It's Only Rock and Roll - S4-E4
Factual error: When Del is running out of the pub, him and one other are carrying guitar amp heads and are flinging them about with ease. Heads weigh around 20-30 kg each and would be extremely hard to fling around in such a way as they are. (00:17:00)
Modern Men - S8-E2
Mike: Well?
Trigger: Well what?
Mike: What are they naming the baby?
Trigger: If it's a girl, they're calling her Sigourney, after an actress. And if it's a boy, they're calling him Rodney, after Dave.
Trivia: The story behind why Trigger calls Rodney Dave is that apparently Roger Lloyd Pack kept getting names mixed up during rehearsals early on in the show's history. "Dave" came from David Jason when he was actually with Nicholas Lyndhurst [Rodney]. It stuck and quickly became part of the show's immense appeal.
Question: What exactly did Del and Rodney's mother die of?
Answer: Joan Mavis Trotter (Nee Hollins) was an unseen character in Only Fools And Horses, having died in 1964, 17 years before the series began. She died of an alcohol related illness due to both her sham marriage to Reg Trotter and being hit hard by the death of her secret lover Freddie "The Frog" Robdal.
Answer: Short of breath.
