The ReviewBrief: Del bumps into Alex the Travel-agent. Next moment the Trotters family holiday is underway. Everything seems to be going according to plan, until Grandad starts acting a bit strange. Then Granddad runs into a bit of trouble with the Spanish Police.
Transmitted: 25.11.1982 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 9.5 million
Trotters' Independent Trading Company has been forced off the
market, with the continuing downpour keeping most of Peckham
indoors.
While drowning their sorrows in The Nag's Head, Alex the
travel agent mentions that business is slow and he can't give
holidays away at the moment. As a promotional gimmick, Del suggests
offering an 80% discount on a holiday to the next customer in the
shop - and who happens to walk by, but Derek Trotter.
Having sold sun-hats in the rain, Rodders has managed to earn
some travel cash, but he is dismayed to learn that the 80% discount
only extends to a grotty hotel in Benidorm. And despite not being
included in the bargain, the brothers reluctantly pay for Grandad
to join them on their escape to the sun.
During the whole holiday, Del and Rodney check out the local
talent, while Grandad cramps their style. Especially when they
bring two girls back to their apartment, only for the old man to
scare them off with his dentures.
Things get a bit more serious when Grandad gets himself
arrested. Despite fearing that old history is returning to haunt
him - in the form of an incident 'during the war' - it turns out
that he was arrested for jay-walking and is released without
charge. Much to Del's annoyance.
