The ReviewBrief: Rodney breaks up the Trotter partnership
to go it alone - with Mickey Pierce! Does Micky's trip the Costas
mean that the duo are opening a Spanish branch already? Still Del
has a heart and a mate Towser, maybe they can help Rodney out of
his sorry state. Transmitted: 17.11.1983 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 9.7 million
Rodney is taking stock of his life, and at the age of 24 he is
disappointed to find he has only risen to become Del's look-out
while they're on the make with dodgy goods.
After a bit of soul-searching - during which Del narrowly
escapes the Old Bill while Rodders was lost in thought - Rodney
breaks some big news to Del that he's set up a rival business with
Mickey Pearce.
Shocked and hurt by this, Del warns him that if he wants to
stand on his own two feet, then the price is total independence
from the TITCO cash flow; including beer money.
Later at an auction, Del warns his Little Bruv not to buy Lot
37, but Rodney doubts his brother's generosity - thinking that he
wants the lot for himself - and he buys Lot 37 unseen.
It turns out that Lot 37 is a bunch of broken lawnmower
engines that Del had sold in the first place, and after Mickey
Pearce uses their meagre profits for a trip to Benidorm, Rodders is
soon back as a partner in Trotters Independent Traders.
