The ReviewBrief: The Trotters visit Devon for a weekend's
fishing at Boycie's cottage.('No salmon!') Fortunately the Cheif of
Security drops by or is it ; unfortunately they get involved with
an escaped 'psycho' from the local mental hospital. Transmitted: 24.11.1983 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 9.7 million
The Trotters take a trip down to Cornwall to make use of
Boycie's country cottage for a spot of salmon poaching.
The fishing trip should be a nice little earner with £10
a salmon being paid for by Mario's fish restaurant. Del thinks that
Rodney, Grandad and he will catch the fish and split the profits
50-50 with Boycie for providing the accommodation - they just
didn't bank on an escapee from the mental institute.
On the rainy journey down to the cottage, a policeman stops
their Robin Reliant and warns the tourists that a patient has
escaped from the institute for the criminally insane - precisely a
decade after he killed a party of weekend fishermen with an
axe.
Never one to let a psychotic killer get in the way of a nifty
bargain, Del ignores the objections of Rodders and Grandad, and
they settle down for their first night in the cottage.
As the storm worsens, Rodney thinks he hears noises outside,
and when a face appears at the window, he's convinced it's the
killer. There's a knock at the door, and the Trotters' find the
institute's Chief of Security is there to reassure them - it's only
later that it becomes clear that he is, in fact, the fugitive axe
murderer.
