The ambulance whisks him away, with  both the jewellery and twelve-and-a-half grand still on his person.<\/div>\n<div>Despite being dead, Rodney spots Arnie collapsing and being whisked away  from another restaurant.<\/div>\n<div>They&#8217;ve been had, but no-one pulls a fast one quicker than the Trotters and  revenge is the only dish on the menu at Arnie&#8217;s next meal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/Chain.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/Chain4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/Chain3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/Chain1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Episode Observations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In Chain Gang, After Arnie has &#8220;spoken&#8221; to his wife and she tells him about Mr  Stavros, and arnie tells Del, Del says &#8220;well i reckon that Arnie should keep his  Lunch appointment with mr stavros,&#8221; yet how does Del know Arnie had a lunch  appointment?<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, Del and the Gang have to borrow money off Rodders to  afford the chains, Then Del and Boycie sit opposite Arny but to get the table  Del has to bribe the restuarant owner with money.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, Del tells Cassy that he remembers her Dad &#8211; One blue eye,  one brown.. Talks with a squint&#8230; Walks with a stutter!&#8221;, to which Cassy  replies &#8220;That&#8217;s him!&#8221; However, later when we see him this is clearly not the  case.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, when all the gang including Arnie leave the flat to go to  the restaurant to meet Mr Stavros, Rodney decides to stay at the flat and wait  for Cassandra to phone him. The next scene shows the gang all watching Arnie in  the restaurant waiting for Mr Stavros to arrive. Rodney is sat in the van with  Uncle Albert but Rodney decided to stay at the flat so there was no way of him  being there.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, Boycie puts up seven grand in the flat, yet outside the  curry house after he&#8217;s been punched this has grown to &#8216;seven and a half grand in  unlaundered money&#8217; according to Del.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, when Rodney and Albert are in the van observing Del and  Boycie in the Restaurant, a women walks by the shop in the background. On the  next camera shot in the Restaurant looking out the women is nowhere to be  scene.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, When Del is speaking to Arnie in the casino, they come to  an agreement about meeting in the car park to discuss the chains, Arnie then  hands Del his mineral water, and instead of Del drinking out of his own he  drinks out of Arnies.<\/li>\n<li>In Chain Gang, You can quite easily see AND hear Rodney say:&#8221;We&#8217;ve got  him, we&#8217;ve *******\u00a0 got him&#8221;.This was when Albert suggested using the redial  button on the mobile to get Arny. Check it out, I was quite shocked this had got  through the BBC and the BBFC for a PG certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Chain Gang Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Chain%20Gang.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Chain Gang Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/real\/chaingang.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/real\/chaingang%20(1).jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"chaingang\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/real\/chaingang%20(2).jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"chain gang\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/div>\n<div>This was taken on Grove Road , Ealing, on the junction of Oxford Road.  Unfortunately there were roadworks outside when this shot was taken. The third  photo shows the restaurant on the right, and further ahead the Kings Arms pub  that Rodney speeds towards when they begin their chance. The irony of that scene  is that the road they are heading down is a dead end, though I&#8217;m not entirely  sure if it was back at the time it was filmed.<\/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\/chain-gang\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Chain Gang Episode Review Brief: Faced with the opportunity of buying 250 18 carat gold chains from retired jeweller, Arnie, Del can&#8217;t resist.
