Name:   Derek "Del Boy" Trotter
  Played By:   David Jason
  DOB:   12.07.1948
  Place:   Deptford

Derek Trotter, or Del Boy, is a loveable Cockney rogue and wheeler dealer. He spent the 1980s and early 1990s slaving away in the Peckham badlands with his market stall creaking under the weight of dodgy gear.

However his luck changed in 1996 when an antique watch hidden in his garage made him an overnight millionaire. He lived the high life for 5 years before losing it all in 2001 due to a stock market crash.  

Famous Quotes:

Lovely Jubbly

Rodney, you plonker
This time next year we'll be millionaires!
And all manner of Cockney rhyming slang.

  Name:   Rodney
  Played By:   Nicholas Lyndhurst
  DOB:   26.02.1960
  Place:   Peckham
Rodders, as he is affectionately known by his big brother, has stuck by Del through thick and thin. After leaving school with two GCEs in Art and Maths, he was expelled from Art College for dabbling with the dreaded weed.

Without much going for him Rodney managed to rise to the heady heights of Financial Director of Trotters Independent Traders. Against all odds Rodney found a supportive partner in Cassandra and made an honest woman of her in 1989. These days the only thing that troubles Rodney is his nephew Damien - about whom he has recurring nightmares.

Famous Quotes:

Oh leave off Grandad

  Name:   Uncle Albert
  Played By:   Buster Merryfield
  DOB:   19.11.1920
  Place:   Wapping
Uncle Albert joined the Royal Navy at 17 and then spent the rest of his life recounting tales from the war. He won seven medals - although this was largely due to the fact that he had an extraordinarily unfortunate time serving on seven ships that were sunk over a period of 4 years.

After the war Albert joined the Merchant Navy and then took up the hobby of falling down pub cellars throughout the South East.

Famous Quotes:

During the war...
You alright son?
No, I'm the only one in our family who ever went to sea. I tell a lie. My Grandmother's brother was safety officer on the Titanic.

  Name:   Grandad
  Played By:   Lennard Pearce
  DOB:   09.07.1909
  Place:   Peckham Rye
Despite giving off the aura of not being the smartest card in the deck, Grandad was more crafty than he let on - wangling himself a bungelow by feigning illness being one of his many talents.

Given the task of minding the Trotter flat from the comfort of his much loved armchair Grandad had an easy life. However his formative years were less sedate as he made a nice little earner during the Spanish Civil War at gun running. Grandad was also responsible for the spectacular (and noisy) failure of Del's chandelier cleaning business.

Famous Quotes:

I don't know why they want these drug addiction centres. I mean ain't we got enough drug-addicts without them recruiting more!

  Name:   Raquel
  Played By:   Tessa Peake-Jones
  DOB:   04.06.1957
  Place:   Hammersmith
Rachel (or "Raquel" as Del would say) first encountered Del via the Technomatch Matrimonial Agency in 1988. Although she told Del she was an actress the truth was soon to be revealed when she was booked to perform in the Nag's Head - as a stripagram. Despite this shakey start love soon blossomed between the pair and their offspring, Damien, was born in 1991.

Raquel remains a frustrated actress dreaming of major stardom. She once toured the US in a production of My Fair Lady - however her role was as a flower seller. Perhaps her greatest part was when she played a lizard person in Doctor Who.

Famous Quotes:

[while giving birth]... Don't you ever come near me again, Trotter!

  Name:   Damien
  Played By:   Ben Smith
  DOB:   03.02.1991
  Place:   Peckham
The beloved offspring of Del and Raquel, Damien is not so fondly thought of by Rodney. Del and Raquel had trouble deciding on a name for their son and Rodney, revealing his deep seated psychological unease about the birth of his nephew, suggested 'Damien'. To his horror they loved the name. Rodney frequently has nightmarish visions of the little tyke wreaking havoc in the world.

Damien rose to the status of head prefect at school before losing his post due to an altercation with a dinner lady.

Famous Quotes:

D'you want to play war?

  Name:   Cassandra
  Played By:   Gwyneth Strong
  DOB:   16.06.1966
  Place:   Blackheath
Cassie was a bit of a yuppie in the late 1980s and first made an impression on Rodney at a computer training course. They first started talking after Rodney took her coat by mistake. Their relationship has had some serious peaks and troughs - including a trial separation and a miscarriage to cope with.

Cassandra's commitment to her career, although driving Rodney to distraction, has resulted in her promotion to head of small business investment at her bank.

Famous Quotes:

It happens to me all the time - I meet a guy, we get on well, he regains his sight - end of story.

  Name:   Trigger
  Played By:   Roger Lloyd-Pack
  DOB:   22.04.1948
  Place:   Back seat of an abandoned Vauxhall Wyvern, Mitcham
Although initially a (relatively speaking) sharp-minded villain Trigger's intellect has rapidly diminished over the years until it reached its current level of hilarious stupidity. He earnestly believes Rodney is called "Dave" and no one has bothered to set him straight.

A roadsweeper by trade Trigger has one qualification - a Grade 3 Cycling Proficiency Diploma - and is rarely seen without his beloved donkey jacket. Why 'Trigger'? According to Del it's because he 'looks like an 'orse!'

Famous Quotes:

Alright Dave?

  Name:   Boycie
  Played By:   John Challis
  DOB:   31.01.1948
  Place:   Woolwich
Boycie is the local second hand car dealer and for a long time was the richest man Del Boy knew. Boycie, although well-off and arrogant with it, is still a wide boy at heart and enjoys the company of Del and his mates.

Boycie's hobby is breeding tropical fish and he boasts of a having a holiday cottage in Cornwall. He is married to the fabulously named Marlene and has a son called Tyler.

Famous Quotes:

Marlene!
I might be able to con people into buying my cars. I might be able to convince 'em that you conceived and gave birth in seven days flat, but how the hell am I gonna persuade 'em that my grandad was Louis Armstrong?!

  Name:   Marlene
  Played By:   Sue Holderness
  DOB:   28.5.1949
  Place:   Hampstead
Marlene is Boycie's long suffering wife with a corncrake laugh. She spent years pining for a child, and treating her dog Duke as a surrogate offspring, before finally getting pregnant with Tyler.

Marlene finds it difficult to turn men down and as such has earned the nickname the 'Peckham bicycle'. Despite the notches on her bedpost she has Boycie wrapped round her little finger.

Famous Quotes:

Now come on boys, start acting like grown ups!

  Name:   Denzil
  Played By:   Paul Barber
  DOB:   08.08.1948
  Place:   Liverpool
Scouser Denzil went to school with Del and is called upon to perform favours for the Trotters. As a lorry driver his access to large vehicles make him an ideal companion on Del's nighttime dodgy excursions.

Denzil is not the perfect villain however and spends a lot of his time grumbling about the mess Del is getting them into. He would much rather make an honest living from his Peckham Parcels business.

Famous Quotes:

Right, that's it. I'm not havnig no drunken Irishman falling about my living room with a lighted blow-lamp! No way.

  Name:   Mike
  Played By:   Kenneth McDonald
  DOB:   12.12.1950
  Place:   Acton

Famous Quotes:

On the house, Del.

  Name:   Mickey Pearce
  Played By:   Patrick Murray
  DOB:   04.05.1961
  Place:   Peckham
For a couple of years Mickey Pearce was a mythical character - always talked about but never seen. Mickey is a younger, even less trustworthy, version of Del. He frequently double crosses the Trotters but even so manages to maintain his place in their gang of associates.

True to form Mickey was banned from taking his GCE exams for stealing the answer paper from the headmaster's office.

Famous Quotes:

Thank you, Mr Driscoll.

  Name:   Slater
  Played By:   Jim Broadbent
  DOB:   15.05.1948
  Place:   Fulham
DI Slater used to terrorise the Peckham wideboys. A representative of the Metropolitan Police, Slater was particularly feared due to his underhand methods.

A smart man Slater had 10 CSEs to his name. Ruthless in exercising his duties he once arrested his own dad for having a broken rear light. Del once said of Slater that he would 'nick you for anything you did - in fact he'd nick you for anything that you didn't do!'

Slater was not crafty enough to prevent his sacking from the Met for 12 counts of fraud and 17 of corruption. A small matter for which he was also jailed for 5 years. Slater married Raquel in 1977 - a divorce not unpredictably followed a few years later.

Famous Quotes:

You can call me Mr Slater, Detective Inspector Slater, or just plain sir!

  Place:   Peckham
