Uncle Albert has been mugged and Del is determined to bring the perpetrators to justice. But is Uncle Albert telling all he knows...?

Further details

To stave of totally skintness, Del employs Rodders as TITCO's new Director of Commercial Development. Del meanwhile is arranging to buy their flat in Nelson Mandela House.

Uncle Albert is going to the Over-Sixties Club on the estate and is chatting up a lady called Dora Lane. One night, he arrives at the flat, bruised and shaken. He tells Del and Rodney he's been mugged. Despite being home, something is not right.
