She couldn't understand the Cockney accents. She only understands Rodders when he spoke slowly.

It's a good thing uncle Albert speaks a bit of German...

In the scene at Rodney's wedding afters there's a black couple sitting down. A few seconds later Del leaves so Mike can lock up. The couple must be locked in.

This may have been posted but no harm in reiterating the point.  In Chain Gang after Arnie and the rest go off to the restaurant to meet Stavros Rodney stays behind in the flat and waits for Cassandra to phone from Guernsey. The next scene shows Rodney in the van with Uncle Albert outside the restaurant.

Also were they not a bit suspicious that his wife rings the phone in the flat? How did she have the phone number. Another thing why would the doctor ring the flat?  If Arnie had died he would hardly be able to tell the doc to ring Del.  Sullivan robbed a living.

Plot holes all over the shop. I bet if he was still alive he wouldn't be able to look himself in the mirror.

Most great Songwriters, Authors, Filmmakers, Scriptwriters have assistants who's job is to tell them ; that tune has been done before, you're re-writing something you did before there, that plot/scene doesn't make sense etc. It sounds very much like Johnnyboy didn't have one. The most disgraceful behaviour since the Peckham pouncer was on the loose.

Must look out for that.

In the same episode, Del is introduced to Casandra down the 111 Club. It turns out that Del knows her Dad Alan from growing up on the estate. The description Del gives of Alan is nothing compared to Alan we see later in the show. “Small guy, squinty eye and walks with a limp” to which Cassandra agrees.

Also in chain gang:

Why bother ringing the flat to tell them Arnie had died? They had already escaped with the gold and money. If anything, not telling them would have made the lads waste their time for months looking around hospitals. Also  a doctor who somehow rings the flat (suspicious) might have made them think it was a scam.

In the class of 62, Mike didn't know who Slayter was but in 'to Hull and Back' he was in the pub with uniformed police.

In the episode with the curry scam with the statue with the two Indian lads I found a major plot hole.

At the start of the episode Mr. Rahm and his thug confronts Mr. Vimmel outside the one - eleven club.  Del interrupts and Mr rahm says it does not convcern him.  Del not to be  frightened knees yer man in the nuts allowing Rodney and Vimmel to escape.  Del is left behind and goes to an Indian restaurant with Mr Rahm.  During the meal Rahm brings up the statue quarrel with Vimmel.  HE says he wants his staue back and is willing to pay 4000 quid for it. Del says to him why doesn't he just buy it off him.  Rahm relies he is of the high caste and Vimmel is of the low caste and he cannot communicate with him in any way. 

If that was the case what was he doing confronting him outside the casino!

Sullivan robbed a living!

I never understood the 50pence bet. Del gives Rodney a fifty pound note to buy the bet.

When Rodney said the bet was for 50, Del presumed it was 50 pounds only to then realise when Rodney paid up how much of a mickey-mouse scale Rodney and co were betting on. Even Rodney admitted as much when he said 'oh, I bet I know what you thought...'

Was a bit strange though for grown men to be betting that sort of small amount of money.
