Papa Wolf: Del is not afraid to protect his family from any incoming jerkasses, as shown in "No Greater Love", "May the Force Be With You", and "Little Problems".
Promotion to Parent: Del was forced to become the father-figure to Rodney, after their mother died and their father callously abandoned them.
“Well Done Son” Guy: Even after her death, it's very clear that everything Del does is because he wants to make his Mum proud.
Heroic BSOD: Went through a fortnight-long one after Cassandra miscarried in the second episode of the 1996 Christmas trilogy, "Modern Men", until he and Del talked about it in the third chapter, "Time On Our Hands".
Identical Grandson: In the 2003 OFAH Christmas special and final episode "Sleepless in Peckham", Rodney discovers through an old photograph of the 1960 Jolly Boys' Outing that his biological father is not Reg Trotter, but rather gentleman thief Freddie "The Frog" Robdal.
Dreadful Musician: He certainly isn't the best pianist around, but Mike tolerates his piano playing on the grounds that it prevents people from noticing that the Nag's Head's jukebox has been broken for years.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Grandad. More blatant in his first few appearances, in which he was just filling the role that Grandad would have filled if not for Lennard Pearce dying, but he soon started to be portrayed as being more physically capable and less of a Cloud Cuckoolander than Grandad, along with his navy background playing a more important part in episodes.
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: In the 1988 OFAH Christmas special "Dates", her debut episode. After meeting Del, she gave up this profession after a Stripper/Cop Confusion at Albert's birthday party.
Closer to Earth: To much less of an extent than Raquel, though. She's definitely the more sensible one out of her and Rodney, but Rodney is himself generally more sensible compared to Del Boy, and Cassandra is both insanely career driven and prone to acting like a spoilt brat at times.
Running Gag: Whenever Del wants Rodney to do something for him, he always brings up what Joannie said to Del on her death bed. This was lampshaded in the fourth season OFAH episode "It's Only Rock and Roll" when Rodney tells Del about a row they had on whose turn it was to go and get the fish and chips, and Del claimed that Joannie said on her death bed, "Send Rodney for the fish."
Sympathetic Adulterer: Reg is neglectful, crude, abusive, and all too happy to sit at home, watch Joan bring home the bacon and then waste her meagre wages down the pub. Is it any wonder she jumps into bed with Freddie Robdal - debonair and attentive, if somewhat unreliable and immoral - the first chance she gets?
Miles Gloriosus: Del describes him as "a bit of a hard nut" with women and children, but not much bottle when it comes to other men.
The Other Darrin: Played by Peter Woodthorpe in the 1983 OFAH Christmas special "Thicker than Water", and by Shaun Dingwall in the Rock And Chips trilogy.
Cordon Bleugh Chef: Sid himself admits that his food is borderline inedible, and that most of his trade comes from a combination of low prices and a good location next to the Peckham market.
I Was Quite a Looker: As claimed to have been in the 2003 OFAH Christmas special "Sleepless in Peckham" when looking at himself in the photograph of the 1960 Jolly Boys' Outing.
Inspector Javert: He will nick for anything you've done! In fact he will nick you for anything you haven't done and he won't let a little thing like "Innocence" get in his way!
The Other Darrin: Played by Jim Broadbent in "May The Force Be With You", the 1985 OFAH Christmas special "To Hull and Back", and "The Class of '62", and by Calum MacNab in the first two episodes of the Rock And Chips trilogy.
