Just remembered that "bloody daley"-scene....so cool: First Inspector Dyer watches the frog-taped-over-sex-scene tape and then bloody-daley's it, then it's the same with with Jack Last, lying in bed with the former "missus waterman"

A scene that always makes me laugh in this episode is when Ken Campbell's grubby character is quietly trying to find out if a certain video is in stock. With a young couple browsing in the shop, Terry announces loudly that 'Stormtroopers in Suspenders' is indeed available, and that fumigation will cost extra. I'm glad I never tried to rent a dodgy video in the 80s...

What's fumigation when it's at home? Can't find it in my dictionary....

Getting rid of something unpleasant. The House of Commons is one building which badly needs fumigating.

I think Terry was trying to say to the bloke that being a dirty old bugger, the shop owners would have to charge extra to get rid of the nasty smell (in more ways than one) he'd leave behind. And when you see the sleazy geezer's house, you can see Terry was correct.

Well another episode I cannot remember seeing previously and I have to say what a belter.
Ian McShane, Brian Blessed, Ken Campbell, Patrick Ryecart, Ray Winstone and Garfield Morgan, in the supporting cast, wow.
So many good bits in this episode, as stated above in other posts, but a special mention has to go to Ken Campbell for playing the dirty man renting the videos so well, he made my skin crawl.

Ken Campbell is excellent in this episode. Living in a derelict house, eating HP sauce sandwiches and wearing his pyjamas under his blazer whilst watching porno movies as a pastime. The dirty cottonwool stuffed into his ear and his nasal sounding voice are good attention to detail too.

Watched it tonight, very good and as someone else said, what a cast!
Regarding the dirty old man, I'm not so sure, the test is, would you let your teenage daughter pop around to see him on an afternoon....... Not so sure he'd pass that test!

A great one this and the video shop idea is a very good one, making this a memorable episode.

I love how every wannabe hard nut always wants to have some with Terry as soon as they meet him, and whenever they actually get the opportunity, he knocks em all over the place, so funny, and his dry wit winding them up is gold.
Side note, without all that makeup, the video shop girl is actually pretty hot I'd hazard, but a case of butterface while it's all caked on.

Did Jack Last and his sidekick know who Terry was though? I don't think they did.
I reckon that they thought he was an ordinary Joe Bloggs who would have been a walkover. Jack Last even patronised Terry by sarcastically saying - "Ok. You're a very hard nut. I'm very impressed."
I also think that Jack took it for granted that his minder wasn't going to have any trouble with Tel until the first thundering right hander landed!

Either way, classic McCann justice was served, so funny! Like when he gave Phil Mitchell a hiding in sorry Lorry Morrie

To be fair Terry was looking a lot older in the last series so that's probably why Jack Last thought he was a pushover!

I must confess that as a youngster in the 80s (and regardless of the top shelf), it was quite exciting for me in an independent video shop. At the time, older films weren't so easy accessible as they are today. I would have been around 14 when this one was being made and at that time there were more than just video shops renting videos out - you'd find newsagents, petrol stations and off licences doing the same thing too.
The shop in this episode is typical of the time and has quite a lot of films and this brings back memories of just looking at covers for quite some time if you went in one. As time went on I remember some video shops would have several copies of new releases and some places even had a reservation system. These remained quite popular until the late 90s but I remember (certainly where I lived) there was a gradual decline in the number of smaller independent shops.
This coincided with 'Blockbuster' coming along and more or less dominating the mid to late 90s market. I must confess I was not a fan of Blockbuster. They never had the magic of the independent shop and did mostly newer commercial stuff as opposed to the early 80s big box releases and forgotten about stuff released from the 70s and 80s that was in the shops like the one in the episode.

Absolutely right. They are a prime example that life does move on, but it doesn't always get better. I used to enjoy browsing the video shop of an evening

Great memories jno ...especially of the reservation system for videos. I also remember the disappointment of going into the video hire shop and seeing 'On Hire' tabs on the particular titles I wanted to watch that evening. Another issue that would test the patience was that of reserving a title, going to the shop to rent it only to find that the previous days hirer hadn't returned it on time

Maybe Tel was feeling older too....driving a base model Fiesta rather than a Capri, dressing like a middle aged man and feeling downbeat about his career prospects.
