This group do a tribute to Robson and Jerome.
Why?
Well Boycie, I hope you won't take offence and what I'm about to say, but me and Rodney think you've murdered Marlene and buried her in the garden.
How dare you! Murdered my wife and buried her in the garden? I have never been so insulted in my life. You know how much I've spent on that garden! You think I'm going to dig a hole in it?
(talking about his invention of a backscratcher made from chopsticks) Raquel, can you pass a message onto Del Boy?
OK.
Tell him there's been a bit of a setback. My paraffin heater melted the chopsticks. I might have to go to a Chinese shop. He'll understand.
[Raquel looks completely bemused.]
Why do they do that?
It's like I've told you, Cassandra. Women are from Venus, men are from Peckham!
[Rodney shows Cassandra the picture of the 1960 Jolly Boys Outing.]
There's you. (realisation hits her)
Yeah there's me. July 1960. Before I was born.
Who is it?
He's my father.
But your father...
My real father, Cass. My biological old man.
Who is he?
His name was Freddie Robdal. He was a mate of my dad's. My mum was having a rough time with the old man. He was very handy, if you know what I mean, with women. Not much cop when it came to men, but a hard nut with women and kids. Anyway, one day, my dad brought Freddie home, and him and my mum got on like a house on fire. They had the same taste in music and... well, everything.
And what was he, this Freddie Robdal?
He was a gentleman safe-cracker. They called him "The Raffles of Peckham". People have mentioned him before and we sounded similar. He was a connoisseur of fine wines, a gourmet, a real snappy dresser, and big-time charmer.
So, how are you similar?
We're about the same height.
And you've known all these years?
No. Well...at least, not when Rodney was a baby. But...when you get to 20, and your 6-year-old brother is taller than you, it makes you think, don't it? I never knew really who he was. As a youngster, I was told to call him "Uncle Fred". And then a few years back, Uncle Albert got drunk at an old folks' do... It was a wet corset contest. Anyway, he told me all about Freddie and my mum. I don't know if you noticed, but there are no photographs of my mum in this house, except for a couple of close-ups.
Well, yeah. But, I assumed your dad had taken them when he left.
No. He only used to take money and things that he could sell. Then Uncle Albert told me...it was my Aunt Reenie who sorted it all after Mum's funeral. You see every picture of Mum included Freddie Robdal, and my Aunt Reenie knew that as Rodney got older, people would start to see the stimularities, so she burnt them.
Do you think Rodney knows?
(when Rodney asks if he's anything like his father, Freddie the Frog) Freddie the Frog was a professional burglar. He was disloyal to his friends. He was a womaniser, a home-breaker, a con-man, a thief, a liar, and a cheat... So no Rodney, you're nothing like him.
[Last lines of the series]
Can I ask you a question, Rodders?
Fire away.
Where did that runway come from?
I don't fancy making that film now.
You know what, Rodders? That's a bloody good idea! (both Trotter Brothers laugh)
I want you to think of me as a mentor, Alicia. It's the closest thing we have to an old boy's network in this town. Women helping women, okay? When I was starting out I got one great piece of advice: men can be lazy, women can't... and I think that goes double for you. Not only are you coming back to the workplace fairly late but you have some very prominent baggage. [Points to a picture of her and Hillary Clinton] But, hey, if she can do it so can you.
I know we should be at each other's throats, but I just want to say I really respect what you're doing here. Raising a family and then jumping right back into this. My mom, she's thinking of doing the same thing.
Great.
I'm sure it will be challenging, but at the end of the day, what have you really done? Saved a corporation a few billion dollars?
You want to trade?
I would, but I guess they have other plans, so...
Last time I was in court was 13 years ago.
Wow, I was 12.
I don't know how you do it, Alicia. I'd be huddled up in a ball somewhere.
