"The Long Legs of the Law" Trivia Quiz

Answer: His teeth

The first line of the episode is Granddad asking Rodney if he's seen his teeth, to which Rodney replies: "have you tried your mouth." Del then comes in claiming to have found them outside beside the rubbish chute.

Answer: False

It was actually Del who dated the daughter. Del tells Granddad about their night, and that Rodney is now sulking. Granddad asks Rodney what is the matter, as it sounded like a good evening.

Rodney: "Granddad, when he said we was going out with a mother and her daughter, I assumed that I'd be with the daughter."

Del is around 16 years older than Rodney.

Answer: False

When Sid asked what Del had, he replied a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits. When Sid asked what he really had, he replied:

"Sausage, bacon, double egg beans and tomatoes,mushrooms, black pudding and chips. Three teas, two bread. Bread was toasted."
Sid: "No fried slice."
Del: "Not this morning, Sid, belly's a bit dicky."

Answer: Bacteria on toast

Sidn's café is notoriously lacking when it comes to cleanliness. Sid cheekily tells Del that one of these days he'll smack Rodney in the mouth.

Answer: Policewoman

Rodney has a thing about women in uniforms. He met the policewoman the previous night following disruption at the pub they were in. When he tells Del in Sid's café that he is taking the policewoman out that night, Del is taken aback and promptly drops some cutlery he had hidden up his sleeve taken from the café.

Answer: Sandra

Sandra is played by Kate Saunders, who now makes her living as a writer. She won the Betty Trask Award for her debut novel "The Prodigal Father" in 1986. She was one of the contestants on the very first episode of long-running British satirical panel show "Have I Got News for You."

Answer: tears away

Del and Rodney are lecturing Rodney on how he has shamed the family by dating a policewoman. Rodney believes Del is just trying to run his life, and asks what Del has ever done for him.

Granddad: "You've always been a bad 'un Rodney...smoking marijuana. You brought a slur on the family name."
Rodney: "Leave off Granddad, I'd have to get done for chicken molesting to bring a slur on this family name."
Granddad: "It's a good thing your mother died when she did, because that would've killed her."

Answer: A watch

Del has "acquired" some watches in this episode. Rodney, naïvely, gives one to Sandra, not realising that they are not 100% legal. When Del tells Rodney the watch has been stolen, Rodney asks, "You mean they're hot?"

Del: "They're so hot it's advisable to wear oven gloves when winding them up."

Del gets the watch back by spilling some gin on Sandra and offering to get the watch repaired.

Answer: Gin

The gin is also presumably bootleg. After Del spills gin over Sandra, Rodney offers to get her another, but the bottle is empty. Del tells Sandra that they are out of gin, but Rodney says it's okay, they have another three cases, then pulls the curtain back to reveal the boxes Del had hidden.

Answer: False

When Rodney says that he would like a coffee, Sandra suggests he try an all night sandwich bar. She asks Rodney if there is anything in his flat which is legally his, and is angry that he gave her a stolen watch. Because Rodney took her out and bought her a doner kebab, she agrees to give Rodney 24 hours to remove the stolen goods from the flat before she comes back with the CID, prompting Del to have to completely empty the flat, as he cannot remember what is legal and what isn't.
