* HypocriticalHumour: Del and Grandad slate Rodney for being a bad loser when he ends a game of TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} by upturning the board, when the reason he did this was because Del and Grandad were cheating. Rodney's reaction suggests that this isn't the first time they've done this.

* HypocriticalHumour: Del and Grandad slate Rodney for deviating from the rules of TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}, but think it's okay for them to cheat. Rodney's reaction suggests that this isn't the first time they've done this.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Psycho sneaks up behind Del, reaching out threateningly. Del, pouring drinks, turns and neatly places the glass in his hand.

Later that night, after an argument over a game of TabletopGame/Monopoly, Rodney opens the curtains of the front window to look at the weather and is confronted by a man on the other side staring through the window. Rodney is unnerved but the others are reluctant to believe him when he tells them. A man calls at the door and introduces himself as Chief Robinson, the head of security from the hospital from which the psycho escaped.

* RoguishPoacher: The whole purpose of the trip to Cornwall is so Del can poach some salmon from a local lake by bribing the gamekeeper to look the other way. The salmon will then be taken to London and sold to a restaurant owner, who's offered to pay £10 per fish caught.

* ZanyScheme: Downplayed; Salmon-poaching is Del's latest one, which is the whole reason for him going to Cornwall with Rodney and Grandad, but he's not shown to be doing any (thanks to the storm and the escaped psycho), and we never find out if it was a successful venture or not.

The Trotters are off to Boycie's cottage in Cornwall for the weekend to do some illegal salmon fishing. On the way, they encounter a police roadblock and are told that a convicted axe-murderer has escaped from a local psychiatric hospital and is believed to be at large in the area.

Reassured by his insistence that the escaped patient will be far from the cottage, Del feels confident to use the outside toilet. When leaving the toilet, he opens the door and accidentally knocks out the man whom Rodney had seen at the window earlier. Rodney and Grandad take him to the police station, but once they get there the police tell them that he's is actually the local gamekeeper. And Chief Robinson is actually in hospital after being attacked.

* TheReveal: When Rodney and Grandad take the man they believe to be the axe-murderer to the police station, they are told that he's actually the local gamekeeper. And Robinson, the hospital's head of security who they think they left at the cottage with Del, is in fact in hospital as a result of being attacked by the murderer, who stole his uniform.

* ShoutOut: When asked if he knows what a psycho is, Grandad replies: "[[Film/{{Psycho}} He's a bloke who dresses up as his mum]]".

* HypocriticalHumour: Del and Grandad slate Rodney for wanting to play Monopoly by the rules, but think it's okay for them to cheat.

-->'''Del''': So what are you telling me then? The psycho's upstairs having a kip?
-->'''Grandad''': Well he could be up there Del...
-->'''Del''': Well I shouldn't let it worry you, Grandad, because [[Literature/{{Goldilocks}} the three bears]] have probably eaten him by now!

* LightningReveal: Happens when the trio are staying in Boycie's cottage. Of course, the escaped serial killer only gets shown when Del turns around, so the whole thing also ends up being a case of a CassandraTruth.
