- 07:15D'you know what the crews nicknamed me?
- 07:17- Jonah?
- 07:21- No, they didn't call me Jonah.
- 07:23Not many of them.
- 07:24They used to call me Boomerang Trotter,
- 07:27'cos I always come back.
- 07:28(company laughing in background)
- 07:29- Terrific.
- 07:31- Here Rodney, do me a favor will you?
- 07:32You know them batteries out there in the hall?

- 07:42and get on our way, all right?
- 07:45- I don't like the people over this side of the river.
- 07:48They're not as nice as North Londoners.
- 07:50- You don't know what you're talking about, girl.
- 07:51I was born round here.
- 07:52- Need I say more?
- 07:54- You couldn't wish to meet a more honest
- 07:56and generous people as South Londoners.
- 07:58- Honest and generous?
- 08:00I noticed they didn't have a whip round at the cemetery.
- 08:02- Well they couldn't, could they.
- 08:04Someone nicked the Vicar's hat!
- 08:08- Del, Del, do you remember us?
- 08:09- Oh!
- 08:10- Cousin Stan.
- 08:11- Stan, yes!
- 08:11Yeah, of course I remember you.
- 08:12Yeah, I was gonna come over and have a chat with you.
- 08:13- This is my wife, Jean.
- 08:14- Oh, Jean, yeah.
- 08:15Hello, Jean, how are you?
- 08:16- This is Uncle Albert.
- 08:17- Oh, Uncle Albert, is it?
- 08:18Hello.
- 08:20- Your mum asked me to be your Godfather.
- 08:22- Oh!
- 08:23Yeah, I thought Uncle George was my Godfather?
- 08:25- Yeah, that's right.
- 08:26Me and him spun a coin.
- 08:27- George lost.
- 08:31- So what you up to these days, Stan?
- 08:32Are you still poncing around in the insurance game, are you?
- 08:35- Well, I'm still in the insurance business, yeah,
- 08:37and doing very nicely thank you.
- 08:38- We've got our own place, all paid for.
- 08:41- Oh really?
- 08:42What you got, a maisonette?
- 08:42- No, it's a mobile home, actually.
- 08:44- Ah, I see.
- 08:45You've got a caravan.
- 08:48- It's got two separate bedrooms, a breakfast bar,
- 08:50and a combined toilet and shower-room.
- 08:52- Oh, it's a big caravan.
- 08:56- Well this is just a council flat, isn't it?
- 08:58- Yeah, but there's no chance of this getting a puncture,
- 09:00is there?
- 09:03- He's been living with us for 18 months now.
- 09:05He only popped round to borrow a screwdriver.
- 09:08- If I hear another nautical yarn I'll swing for him.
- 09:12- Someone suggested an old folks home.
- 09:14- Well, you can't do that, he's family.
- 09:15- Oh, we didn't consider it, did we love?
- 09:18- No, of course not!
- 09:20Well not at them prices anyway.
- 09:25- You all right, son?
- 09:27- Yeah.
- 09:28- You ever been on board a ship, Rodney?
- 09:30- Yeah, yeah, when I was a kid.
- 09:33Grandad took me.
- 09:36- I see.
- 09:37Did he ever take you down and show you the engine room?
- 09:39- No, no, it was only the Woolwich Ferry.
- 09:43He got seasick.
- 09:45We had to go home via the Rotherhithe tunnel.
- 09:48- I used to work in the engine room.
- 09:50Maintenance, that sort of thing.
- 09:51Cor, them boilers took some looking out for.
- 09:55D'you know what the most important gadget is
- 09:57in the engine room?
- 09:59- The lock on the porthole?
- 10:02- No, they don't have port--
- 10:04It's the safety valve on the boiler.
- 10:07You get a build-up of pressure
- 10:08and the safety valves ain't working, bang!
- 10:12The whole gubbins explodes.
- 10:13You've gotta find a way of releasing the pressure.
- 10:17That's what's happening to Del.
- 10:18He's releasing the pressure.
- 10:20Laughter is just his safety valve, yeah.
- 10:24- Yeah?
- 10:24- Yeah.
- 10:25- Well, I don't think it's right.
- 10:27Them people laughing in there.
- 10:30I ain't laughing.
- 10:32I ain't laughing today, I ain't laughing tomorrow.
- 10:36I don't wanna laugh for the rest of my life.
- 10:39- Well, as long as you're happy, son.
- 10:44- I'm away now, boys, I'll see you later.
- 10:45- Keep it in your trousers, Michael.
- 10:46- I'm off now, Del, all right son?
- 10:47- Yeah, yeah, thanks for coming, Mike.
- 10:49'Ere, you're doin' a bit of a flyer ain't ya?
- 10:50- Well, as a sign of respect for yer grandad,
- 10:52I've decided to open the pub early.
- 10:54- Oh that's very nice of you Mike,
- 10:56appreciate the gesture, thanks.
- 10:58- Oh about the booze, it comes to 86 quid.
- 11:01- Please Mike,
- 11:03don't discuss money now.
- 11:06I mean you'll be offering me a discount for cash next.
- 11:10Won't you?
- 11:13- I saw the periscope half mile off starboard.
- 11:17I saw the wash of torpedo's fins.
- 11:20It caught us right at the, uh,
- 11:22at the pointed end, yeah.
- 11:24Wallop!
- 11:25Up it went.
- 11:26Foam, flame, fire, smoke, burning metal.
- 11:33As soon as it happened I thought to myself,
- 11:34"Hello, we've been hit."
- 11:37- I expect you get to know the little signs, eh?
- 11:41- Yeah, okay Mike, 'ere listen,
- 11:43don't worry about that burglar alarm that got nicked,
- 11:45'cos Trigger knows where he can get hold of another one.
- 11:48All right, so I'll whip it round to you okay?
- 11:49- Okay, cheers Del.
- 11:50See you, Rodney.
- 11:51- Yeah, bye.
- 11:52- Cheers.
- 11:53- Thanks Mike, yeah.
- 11:55- Del, I've just been telling young Rodney
- 11:56about my days in the Navy.
- 11:59I don't know why you don't join up.
- 12:01- Yeah, well you've just given me five good reasons.
- 12:22- Here we are!
- 12:22Here we go Rodney, look specialty of the house.
- 12:25Sausage und ala the old mash.
- 12:27Here you go.
- 12:28- I ain't really all that hungry, Del.
- 12:31- Oh come on, Rodders.
- 12:32I've been an hour out there in that kitchen cooking this.
- 12:35Go on, try it at least.
- 12:42- I can't eat that, Del.
- 12:44- What's wrong with it?
- 12:45- Well, it's nothing like Grandad's is it?
- 12:47It tastes nice.
- 12:52- I tried to mess it up, honest I did, Rodney.
- 12:55Just didn't have his knack.
- 12:58Do you know he was taught to cook
- 12:59at one of London's biggest establishments?
- 13:02- You're kidding.
- 13:03- No, straight up.
- 13:04He was a trainee chef at the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital.
- 13:10Now, come on then.
- 13:12Come on, let's give this a hiding, Shall we?
- 13:14- Yeah, why not?
- 13:15- Yeah, that's it.
- 13:16(clanging noise)
- 13:19Well it's just...
- 13:20it's just us two now, bruv.
- 13:22Me and you against the rest.
- 13:26Ah, don't stand a bloody chance do they, eh?
- 13:28(clanging noise)
- 13:33- Del?
- 13:33- Yeah?
- 13:34- Someone's trying to pull our lavatory chain.
- 13:38- Yeah, I know.
- 13:40I know it's an awkward one innit?
- 13:41The secret is one slow pull and then a sharp one like that.
- 13:46(lavatory chain being pulled hard, toilet flushing)
- 13:49There you go.
- 13:49There it is, see?
- 13:52- What I'm saying is, right...
- 13:53- Yeah?
- 13:54- We're the only ones in the flat
- 13:57and someone's trying to flush our lav.
- 14:02- Oh, yeah, well maybe it's a washer or something.
- 14:06- How can a bloody washer pull the chain?
- 14:10- I don't know, do I?
- 14:11I am not a scientist or something, am I?
- 14:13No, it's all right, it's probably something, you know,
- 14:16quite simple.
- 14:18You know, nothing...
- 14:20Nothing at all really.
- 14:22Where's my bloody hammer?
- 14:28- Del!
- 14:36- Oh my bloody head.
- 14:37- Gordon Bennett.
- 14:39You nearly had your head caved in then,
- 14:40you soppy old sod!
- 14:42- I had too much of that cognac.
- 14:45Where is everyone?
- 14:47- Well, they've all gone home, haven't they?
- 14:48It's half past 11 at night.
- 14:51- Where the hell have you been?
- 14:52- I conked out in one of them beds.
- 14:54Cor, my belly's going round and round.
- 14:58Oh my God.
- 15:01Half past 11?
- 15:03D'you think Stan and Jean'll be worried about me?
- 15:05- Worried about you?
- 15:08Yeah, well of course they'll be worried about you,
- 15:10won't they.
- 15:12Well, look, we can't drive you back there tonight now.
- 15:15No, me and Rodney have had enough to drink.
- 15:18- What about a minicab then?
- 15:20- No, you won't get one now Rodney,
- 15:21they'll be busy washing out their backseats.
- 15:26What I reckon is you've got to stay here tonight
- 15:28and I'll drive you back to North London tomorrow, right?
- 15:30Rodney, you go and lock up.
- 15:31Oi, make sure you bring them batteries in
- 15:33before someone swipes 'em, all right?
- 15:34- No one's gonna nick them, Del.
- 15:37- Really, how d'you think we got 'em?
- 15:41- I appreciate this, son.
- 15:42- Ah forget it, I'll get you a pillow and some blankets
- 15:44and you can make yourself a bed there on the chaise lounge,
- 15:46all right?
- 15:47- 'Ere, I won't be able to sleep on there Del.
- 15:49I need a good firm mattress.
- 15:52I've got a curvature of the spine, see.
- 15:54- Really?
- 15:55It's all them years sleeping in an hammock I suppose, is it?
- 15:57- Yeah.
- 15:59I might as well kip down in there, eh?
- 16:01- No, no, you can't go in there,
- 16:02that's my Grandad's room.
- 16:03- Yeah, but I'm his brother.
- 16:05- Yeah, that don't make no difference.
- 16:06Only me and Rodney are allowed in that room.
- 16:09That room is gonna remain exactly as he left it.
- 16:13That room is going to be a shrine
- 16:15dedicated to the memory of my grandfather.
- 16:20- I understand Del.
- 16:22- No, we'll just have to think of something else,
- 16:23that's all.
- 16:24Listen, if I get the big mattress out of Rodney's room,
- 16:26I can put it down there.
- 16:27No, I'd never get it through the door would I?
- 16:30- Oi, where'd you want these then?
- 16:32- Oh, sling 'em in Grandad's room for now, will you, Rodney?
- 16:48- All right?
- 16:49Did you get Albert home safely?
- 16:51- Yeah, I got him home safely all right, Rodney.
- 16:56- Morning, son.
- 16:57- Morning.
- 17:00You're back?
- 17:02- Boomerang Trotter always comes back.
- 17:04- What happened?
- 17:06- What happened?
- 17:07I'll tell you what happened!
- 17:08I drove him all the way back to North London,
- 17:10right through the bleedin' rush hour.
- 17:12And what did we find when we got there?
- 17:13Stan and Jean have moved.
- 17:18- Moved?
- 17:20What do you mean moved?
- 17:21- What do you mean what do I mean?
- 17:24They hooked the caravan on the back of the Cortina
- 17:25and they've had it away!
- 17:28- This was lying where the caravan once stood.
- 17:31It's just me clothes and a few personal belongings.
- 17:35- You mean that's all you've got in the world?
- 17:37- No, no, we've gotta go back tomorrow
- 17:38to pick up his parrot.
- 17:41How could they do this to me, eh?
- 17:43- That is disgusting innit?
- 17:45I mean, deserting him like that.
- 17:47- Yeah, it ain't the first time it's happened, either.
- 17:50- I mean, I, think there should be a law
- 17:51or something against that.
- 17:52- Yeah, I know.
- 17:53All I wanna know is where they've got--
- 17:56'Ere, what did you say just then?
- 17:58- I said it ain't the first time it's happened either.
- 18:01D'you remember your cousin Audrey?
- 18:03I went and stayed with her and her husband Kevin for a year.
- 18:06One day they sent me down to Sainsbury's
- 18:08with a shopping list.
- 18:09When I come back they'd emigrated.
- 18:13Not a dicky bird to me though.
- 18:16Then there was young Gillian, you know, Patsy's girl.
- 18:19I went over there to give her a bit of comfort
- 18:20'cos her husband was on nights.
- 18:23Six months later she sets fire to the house.
- 18:27She got three months medical supervision for that.
- 18:30I can remember thinking as I stood on the ledge
- 18:32and jumped into the fireman's net,
- 18:34"That's gratitude for you!"
- 18:40- Now I've got a funny feeling, Del.
- 18:44- So have I, Rodney.
- 18:47I feel like a turkey who's just caught
- 18:49Bernard Matthews grinning at him.
- 18:55- What shall I do with these then?
- 18:57- I tell you what you ought to do with those, shall I?
- 18:59You put them in here, right?
- 19:00In they go, they go in there,
- 19:02'cos you're not staying here, all right?
- 19:04- No, of course not.
- 19:05Just for a couple of days, that's all.
- 19:07- No. No, no!
- 19:08Not for a couple of days, not for one day.
- 19:09There's a seaman's mission
- 19:10down there at St Katharine's Dock.
- 19:12You go down here, go on!
- 19:13- Well, I thought I'd just have a look at the local paper
- 19:16and find meself some digs.
- 19:17- Yeah, that's a good idea Uncle!
- 19:18They'll have a local paper down at the mission.
- 19:20Now, go on sling your hook.
- 19:21- Yeah, all right, Del.
- 19:23You don't mind if I have a quick cup of tea, do you?
- 19:25- No, go on there's a flask of cold tea out there
- 19:27and some vol-au-vents from yesterday.
- 19:28Go on, you can have them.
- 19:30- Cheers, son.
- 19:33- Oi.
- 19:34- Hmm?
- 19:35- What are you doing, winding him up?
- 19:36- Yeah, yeah, I'm winding him up aren't I?
- 19:39I'm winding him up.
- 19:41- Del, he only wants to stay for a couple of nights
- 19:43and get himself sorted out.
- 19:45- He's a Trotter, Rodney.
- 19:46- We're Trotters.
- 19:47- Yes I know, but we take after Mum in nature.
- 19:49He's from Dad's side of the family.
- 19:51You know what they're like.
- 19:52You offer 'em a cup of tea
- 19:53and they think you've adopted 'em.
- 19:55Look at that time when Dad came round here.
- 19:56He wanted to stay one night.
- 19:58Took us nigh on a fortnight to get rid of him.
- 20:06- (softly) Uncle Albert might not be like that.
- 20:08- Oh leave it out, Rodney.
- 20:10You've heard him yourself
- 20:11when he was telling us about that time he came round
- 20:12the Cape of Good Hope.
- 20:14He was three months on the same wave!
- 20:19- I don't believe you Del.
- 20:21I do not believe that you of all people, could...
- 20:27- Where do you think you're going?
- 20:28- I'm going down the caff!
- 20:29I'm gonna get some grub and some better company!
- 20:32(door slams)
- 20:37I'm gonna put some clothes on first.
- 21:07You've changed, Del.
- 21:08- Yeah, well it's about time you did.
- 21:09Come on, we've got to go down to the market later on.
- 21:11- I mean your personality has changed.
- 21:13I've seen a side of you I never knew existed.
- 21:17- You don't understand, Rodney.
- 21:19- You're right about that, Del!
- 21:21I mean, look at you.
- 21:22Last night, you was laughing, you was drinking.
- 21:25I mean, why didn't you just put your Boney M record on, Del?
- 21:27We could have had a good old knees-up!
- 21:30It was Grandad!
- 21:34How could you get over it so easily?
- 21:37- Get over it?
- 21:41What a plonker you really are, Rodney.
- 21:45Get over it?
- 21:47I ain't even started yet.
- 21:48I ain't even started, bruv.
- 21:50And do you know why?
- 21:52Because I don't know how to.
- 21:54That's why.
- 21:58I've survived all my life with a smile and a prayer.
- 22:00I'm Del Boy, ain't I?
- 22:00"Good old Del Boy, he's got more bounce than Zebedee.
- 22:05'Ere you are pal, what you drinking?
- 22:06Go on.
- 22:06Hello darling, you have one for luck."
- 22:07That's me, that's Del Boy, innit?
- 22:10Nothing ever upsets Del Boy.
- 22:13I've always played the tough guy.
- 22:15I didn't want to, but I had to.
- 22:18And I've played it for so long now
- 22:21I don't know how to be anything else.
- 22:26I don't even know how to...
- 22:30Oh, it don't matter.
- 22:33Bloody families, I've finished with 'em!
- 22:36What do they do to you, eh?
- 22:38They hold you back, drag you down,
- 22:44and then they break your bloody heart.
- 22:53- (softly) Sorry.
- 23:03(music plays on telly)
- 23:13(laughter)
- 23:15- All right there, all right.
- 23:16Hello darling.
- 23:18- I'll be over there.
- 23:18- Okay, all right.
- 23:19All right pal, what you drinking?
- 23:21Give him one.
- 23:22I'll have a Malibu and tonic with some lime
- 23:24and half a lager, please, darling.
- 23:25- In the same glass?
- 23:28- No, in separate ones, if you don't mind.
- 23:30- Well I don't know do I?
- 23:32It might have been one of your erotic cocktails, Del.
- 23:36- She's a saucy little cow that one, ain't she, eh?
- 23:38- All right Del?
- 23:39- Yeah, brill, terrific!
- 23:40How're things?
- 23:41- Oh you know, quiet.
- 23:42Here, you know that old boy that was at the funeral?
- 23:45Him with the beard?
- 23:46- Yeah.
- 23:47- He was here lunchtime.
- 23:48- Oh yeah?
- 23:49- What is he, a relative or something?
- 23:51- Nah, well yeah, I mean, he's a distant relative, yeah.
- 23:53- He was telling me all about his wartime dramas.
- 23:55Torpedoed five time, dive-bombed twice.
- 23:58He's a bit of a jinx isn't he?
- 23:59- Yeah.
- 24:00You know what his last job was, don't you?
- 24:01He was entertainment officer on the Belgrano.
- 24:06No, straight up.
- 24:08Right, cheers, darling!
- 24:09- One eighty, please.
- 24:10- All right, there you go.
- 24:11Go on, have one for luck.
- 24:12- Oh, cheers.
- 24:12- Oh, that reminds me Del, about all that booze yesterday?
- 24:14- Yeah, what about it.
- 24:15Went down a treat didn't it?
- 24:17See you later Mike.
- 24:22Cheers.
- 24:24- I wonder where he is?
- 24:25- Eh, who?
- 24:26- Uncle Albert.
- 24:27- Oh him, oh, well he's down the seaman's mission by now,
- 24:29ain't he, eh?
- 24:30Got himself a lovely bed, blinding little locker.
- 24:33Yeah, he's as happy as a pig in sugar, he is, yeah.
- 24:38- Yeah, I suppose so but it makes you think, don't it?
- 24:41I mean, a man fights for his country like that,
- 24:43you know, laying his life on the line.
- 24:47D'you know he went down with five different ships?
- 24:49- Yeah, I know.
- 24:50I don't know why he just didn't join the submarine corps
- 24:52in the first place.
- 24:56Hmm?
- 25:03(Uncle Albert coughs)
- 25:07- Hey, he's got a nasty cough, ain't he?
- 25:09- Yeah, pity Boots ain't open, innit.
- 25:19- You all right Unc?
- 25:20- Yeah, fine son.
- 25:21- Yeah, good.
- 25:22Did you go down the mission then?
- 25:23- Yeah, I went down there, but it ain't there no more.
- 25:26They knocked it down.
- 25:28Built some luxury flats and a marina.
- 25:32- Um, look, I ain't got very much.
- 25:35I've got what, two--
- 25:36- Oh, put yer money away Rodney.
- 25:38I don't want it.
- 25:40Thanks for the offer though.
- 25:43Go on, you go back to Del.
- 25:45Don't you worry about me.
- 25:47All right?
- 25:48Don't worry.
- 25:52(coughs)
- 26:00It's all right Rodney, nothing to worry about.
- 26:04It's just me lungs.
- 26:07We hit a mine coming back from Normandy.
- 26:12I was trapped for 12 hours in a smoke-filled engine room.
- 26:16- Oh.
- 26:17Well, if it's not one thing it's another, eh?
- 26:25- He ain't got nowhere to sleep tonight.
- 26:26- Hmm.
- 26:27- He went down the mission, it's not there any more,
- 26:29there's just a marina.
- 26:31- Well can't he kip in the back of that?
- 26:37- A yachting marina.
- 26:41Come on, Del, that's Grandad's brother sitting over there.
- 26:44Where do you want him to sleep, eh?
- 26:45A doss-house?
- 26:46- Listen Rodney, that bloke has been
- 26:47in shark-infested seas, right?
- 26:50He's been attacked by kamikaze pilots
- 26:52and blown up more times than a beach ball.
- 26:56One night in a doss-house ain't gonna do him any harm,
- 26:58is it?
- 27:00- You don't believe all them stories do ya?
- 27:04- What, do you reckon they're porkies?
- 27:10- Well, of course they are.
- 27:12I didn't wanna say nothing 'cos, you know, he's a proud man.
- 27:16- Oh, proud, him?
- 27:17He comes from Dad's side of the family, doesn't he?
- 27:19- No, I just offered him a couple of quid
- 27:20and he wouldn't take a penny.
- 27:22- No, well, he wouldn't would he?
- 27:23He's still got that hundred quid I gave him this afternoon.
- 27:27- You gave him an hundred pounds?
- 27:29- Yeah, you don't think I'd let him go potless do ya?
- 27:32- Is that why you can't pay Mike for the booze?
- 27:35- Oh come on.
- 27:37Come on!
- 27:42- All right?
- 27:44- Yeah, all right, son.
- 27:45Just having a drop of rum, warm me old cockles, yeah.
- 27:50- You eaten?
- 27:51- No, not yet.
- 27:53- Then why didn't you have something to eat
- 27:54when you was in here at lunchtime, eh?
- 27:56- Well, all they had left was sausage and mash
- 27:57and I've gone right off that.
- 28:02- Fancy an Indian?
- 28:05- Wouldn't mind, son.
- 28:07- Oh, we'd never get a table this time of night, Del.
- 28:09- No.
- 28:10We'll have to get a takeaway, and eat it at home.
- 28:15- Yeah.
- 28:16Yeah, that's what we'll do, we'll get a takeaway
- 28:18and eat it at home, eh?
- 28:20- It it's all right with you two, Del.
