Reg
Trotter, absentee father to Del
and Rodney, unexpectedly
arrives to celebrate Christmas with his boys.
Reg
explains that he has been living in Newcastle,
and after a visit from the infirmary, was diagnosed with hereditary
blood disorder. Scared for their well-being, he decided to
tell his two sons.
However,
several tests later, Reg is given the all clear but it seems
Del Boy and Rodders have different blood types. It would seem
the wayward father has some explaining to do.
 Reg
explains that he frequently argued with their mother before
they split. She had several dalliances with other men, and
Del is the mystery child. Fortunately a visit to the family
quack gives him news to put the smile back on his face.
