Trivia
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
- 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
- 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
