1. How much money do Del and Rodney need to raise?

From Quiz "As One Door Closes"

Answer: £2000

Or £1992 to be precise. Del and Rodney are hoping to purchase 166 doors at £12 each to sell on to a building firm, but they don't have the money and the deal is only good for another day.

From Quiz "Sleeping Dogs Lie"

Answer: Horror

As the episode opens, Del is on the phone while Albert is playing around with the indoor TV aerial. Rodney is sitting at the table reading a newspaper. Albert: "You had to interfere, didn't you?" Rodney: "I was merely trying to get a picture for you." Albert: "I had a picture until you come in and started mucking around with the aerial." Rodney: "There was a ghost on the screen." Albert: "Course there was a ghost on the screen - I was watching a horror film."

From Quiz "It's Only Rock and Roll"

Answer: Kandy

As seen on the boxes in the opening scene, described as "Your talking friend". Del refers to them as near-perfect, leading to some questioning from Rodney as to why they aren't perfect. We later witness one of them speaking with a Bugs Bunny voice. Del: "Don't worry it." Rodney: "That's easy for you to say. I'm the one who has to go down the Arndale Centre and flog the things. Look at all the aggro I had last Christmas with them cricket bats. Each one personally autographed by Viv Richards." Del: "Each one was personally autographed by Viv Richards... It wasn't THE Viv Richards." Rodney: "No, it was Davy Richards' sister."

From Quiz "Hole in One"

Answer: Suntan lotion

It's winter time and Rodney was left alone at the auction, where he invested the Trotters' funds on suntan lotion, much to the annoyance of Del.

From Quiz "Strained Relations"

Answer: Funeral

The episode opens with Granddad's funeral. In reality, Lennard Pearce, who played Granddad, had died not long after suffering a heart attack. He had already begun filming the episode "Hole in One" when he passed away. John Sullivan added the funeral episode as a tribute.

From Quiz "May the Force Be With You"

Answer: Hat

Rodney is telling Trigger about breaking up with his girlfriend, Bernice, and how he told her that he is a free agent and refused to be tied down. Trigger: "She's into all that, is she?" Rodney uses the phrase "wherever I lay my hat, that's my home." Trigger: "You got a hat now then, have you, Dave?" Rodney: "No, No Trig. It's a saying, you know? Anyway..." Trigger: "I had a hat once." Rodney: "Yeah? So, I could see she was upset..." Trigger: "Someone nicked it at a party." Rodney: "Really? Well, she was crying, begging me not to leave her..." Trigger: "It had my return ticket in the brim. I had to walk all the way home from Plumstead." Rodney: "I'm gonna phone Del, see if he can come down for a drink."

From Quiz "Yesterday Never Comes"

Answer: Cabinet

The episode opens with Granddad and Rodney carrying the cabinet into Nelson Mandela House, with Del guiding the way. Del has picked up the cabinet and intends to sell it on. He believes it could be worth a nice sum of money, although it is riddled with woodworm and is falling apart.

From Quiz "Friday the 14th"

Answer: Boycie

Boycie has a weekend cottage in Cornwall. Del met him in Mario's fish restaurant and agreed to let Del have the cottage for free for a fishing weekend. Granddad: "How much rent is he charging you?" Del: "Nothing." Rodney: "He's letting you have it for free?" Del: "Yep. All for gratis." Rodney: "Now come on, Del, there's gotta be something behind this. Cos Boycie would scalp you if dandruff had a going rate." It transpires Del has agreed to supply the fish to Mario's and split the profits with Boycie.

Del is feeling down because he has been dumped. To make matters worse, his girlfriend owned a chain of laundrettes she had inherited from her father, and Del had been hoping to sell her some washing powder. Enrico, a faux-Spanish singer in the pub, is not happy about singing "Old Shep" but is persuaded to do so by Del.

From Quiz "No Greater Love"

Answer: Coat

Del has given Rodney a camel-hair coat, similar to the one he wears. The trouble is, the coat is far too big. Rodney doesn't want it, but Del guilts him into it. Del: "It is a gift, Rodney." Rodney: "You're right, Del. Once you've had it on for a while it really grows on you." Del: "You like it then?" Rodney: "Like it? I love it. I think it's really, really smart." Del: "I'm glad you like it. That's a score you owe me."

When Winston asks what colour it is, Del looks to Rodney, who says they are tabby. During the conversation, Del also discusses with Winston the time Del "borrowed" a speaker.

From Quiz "Ashes to Ashes"

Answer: Sacha Distel

Del is trying to sell the "genuine French" tights from his suitcase to a small number of ladies. He asks for 50p per pack, at which point the ladies walk away. After talking to Trigger, he tries again, and we hear him claim they are worn by Charles Aznavour's sister.

From Quiz "The Long Legs of the Law"

Answer: Mickey Pearce

The book was called "Body Language, The Lost Art". Rodney tells Granddad that the book is great because it tells you how to talk dirty to girls just by using your body, "and their brothers can't beat you up".

From Quiz "Cash and Curry"

Del has a new friend, an Indian businessman named Vimmal Malik. He's trying to impress Vimmal. So one night he phones Rodney and gets him to pick them up at a casino. When the irate Rodney arrives, Del points out, "It's more impressive if you get your driver to come round and pick you up." Rodney grumbles irritably, "When you phoned I was in the flat, with a friend." Del asks, "Well why didn't you bring him with you?" Rodney snarls, "It was not a 'he'." (Del's been drinking, so he doesn't get it straight away.)

From Quiz 'Miami Twice' - Pt 1

Answer: Damian's christening

Young Damian Derek Trotter is being baptised in the local church. Everyone but the new godparents Uncle Rodney and his estranged wife Cassandra are smiling. Rodney is still convinced Damian is a demon, just like the Damian in the film "The Omen", and his lack of enthusiasm is annoying Cassandra. (Come to think of it, baptism scenes are common in the 'Godfather' trilogy, so this might be a subtle joke of John Sullivan's since the mafia features in the part 2...)

From Quiz 'To Hull and Back' Part 1

Answer: Imogen

Unluckily for him however, as he's leaving the pub he sees her getting cosy with someone else in the corner.

From Quiz 'Miami Twice' - Pt 2 Quiz 1

Answer: Del puts his seat down too hard

Rodney says that once they arrive at Miami they should organise some transport and accommodation. Del says not to worry, he's already got Alex the travel agent to do so (two birds with one stone, actually: it's a tatty old camper-van). Rodney nods and promises to pay Alex via his credit card when they get back. But Del already has. Rodney exclaims "What, on ~my~ credit card?!" Del says "Well you were going to, weren't you?" Rodney sighs but decides to let it go. Then Del tries to recline his seat back...and it goes back too far! The angry woman behind him is not impressed...

From Quiz "A Touch Of Glass"

Answer: They play "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window"

Del, Rodney and Granddad have driven out of London to bid at an auction in the countryside. Delboy thinks he's hit the jackpot buying a bunch of musical cats made of china. But Rodney thinks it's sick, cat statues playing a song about a dog. Granddad's explanation is probably the most reasonable: "There was a balls-up at the factory."

From Quiz The Longest Night

Answer: A supermarket

Del, Rodney and their late granddad's brother Albert have gone shopping. Del has a date, so he is keen to get home soon. Little does he know he won't see home for some time!

From Quiz "The Chain Gang"

Answer: Otto

Del and Rodney and some friends have started frequenting a casino. The fact that one needs to be a member is rarely a problem. If anyone "forgets" their membership card, Otto says, "If you give me 20 quid, I'll let you in free." To anyone who gets in his bad books and/or doesn't have 20 pounds, he says, "I'm afraid I shall 'ave to ask you to leave! Where would you like to land?"

From Quiz "Wanted"

Answer: Blossom

It has not been a very good night for Rodney. He leaves the Nags Head after having no luck with the opposite sex. Then he meets a singing middle-aged woman sitting on a fence who "stinks of booze". She tells Rodney, "Just waiting for the bus, my lovely." But Rodney points out that they discontinued buses on this road almost 10 years ago. Then the laughing woman stumbles forward and Rodney catches her just in time. But then her manner turns really aggressive.
