Del gets a painting and decorating job in the kitchen of a local Chinese takeaway.
Another example of the successful formula that served the series well. Del strikes up a money-making deal, ropes Rodney and Granddad into it and in the end it goes comically pear-shaped.
We have plenty of well written banter between the central three characters along with Trigger. Leonard Pearce delivers some simple lines fantastically well and David Jason's explanation of how stealing paint from British Rail benefits the UK economy is a hilarious piece of dialogue.
I don't think it's as consistently funny as some other episodes, but of course comedy is a matter of taste. There is a fair bit of time committed to details about the Trotter family history, but this is quite important to the understanding of their characters and the overall franchise continuity.
