The Class of '62 saw the return of Slater, oily played by Jim Broadbent, one of the men considered for the part of Del back in 1981. Slater has been languishing in jail since To Hull and Back and it looks like he's turned over a new leaf. A classic ensemble episode, Trigger gets the best line. Misty eyed while recalling their school football team and talks about camaraderie. 'Was that the Italian boy?' wonders Trig.

Rodney's problems and Raquel's pregnancy are knocked down Del's worry list in He Ain't Heavy He's My Uncle when Albert goes missing, following a mugging. Del feels responsible for Albert's disappearance after his attempt at motivating him goes terribly wrong.

Now Del's Hooky Street goods rarely have quite the positive effect that his latest line has in Three Men, a Woman and a Baby. Yet his rat-tail wigs prove just the ticket for rekindling Rodney and Cassandra's love life, albeit in not quite the fashion they were designed.

In great contrast to how it began, the series ended on a joyous note, well maybe not for Rodney who saw the coming of the evil one, following the birth of Raquel and Del's son Damian.

But it's Del's moving monologue that ends the episode and the series. We know that Damian is going to be a chip off the old block if Del has anything to do with it when Del tells him: "This time next year we'll be millionaires."
