It&#8217;s not long before Del discovers that Jason&#8217;s  mother, June, is an old flame who he last saw around nineteen years ago.<\/div>\n<div>While Del and June rekindle their romance, Rodders is dating a lovely girl  from the newsagent called Debby &#8211; a fact that is seriously curtailing his dirty  magazine fetish. It soon transpires that Debby is June&#8217;s daughter, and it&#8217;s  almost her 19th birthday.<\/div>\n<div>Del and Rodney soon put two and two together, and decide that Debby may  well be Del&#8217;s daughter. It gets worse when Rodney realises that he has fallen  for a girl who could be his niece.<\/div>\n<div>Everything comes to a head when Del finally confronts June to find out  whether Debby is his daughter or not. It turns out that Debby was actually  fathered by his friend Albie Littlewood, who tragically died in a cycling  accident whilst he was seeing June behind Del&#8217;s back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/happy.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/happy3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/happy4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/happy8.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Episode Observations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In Happy Returns, Del and Junie are in the nags why does Del get a round in  and take back to the bar, two half full drinks?<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, When Rodney thinks Del is coming onto Debbie why does  he wait till he get into there flat to say &#8220;whats your game Del&#8221; surley he would  be shouting all the way home?<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, When Del first gives the boy 50p, the boy says thankyou  etc. then when Del gives him the 2nd 50p, you can tell that it is the same shot  but just a different camera angle as the 1st 50p,look at the dubbing<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, in the last scene, Rodney says &#8220;we only live 50 yards  across the estate&#8221; yet at the begining of the episode you see Del getting into  the van. why drive 50 yards you lazy git!<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, when Del and Rodney are walking back to the van they  stop June&#8217;s son Jason running across the, but in a later scene Jason is sitting  on the pavement and he tells Del that his mum said he mustn&#8217;t cross the  road.<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, Del enters June&#8217;s flat, and closes the door behind him,  to talk about Debbie being his kid, when June goes to turn on the lights the  door magicly swings opens and Del closes it again.<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, if you look closely, you can see that the set used for  Junie&#8217;s front room is the same as the one used for Del&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>In Happy Returns, June&#8217;s son, Jason, is also the lad who played Heather&#8217;s  son Darren in Diamonds are for Heather.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Happy Returns Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Happy%20Returns.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Did You Know?<\/h2>\n<p>June&#8217;s flat is quite clearly a re-dressing of Del and Rodney&#8217;s flat. It is  excusable, though &#8211; on an estate of flats, it&#8217;s quite fesable that the layout of  each flat would be almost identical.<\/p>\n<p>Leonard Pearce didn&#8217;t appear in this episode as he was in hospital at the  time and the cast and crew had to begin filming without him. Shortly after,  someone arrived on the set to inform them that Leonard Pearce had sadly passed  away.<\/p>\n<p>An extremely difficult episdoe to right without one of the main characters,  yet it won the teams first BAFTA award.<\/p>\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\/happy-returns\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Happy Returns Episode Review Brief: Rodney&#8217;s in love with Debbie from the newsagents.
