In Strained Relations, At the wake for Grandad back in the flat, i noticed the silouhette of one of the cameras on the door as Del is staring into the hall, just before Mike tells him he is leaving. You can then c the shadow of the camera moving away from another camera angle.


In Strained Relations, When Uncle Albert brings his haversack of belongings back to the flat after he has been abandoned it is very light (demonstrated by the way dell chucks it into the porch) - however, nearly four years later in 'Dates' when Uncle Albert brings out his black box which contains some pieces of his life history - it looks pretty weighty to say the least. Dell must have been strong to hurl that accross the room!!-it also dosn't make a loud crash when the bag hits the floor, which I am sure it would!.


In Strained Relations, when he takes Uncle Albert back to North London, Del is wearing the same shirt that he wore in the opening scene of 'Homesick'.


In Strained Relations, we see Rodney taking the batteries out of the flat on to the landing before someone falls over them. You can see Uncle albert sitting on the batteries in the corner of the landing but in 'Time On Our Hands' when Mickey and Denzil are carrying the furniture out of the flat you can see the wall begins where the door frame ends.


In Strained Relations, At the wake after grandads funeral del is standing at the door leading to the bedrooms when he is called away,as he walks away back into the livingroom, if you look at the door you can see the tv cameras shadow on the door.


In Strained Relations, the very first scene shows flowers from Del and Rodney. Note the typical Trotter spelling of the word thoughts - "always in our foughts".


In Strained Relations, 'Lee Nicholson' comments on that Del turns on the TV twice but he doesn't, Del turns on the two different TVs.


In Strained Relations, Del is seen putting the TV on twice without turning it off. Firstly at the point where Rodney threatens to go to the cafe, and secondly after Del argues with Rodney.


In Strained Relations, also while Del is turning the TV on, on  two occasions clearly the TV's have been moved from there original places, also the drinks are moved to a different area, taking into account the different camera angles.


In Strained Relations, another item to notice while Del is turning the TV on, on two occasions is the snacks from the earlier gathering. Clearly there were far more sausages on the TV the first time the TV was turned on, as compared to the second time Del turned the TV on. (It's quite likely the TV crew became peckish after humping the TV around to different positions in the room -- See previous observations).


In Strained Relations, the opening music intro normally shows pictures of the main characters e.g. (Del, Rodney, Granddad) or (Del, Rodney, Uncle Albert), but unusually even though Albert was in this episode, they decided not to replace Granddads picture by Uncle Albert's.


In Strained Relations, Rodney wears the same shirt as he did 3½ years ago in "Big Brother".


In Strained Relations, During the wake that Del boy was sitting thinking near to the door leading to the bedrooms, the camera couldn't move out of view quick enough.
