* MagnificentBastard: "Senior Citizen Caine": [[CoolOldGuy Cecil Caine]] is an elderly, flamboyant yet genial businessman and a legend within the community for dealing and grafting himself a fortune and far more shrewd than he appears. Freed of his last responsibility and knowing his lazy offsprings, Johnny and Sonia, plan to institutionalize him to steal everything and that the authorities are closing in, Cecil lets nothing interfere with his retirement. Transferring his businesses but none of his money to his children so they'll have to actually work or face bankruptcy, an ambushed Cecil manages to improvise an escape with all the cash on the premises and goes to ground. Banking on Johnny breaking Arthur, Cecil purposely lets him in and hires Terry. Gathering the rest of his hidden funds Cecil switches them with a decoy, then waits for Johnny and his goons to arrive, the fight spurring the authorities into action. Using the confusion to escape to his lover and real money, Cecil flees London leaving his children to explain the financial irregularities.

* HilariousInHindsight: Property conman Freddie Fenton (Creator/DerekJacobi) evades Terry on a London highstreet by slipping back into the safety of his offices. Terry is left on the pavement yelling 'Fenton! Fenton!' through the locked door. This scene now conjures up images of the "Fenton! Fenton!" video of a dog named Fenton chasing a herd of deer across a country road while his owner runs after him shouting his name, which went viral in 2012.
