Side guide

Del: Oh, don’t start that, Rodney! You have not married beneath yourself! Cassandra comes from a very lovely family! Your problem is you’re letting her rule you. I mean, that cobblers tonight – you know, she wouldn’t let you out! I mean, what are you, a man or a mouse? You’ve gotta learn to assert yourself.

Sid ( Roy Heather) — Sid made sparse appearances throughout the show's run, mainly as the proprietor of the dirty and unhygenic local cafe. In the episode "The Jolly Boys' Outing", it is revealed that Sid fought in the Second World War. He was captured and imprisoned but escaped, only for the boat he was using to be hit and sunk by a Greek fishing trawler being steered by Uncle Albert. After Nag's Head landlord Mike was imprisoned, Sid took over and kept that role for the remainder of the series.

Albert Gladstone Trotter ( Buster Merryfield) — Shortly after the death of Lennard Pearce, it was decided that a new older family member should be brought in, which eventually led to "Uncle Albert", Grandad's estranged younger brother. Merryfield was an inexperienced amateur actor at the time, but was selected because he appeared to fit the description of an old sailor, especially with his distinctive white " Captain Birdseye" beard. [20] Albert first appeared at Grandad's funeral, and soon moved in with Del and Rodney. [21] His wartime experiences with the Royal Navy became one of the show's running gags, [21] usually beginning with the words "During the war...". [22] Merryfield died in 1999 and Albert's death was written into the next episode. [23] [24]
