Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
Times are hard again. Bankrupt and back to selling dodgy Slovakian log-effect gas fires, Del's even driving for Boycie. Trotters Independent Traders needs capital - pronto. So when the Trotter Brothers decide to travel to Normandy to represent their late Uncle Albert at a war reunion, a "nothing-to-declare" visit to a wine warehouse with Denzil's new van seems a cushty option.

But chamboussiz nouvelle! France is like a foreign country: the reunion town is full of Albert-a-likes ("more Captain Birdseye's Banjo than Captain Morelli's Mandarin"), they bring back an illegal immigrant and somehow become the internationally-hunted "Gary Gang".

Episode Notes

The pyjamas that Gary wears are the same ones that Del wore in "Sickness and Wealth" (the red pyjamas) and "Modern Men" (the lime green pyjamas).

Episode Goofs

When Boycie comes to the flat after his mansion is set on fire, he claims that all he has are the clothes he's wearing. But at the market a few days later, Raquel tells Del that she is sick of Boycie putting on the hair gel that smells of onion (because of Del). It is completely unknown how Boycie could use the hair gel if it was still in his house.

While in the Nag's Head with Del and Rodney, Raquel and Cassandra claim that Albert met Elsie Partridge before the war, but in "Sickness and Wealth", Rodney says that Albert met Elsie at bingo.
