Revealing mistake: When Del and Jumbo come into the Nags Head to discuss business, Del asks Mike for an Australian lager for Jumbo. Mike lists other Non-British lagers as a choice. When Jumbo says he'll have one of them, Mike produces a pint in less than 10 seconds, certainly no time to have poured a pint.
Trivia: They actually used Bournemouth beach to shoot all the beach scenes instead of Benidorm.
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.
Her maiden name was not 'Hollins'; that is the name of somebody "Auntie Rose" mentioned when the Trotters believed they were staying with their auntie, but it turned out she was completely unknown to them.
Chosen answer: An apparent long string of illnesses.
