The ReviewBrief: The Trotters are potless so Uncle Albert
comes to the rescue by having an 'accident' with the open cellar
door of the Nag's Head. Solly knows how to make a nice large case
out of this. It should be a doddle in court. Transmitted: 07.03.1985 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 13.4 million
The Trotter's have fallen on hard times, largely due to
Rodney's £500 investment in suntan lotion during one of the
worst winters ever seen.
To make things worse, the deep-fat fryer they sold to Mike,
landlord of The Nag's Head, is on the blink and the tension brings
Del and Rodney to boiling point. But throughout all this trouble,
Uncle Albert, who Rodders blames for their bad luck, keeps telling
them that something will turn up.
As Albert leaves the pub, he accidentally falls through an
open cellar door, and the Trotters' quickly come up with a way to
get some cash - by suing the pub for damages.
Albert's accident claim finally makes it to court, but to the
shock of Del and Rodney, it appears that their Uncle has already
sought 15 identical damages claims going back to 1944. Their case
gets chucked out of court, and Albert admits he was using some of
the tricks he learnt as a stuntman to try and help Del and Rodney
pay for Grandad's headstone.
