To distract himself he listens to salty old sea  dog Albert&#8217;s stories of his exploits in the Navy.<\/div>\n<div>As the wake comes to an end, it appears that Jean and Stan have neglected  to take Albert home with them to North London, so Del decides to let him stay  the night. The next day it appears that Jean and Stan have gone for good and  want nothing to do with Albert. Despite feeling sorry for the old man, Del is  reluctant to let him stay and ships Albert off to the Seaman&#8217;s Mission.<\/div>\n<div>It&#8217;s not long before Albert returns to the flat, as the Seaman&#8217;s mission  has been razed to the ground. So Del reluctantly lets the old boy move in, and a  new era begins for the Trotters.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/strained.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/straine5.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/straine2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/straine4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Episode Observations<\/h2>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>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) &#8211; however, nearly four  years later in &#8216;Dates&#8217; when Uncle Albert brings out his black box which contains  some pieces of his life history &#8211; it looks pretty weighty to say the least. Dell  must have been strong to hurl that accross the room!!-it also dosn&#8217;t make a loud  crash when the bag hits the floor, which I am sure it would!.<\/li>\n<li>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  &#8216;Homesick&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>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 &#8216;Time On Our Hands&#8217;  when Mickey and Denzil are carrying the furniture out of the flat you can see  the wall begins where the door frame ends.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>In Strained Relations, the very first scene shows flowers from Del and  Rodney. Note the typical Trotter spelling of the word thoughts &#8211; &#8220;always in our  foughts&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>In Strained Relations, &#8216;Lee Nicholson&#8217; comments on that Del turns on the  TV twice but he doesn&#8217;t, Del turns on the two different TVs.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>In Strained Relations, also while Del is turning the TV on, on\u00a0 two  occasions clearly the TV&#8217;s have been moved from there original places, also the  drinks are moved to a different area, taking into account the different camera  angles.<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;s quite likely the TV crew  became peckish after humping the TV around to different positions in the room &#8212;  See previous observations).<\/li>\n<li>In Strained Relations, Rodney wears the same shirt as he did 3\u00bd years ago  in &#8220;Big Brother&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>In Strained Relations, During the wake that Del boy was sitting thinking  near to the door leading to the bedrooms, the camera couldn&#8217;t move out of view  quick enough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Strained Relations Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Strained%20Relations.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Did You Know?<\/h2>\n<p>This episode was added at the last minute, due to Lennards death, a secound  episode was added Happy Returns during his hospital  illness, there fore leaving the producers with 8 instead of the standard 6  episodes in the series.<\/p>\n<p>From Prussia with\u00a0Love was moved to Series 5  leaving 7\u00a0episodes in series 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/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\/strained-relations\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Strained Relations Episode Review Brief: After Granddad&#8217;s funeral, Delboy &amp; Rodney are surprised to find that his brother, Uncle Albert, has moved in with them &#8211; bringing his nautical nightmares.
