And to make things worse, the doors  turn out to be stolen.<\/div>\n<div>It&#8217;s not long before Denzil and his five brothers come looking for their  money, so with nowhere else to go, the Trotters visit their mother&#8217;s grave &#8211; a  favourite refuge for Del in times of trouble.<\/div>\n<div>At their mother&#8217;s graveside, Rodney notices a rare butterfly from the cover  of his magazine, that&#8217;s worth about \u00a33,000 to collectors. After chasing the  butterfly around the churchyard, the park and the boating lake, they finally  capture it, only for Denzil to wander past and squash it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/as1door.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/as1door4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/as1door5.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/as1door6.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Episode Observations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, You can tell that the Butterfly is fake, especially  when del is trying to catch it on the roof of the building, you can clearly see  the string.<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, Del says when they are in the cemetary that  Grandad is in the garden of &#8216;external peace&#8217; which surely means he was cremated  yet In &#8216;Strained Relations&#8217;,Grandad has been buried.<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, when Del is on the phone, finding out that the  designer has changed their mind, as he puts the phone down the hand piece falls  apart and David Jason appears to just about stop himself from having a laugh out  loud.<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, the whole of the scene in the cemetary is actualy  filmed in a studio. Although it is very realistic look at the contours on the  screen. They only start filming outside when Del is slowly climing the roof for  the butterfly!<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, After Del pushes Rodney into the water he takes  ages to stand up, while Del is talking to Albert Rodney is just flapping his  arms around. If the water&#8217;s only 3 feet deep he&#8217;d be able to stand up straight  away.<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, Rodney&#8217;s age is 24, yet three series earlier in  &#8220;Big Brother&#8221; he is 23 !! wish we could all age as well!<\/li>\n<li>In As One Door Closes, at the beginning of the episode the bloke with the  louvre (lowvery) doors is called &#8220;TEDDY&#8221; cummings, Later Del tells Rodney that  &#8220;TOMMY&#8221; cummings was chucking &#8217;em out of the first floor window.<\/li>\n<li>In As one Door Closes, at the scene when they go to there Mums gravestone  the bench is several footsteps away and the ground directly behind the bench is  clear, yet in &#8220;Yellow Peril&#8221; Del and Rodney go to there Mums graveyard, and the  bench is one step away from the elaborate gravestone, also directly behind the  bench are other gravestones, clearly a different cemetery.<\/li>\n<li>In As one Door Closes, When Del first calls out to Denzil after hearing  he has redundancy money, and Denzil shouts back: &#8220;You&#8217;re not having any!&#8221;, he is  standing next to the man who had earlier inquired about the sharpness of Del&#8217;s  trimming combs. Denzil then runs through the hanging bag which Del pushes into  Rodney while in pursuit, then suddenly the pair find themselves running past the  customer again. Where did he spring from? They should have left him behind ages  ago!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>As One Door Closes Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/As%20One%20Door%20Closes.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Did You Know?<\/h2>\n<div>The idea for the script was based on an article of a rare  butterfly John Sullivan had read about.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/as-one-door-closes\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>As One Door Closes Episode Review Brief: When Delboy&#8217;s hooky &#8216;louvry&#8217; door deal, financed with Denzil&#8217;s redundancy money, falls through, the boys attempt to repay him by catching a rare butterfly.
