Episode Observations
- In The Frogs Legacy, When Del offers Mr Jahan a drink. Mr Jahan replies by insisting on a non- alcoholic because of his religion presumely a Muslim. Later in the scene Mr Jahan is seen drinking beer ( a alcoholic drink ). The drink brought by Del.
- In The Frogs Legacy, when Renee approaches Boycie, he says “Who the bloody hell is this woman?”, but later on he says he remembers her from years back.
- In The Frogs Legacy, At Triggers niece’s wedding, you can see that Mike is standing with a tea towel drying glasses. Surely as he has been asked a guest he wouldn’t be doing the serving or washing up!
- In The Frogs Legacy, In the frogs legacy they are talking to mike trying to get him to by a computer that dont work. The leaflet they are holding doesn’t have any writing on it.
- In The Frogs Legacy, when Del asks Mr Jahan to take a seat to discuss the computer, look carefully at Del’s cigar. You will notice David Jason accidentally drop some ash on to his coat. Watch the actor playing Mr Jahan gently smile when this happens.
- In The Frogs Legacy, when Del and Rodney are at the bar trying to sell a computer to Mike, Del is telling Mike that it ‘processes all your data’ while reading from the back of the leaflet he is holding, but when the camera moves you clearly see the leaflet is blank.
- In The Frogs Legacy, When Boycie arrives in the market he says to Del and Trigger “Another fine day in Gotham City”. Maybe he knew Del and Rodders led a secret double life as No VATman and the Boy Plonker (as revealed in Heroes & Villians)!
- In The Frogs Legacy, when they walk through the graveyard near the end of the episode, notice that the angle of the sun casts a shadow in the total opposite direction to the scene when Rodney joins Del on the beach. Clearly the shots show the sun in totally different areas of the sky.
- In The Frogs Legacy, Albert is meant to be smoking a pipe while in the van, just before Del reveals the whereabouts of the lost bullion, but the pipe doesn’t seem to be there. There’s no smoke in the van, only on the close-ups of Rodney show smoke.One reason may be Buster Merryfield doesn’t smoke in real life.
- In The Frogs Legacy, While Del and Mr Jahan chat in the pub about a job for Rodney, one scene he has a glass then it disappears and then reappears again.
