In A Losing Streak, Further to Andy's observation at the bottom, in A Losing Streak Del says his dad left home AFTER his mum died. Del says it was his 16th birthday. And his mum died in 1964 not 1963.


In A Losing Streak, Grandad wins £125 from a £5 bet on a 25-1 Horse. However if he's won he would have got his stake back, making his winnings £130. Plus he would have had to pay betting tax at some point, which was still operational at the time.


In A Losing Streak, when Del's voice is obviously dubbed when remarking about the Irishman ordering a short, the phrase he really uses, according to the book "The Trotter Way To Millions", is "...the only Provo weightwatcher in London", which was obviously a topical gag at the time that was later deemed unsuitable for broadcast. The word "Provo" is dubbed with the word "genuine", which does not really have the same effect, but Del's mouth movements support the theory that the true word is indeed "Provo".


In A Losing Streak, When Boycie enters the flat for the big card game he comments on the grotty flat as if he has never seen it before,surely if Del and Boyce have been mates since school he would have been round once or twice.


In A Losing Streak, near the end when Del, Trig and Boycie are getting hot and heavy Trig decides to leave picking up a hand full of cash but later on when Del asks for money trigger says he's skint!!.


In A Losing Streak, When Del is asking Grandad to lend him his horse winnings, he is explaining that he had a bet earlier with Boycie on what drink Brendon would have. His mouth is clearly dubbed.


In A Losing Streak, Del says "Remember Boycie the secondhand car dealer from Lewisham" obviously meaning Boycie is from Lewisham whereas in "The Class Of 62" Boycie went to school with Del at Dockside Secondary Modern in Peckham.


In A Losing Streak, when Del Boy was telling Granddad about the bet that he had lost to Boycie that day in the Pub you can see by the way his lips move that it is a voice over


In A Losing Streak, Del has hidden their mum's money in the telephone, but over the years, even before that episode lots of different phones have been seen in the flat!


In A Losing Streak, Del uses the money his Mum left him which he "had hid only too well" from his Dad to help finance the increasing stakes in the poker game against Boycie. But if that money had been left by his mum in the sixties when she died, surely it was no longer legal tender with the onset of decimalisation?


In A Losing Streak, After Del loses a bet to Boycie in the Nag's Head, when a builder orders a slim-line tonic, he reiterates the story to Granddad in the flat. Del refers to the said builder as a "bonafide weightwatcher" and yet it's dubbed out as "genuine weightwatcher", clearly a dubbed-over word.
In A Losing Streak, In the nags head Rodney admits to Del that he does not remember his dad leaving home. But in a later episode while in bed Rodney tells Cassandra how he remembered Del chasing his dad around the room!
