Albert, worried for Del&#8217;s health tells Elsie to say his Mum has  contacted her asking him to go the doctor.<\/div>\n<div>When Marlene falls pregnant, just as Elsie foresaw, Del takes heed and is  prescribed with irritable bowl syndrome.

Strange really.<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, The closing credits of &#8220;Sickness and Wealth&#8221;  include the names Patrick Murray and Steven Woodcock, but neither of these  actors actually appear in the episode.<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, have you evernoticed on the door to the kitchen  in this episode there is a poster with EL DEL written on it?<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, has any one noticed that Dr Meadows is one of the  officers out of &#8220;Titanic&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, when Del is in hospital, when Rodney, Cassandra  and Alburt leave, Cass says: &#8220;Nice to have MET you Del&#8221; but in &#8216;The Chain Gang&#8217;  Rodney introduces her to Del!<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, just before Marlean told everyone she was  pregnant. She says &#8220;I&#8217;m not talking about Del&#8217;s illness.&#8221; How could she know the  ghost said anything about Del&#8217;s illness? She wasnt there. Nor was Boycie.<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, Boycie&#8217;s first name, contrary to popular belief on  various websites, is NOT Aubrey. Two things back this up: When the ghost asks to  speak to &#8220;Aubrey&#8221;, Del nor Trigger know who it is, until Boycie says it is his  middle name and adds later that his father was the only one who called him  Aubrey. This is also backed up by &#8220;Class of &#8217;62&#8221; as it proves that Del, Denzil  &amp; Trigger all went to school with Boycie. Surely they would know his first  name in that instance, as the teachers can&#8217;t also have called him Boycie?<\/li>\n<li>In Sickness and Wealth, When Del calls the nurse back to ask about his  application for a bed bath, there is no-one in the background, but seconds  later, as she walks away, Robbie Meadows is leaning up against a bed as if he&#8217;s  been there for ages. There&#8217;s no way he would have had time to get there in  between the two shots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Sickness and Wealth Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Sickness%20And%20Wealth.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Sickness and Wealth &#8211; DVD Bonus<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>(9 minutes of unseen footage on DVD version only)<\/p>\n<p>This is a really unusual situation, normally the crew cut out scenes until the show fits into the 50 minutes for each episode, in this case the early cut version which was around an hour was used for the DVD, a mistake, but one that all fans are very glad of, this results in some much longer scenes with Elsie Partridge and a few other cut scenes left in. In all around 9 minutes was preserved.<\/p>\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\/sickness-and-wealth\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Sickness and Wealth Episode Reviews Brief: While excruciating stomach cramps and a constant diet of health salts might drive some people to visit the doctor, not our Del!
