same time - whereas in "Fatal Extraction", Rodney could barely carry one camcorder because they were so heavy.

During the time Del and Rodney are stuck in the lift, as Denzil and Mickey Pearce take furniture out of the Trotters' flat, the door number is clearly 127, yet it was stated in "Hole in One" during the court case that the Trotters live at 368 Nelson Mandela House.
