Danger UXD Episode Review
Brief: Just faking a signature on a delivery note means that Del can take possession of 50 dolls for absolutely nothing. The only problem is that “Lusty Linda” and “Erotic Estelle” are not exactly what he had in mind and would seem more appropriate to Dirty Barry’s dubious trade rather than the local toyshop…

Del continues to pursue the Yuppy lifestyle, and insists that Rodney follows suit by wearing… a suit. He convinces his young bruv that it will help him shift 50 video recorders he got off of Ronnie Nelson at the Advanced Electronics Research and Development Centre.
Ever the opportunist, Del helps Denzil out by taking 50 dolls off his hands. Unfortunately the Trotters discover too late that they are inflatableĀ dolls, filled with explosive propane gas.

Episode Observation
- In Danger UXD, Why does Dirty Barry know absolutely nothing about the blow up dolls when Del phoned him earlier trying to sell them to him? Surely he would have explained the deal to him.
- In Danger UXD, the estate where the Trotters live changes significantly since the original estate in the early series. In the early ones, the tower blocks are plastered in yellow and there are several office buildings around them whereas in UXD the tower blocks have brick walls and the office buildings have disappeared and been replaced by what looks like 1930′s built semi-detatched houses. And the series only began in 1981.
- In Danger UXD, In the pub dell buys the ‘same again ‘ for denzil and buys himself a drink. Mike firstly brings over the stew and dels drink and then when he brings over half a pint for Denzil but Rodney, who has just sat down drinks it instead.
- In Danger UXD, right at the end just after the two dolls blow up, del and rodders go back in to the van and hear a hissing sound. when the doll pops up it is wearing a wig.
- In Danger UXD, the actor who plays Dirty Barry is in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves as Kevin Costners servant who is blinded by the Sherrif`s men.
- In Danger UXD, Del says to rodney that he sold all the vcr,s to Boycie and Boycie tells Trig and Mike in the pub that he paid cash for all of them. Yet in “Little Problems” Del says Boycie still owes him money for all of them.
- In Danger UXD, In the pub when denzil runs in to find del about the dolls being dangerous, when denzil leaves they are saying it is tragic then look carefully at mikes eyes, he is looking at boycie for his cue to laugh.
- In Danger UXD, when Rodney and Cassandra are having their meal pay attention to Rodney’s beer. Whenever the camera shot is from behind Rodney, his beer has a reasonable head to it. But in the apparent instant that it changes to from behind Cassandra, the beer has absolutely no head whatsoever. This happens a couple of times.
- In Danger UXD, when the doll’s in the flat fill with air and pop up behind the cocktail bar, Uncle Albert does not look around and should not know what has happened, but some how he does!
