This is Peckham, which is only 3 miles from Central London, and the  nearest field is 10 miles away. Surely there wouldnt be a tractor factory in the  middle of South London.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, when uncle Albert goes to pore himself a drink,  Raquel walks in and uncle says he his looking for his slippers&#8230; well the drink  he pours changes when the cameras look back at the drink&#8230; the amount goes from  a little bit to half a glass.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, On the back of the video case, there are two  pictures, the top one is from Fatal Extraction and on the back of Fatal  Extraction there is a picture from Rodney Come Home<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, When Cassandra throws Rodney out telling him to find  one of these many women who would want him, it shows him storming to the garage.  He comes flying out on his bicycle but leaves the well illuminated garage wide  open to thieves!<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, Del Boy has aged quite quickly since The Jolly Boys  Outing 1 year before. In just 1 year his sideburns, and his hair at the front  has gone grey and his face looks a lot older than it did in The Jolly Boys  Outing, when he had not one grey hair on his head and his face looked like a  child&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney come home, there is a part were del boy has told albert to look  horrified with rodney for going to the flicks with a girl called Tanya. Albert  keeps mistiming his horrified expresions, and if you look closely you can see  Del boy unable to keep a straight face, even when he`s telling Albert off.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, When Albert is about to pour a brandy on the sly, he  is stopped having poured only a tiny drop when Raquel walks in and he claims  that he&#8217;s looking for his slippers. On the next shot of the table the glass is  nearly two thirds full, a lot more than he actually poured.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, Del who comes storming in , when the door slams shut  the dividing &#8216;wall&#8217; between the entrance hall and the kitchen nearly falls over!  A proper wall surely wouldn&#8217;t do that!<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, When Albert helps himself to Del&#8217;s brandy, he is  startled by Raquel after pouring just a tiny drop, and starts pretending he is  looking for his slippers. When Raquel enters the room, the brandy glass is  suddenly half full!<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, At the beginning of this episode, Del and uncle  Albert are arguing on the escalator in a shopping centre, but as they come into  view neither of them seem to be talking at all as their lips aren&#8217;t moving.<\/li>\n<li>In Rodney Come Home, When Rodney leaves his flat after having quarrelled  with Cassandra, he has a bottle of ketchup in his bag. Outside his garage he  throws the bag onto the ground with such force that the bottle would normally  have been smashed. But when he arrives at Del&#8217;s flat, he gets it out of the bag  unbroken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Rodney Come Home Script<\/h2>\n<div>The script will be downloadable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/files\/Rodney%20Come%20Home.txt\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/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\/rodney-come-home\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Rodney Come Home Episode Review Brief: Rodney has to sleep on the settee because Raquel hasn&#8217;t yet agreed to &#8216;stamp Del&#8217;s card&#8217;.
