The ReviewBrief: It's Christmas Day at Nelson Mandela
House, and Del and Rodneys' dad, Reg is back, 18 years after
walking out, suffering from a hereditary blood disorder - 'Some
people get wise men bearing gifts We a get a wally with a
disease! Transmitted: 25.12.1983 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 10.8 million
Reg Trotter, absentee father to Del and Rodney, unexpectedly
arrives to celebrate Christmas with his boys.
Reg explains that he has been living in Newcastle, and after a
visit from the infirmary, was diagnosed with hereditary blood
disorder. Scared for their well-being, he decided to tell his two
sons.
However, several tests later, Reg is given the all clear but
it seems Del Boy and Rodders have different blood types. It would
seem the wayward father has some explaining to do.
Reg explains that he frequently argued with their mother
before they split. She had several dalliances with other men, and
Del is the mystery child. Fortunately a visit to the family quack
gives him news to put the smile back on his face.
