Summary The Trotters have fallen on hard times, largely because of to Rodney's £500 investment in suntan lotion during one of the worst winters ever. To make things worse, the deep-fat fryer they sold to Mike, landlord of The Nag's Head, is on the blink and the tension brings Del and Rodney to boiling point. Throughout all this trouble, Uncle Albert, whom Rodders blames for their bad luck, keeps telling them that something will turn up. As Albert leaves the pub, he accidentally falls through an open cellar door, and the Trotters quickly come up with a way to get some cash: by suing the pub for damages. Albert's accident claim finally makes it to court, but to his nephews' shock, it appears that he has already sought 15 identical damage claims going back to 1944. Their case gets chucked out of court, and Albert admits that he was using some of the tricks he learned in parachute training to try to help Del and Rodney pay for Grandad's headstone.
