Del and Rodney go to Uncle Alberts old navy reunion to break the news of Uncle Alberts death. Del came up with a plan for Denzel and Trigger to come by truck and get some wine for cheap price (they're in france). They have to speed the delievery up and del does it trapping an illegal immigrant in the truck. Del put tomato puree in boycies hair gel so he smells like a big mac.

TRIVIA (6)
ADD TRIVIA
- While in the Nag's Head with Del and Rodney, Raquel and Cassandra say that Albert met Elsie Partridge before the war, but in "Sickness and Wealth", Rodney says that Albert met Elsie at bingo.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the past, Del's French greetings have always been incorrect. But when he answered the phone to Denzil, he got it correct for the first ever time.
  EDIT SHARE
- Raquel complains that Boycie keeps putting the hair gel on. How can he if he claims he left everything in the house. I'd think a wallet's more important then hairgel.
  EDIT SHARE
- In 'Strangers on the Shore', If you notice, the pyjamas that Gary wears are the same ones that Del wore in the 1989 episode 'Sickness And Wealth'.
  EDIT SHARE
- Boycie doesn't seem to know who "Gary" really is but Del and Rodney discuss the situation infront of him.
  EDIT SHARE
- Boycie's art on the news looks nothing like him.

  EDIT SHARE
- Del: A year ago you and Cassandra were really trying for this baby weren't you? I mean you was at it like a pair of goats. I remember that you became so pale you had to have your passport photo redone!
  EDIT SHARE
- Del: I remember going around your flat. I couldn't get a bottle of milk in the fridge for specimens.
  EDIT SHARE
