Strangers on the Shore...!

Del Boy Trotter is back on his uppers it's like old times, as he's years of experience at being brassic.

In desperation he's scraping the bottom of barrel, by doing driving jobs for Boycie and Marlene.

Uncle Albert, a merchant navy old sea dogs French reunion, Denzil's new truck, cheap booze, and unexpected consequences = deja vue for the Trotter clan, Denzil and Trigger.

Uncle Albert was synonymous with nautical yarns, often dismissed as porkies but seeing is another thing, just how far afield did this old sea dog shake his leg?

This is a great episode of this perennial classic comedy, with the old flat at Nelson Mandela House, now home from home for the extended Trotter clan, as Rodney and Cassandra are now in residence.

It was one thing for Del and Raquel to have a nipper, but he is growing into Rodney's worst predictions, and exactly who does he take after?

Boycie is as thoroughly obnoxious as ever, that one really has to wonder what Marlene ever saw in him, his business acumen is showing as much promise ever.

Such that he has no room to joke or crow over the Trotters "Business Fiascos".

GARY , Gary, gary, gary ,Gary, gary ..... GARY !!!. 19 years later still can say gary any other way. Brilliantly funny episode and the best of the 3 episode early 2000s run.

Funny from start to finish, it's my favorite episode of the whole series. Underrated.
