Then when there leaving the  restaurant Rodney says he will meet her in bed in about half and hour.<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, I get the feeling that Del likes selling things  that have 36 different national anthems played on them. In Chance of a lunchtime  he&#8217;s selling Door bells which play 36 different national anthems and in To Hull  and back you see Del selling watches which have 36 national anthems played on  them.<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, Alan rings the flat looking for Rodney BUT this  was after Cass had told him she and Rodney had got back together so why does he  ring Dels flat when he would have presumed Rodney was at his own flat?<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, While Del is pouring the tea in the morning  before taking the tray into the bedroom to Raquel, the Radio 1 breakfast show  with Simon Mayo is clearly heard in the background. In less than two minutes,  the show did the weather report, the Identik-Hit Quiz and the Travel News, when  in reality, the weather was done at five past the hour, the Identik-Hit at  quarter past (in the eight o&#8217;clock hour) and the travel at twenty past. Records  were always played in between.<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, when Del runs out into the hallway to call  Albert and Rodney when he hears that Raquel is progress. He runs to the door  that I presume is the sitting room door to call Albert who is in Granddads room  BUT all that&#8217;s there is a wall which is obviously not there in past episodes  (haunting scene of &#8220;Ashes to Ashes&#8221; etc.).<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, Del takes a big bite out of the hot-dog and  then proceeds to hand an untouched one back to mike.<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, when Del is in bed with Raquel, the extremely  tacky purple headboard has a large golden heart within its design, whereas in  &#8220;Modern Man&#8221; the heart was not incorporated within the design.<\/li>\n<li>In Chance of a Lunchtime, when Del answers the phone to Alan right after  Cassandra spotted Rodney with his &#8216;arms around Trudy&#8217; with &#8216;Hello, Trotter&#8217;s  International Traders&#8217;, not &#8220;Trotter&#8217;s Independent Traders&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Chance of a Lunchtime Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Chance%20Of%20A%20Lunchtime.txt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(Chance Of A Lunchtime)<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><strong>Chance of a Lunchtime Location<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/images\/real\/nags%20head%20in%20chance%20of%20a%20lunchtime.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/div>\n<div>This is used as the Nags Head in Chance of a Lunchtime.<\/div>\n<div>It can be loacted  at 166 West Street, Bedminster, Bristol.<\/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\/chance-of-a-lunchtime\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Chance of a Lunchtime Episode Review Brief: Raquel has an audition for a play and Del has volunteered to help her rehearse.
