Series 6 - The Jolly Boys' Outing

It's the Nags Head's annual jamboree down to Margate and the Trotters head for the seaside. But with Rodney getting arrested and the coach blowing up the trip is hardly a bundle of laughs...

Further details

Cassandra organises a dinner party, inviting her 'yuppie' boss and his wife in the hope of getting a promotion. Del and Uncle Albert soon arrive to put their feet firmly in their mouths and ruin the chances of that.

Despite it being Rodney and Cassandra's first wedding anniversary, Rodders agrees to go on the annual Jolly Boys' Outing to Margate.

The outing goes as well as can be expected considering the coach driver passes out, Rodney gets arrested, and the radio bought from Trotters Independent Traders blows up their transport.

Forced to stay the night by this twist of fate, Del encounters his lost love Raquel, who is now working as a magician's assistant in an iffy nightclub.

As one Trotter rekindles his love life, the other returns to find Cassandra entertaining her boss at home. Punching first, and asking questions letter, Rodney blows it. Again.

Notes

The special closing titles theme for this episode was written and performed by Chas & Dave.
