How many fans spotted the Del Boy cap connection in the recent Sport Relief special?
Have a look at the cap in the market scene from the Jolly Boys Outing episode.
Now take a look at the cap Del Boy wore in the Sports Relief Episode
It’s the same cap! For the “hawk eye” fans of the show you will also know its the cap that was also in A Royal Flush in the shotgun scene and Tea for Three with the hang glider scene.
David Jason had kept it all these years.
It’s all lovely jubbly when you see the present tying up with the past. Anyone else spot any little gems like this?
Finally another photo of his cap in 1986 during the filming of A Royal Flush where the classic line of ” Iggy Iggins robs banks! But it’s ok cause its a Saturday !” Which unless you lived in the eighties probably make a lot less sense today.
I beleive thay the White Cap that Sir David Jason wore in Miami Twice, is the same one he wore again in If They Could See Us Now ?
Looking at Rodneys burnt face in the picture above reminds me of the Episode Miami Twice part 1 when they were at a Christening. Del and Rodders both sported suntans even though it was cold and they still hadn’t even gone to Miami yet.
That’s probily because the filmed the uk scenes after they filmed in the u.s
It really is amazing how a flat cap makes such a magical difference to Del boy. I remember being depressed at the time of series 7 as he didn’t wear one once! It was as if the old Del boy had gone for ever and here was this new sensible family man Del boy signaling the end of the show. So then I remember being delighted when it made a come back in ‘Mother natures son’ even though it was just for the allotment scenes, but that to me seemed like the re-birth of the good old original Del boy. I’m sure it was all down to John Sullivan who tried to neatly wrap up the show on more than one occasion but due to massive popular demand he had to keep untying a few tied loose ends.
