The
Class of '62 saw the return of Slater,
oily played by Jim Broadbent, one of the men considered
for the part of Del back in 1981. Slater has been languishing
in jail since To Hull and Back and it looks like he's
turned over a new leaf. A classic ensemble episode,
Trigger
gets the best line. Misty eyed while recalling their
school football team and talks about camaraderie. 'Was
that the Italian boy?' wonders Trig.
Rodney's
problems and Raquel's pregnancy are knocked down Del's
worry list in He
Ain't Heavy He's My Uncle when Albert
goes missing, following a mugging. Del feels responsible
for Albert's disappearance after his attempt at motivating
him goes terribly wrong.
Now
Del's Hooky
Street goods rarely have quite the positive effect
that his latest line has in Three
Men, a Woman and a Baby. Yet his rat-tail wigs
prove just the ticket for rekindling Rodney and Cassandra's
love life, albeit in not quite the fashion they were
designed.
In
great contrast to how it began, the series ended on
a joyous note, well maybe not for Rodney who saw the
coming of the evil one, following the birth of Raquel
and Del's son Damian.
But
it's Del's moving monologue that ends the episode and
the series. We know that Damian is going to be a chip
off the old block if Del has anything to do with it
when Del tells him: "This time next year we'll
be millionaires."
