- Synopsis:
Third series of John Sullivan's popular comedy, featuring the wheeling and dealing of Del (David Jason) and Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) on the streets of Peckham.
1. Homesick
Lugging the shopping up those 12 flights of stairs is proving too much for Grandad (Lennard Pearce). So the doctor recommends a new council bungalow for the Trotter dynasty. Over to Rodney, the new chairman of the housing committee...
2. Healthy CompetitionRodney's decided to go it alone and leave Peckham's own multinational conglomerate - Trotters' Independent Trading. By the end of the week he's already cornered the market in used lawn mower engines and with Mickey Pearce (Patrick Murray) as his Financial Director, the sky's the limit...
3. Friday the 14th
Del, Rodney and Grandad are Cornwall-bound to Boycie's cottage and a spot of salmon poaching. Should be a doddle of a weekend's jolly, if you leave out the bit about the mad-axe-salmon-fisherman-killer who's just escaped from the local institute, that is...

A ripple of panic runs through the Nag's Head. Del's old school enemy Slater (Jim Broadbent) is back in town, hell bent on revenge and brandishing his police badge...

7. Who's a Pretty Boy?
Move over Leonardo! The Trotter decorating business is on the roll again. This time they're just doing a favour for Denzil (Paul Barber). Their instructions are simple enough: don't eat the fruit or turn on the TV and stay out of the kitchen...so what's happened to Busby, the canary?
8. Thicker Than Water
'Tis certainly the season to be jolly and it's Grand Marnier and grapefruit all round when Del and Rodney's dad comes back to the fold after 18 years. Until he begins to cast doubt on Del's filial integrity, that is...- Actors:
