Craty cockney market trader Derek Trotter dreams of making a fortune, but each dodgy deal and shady scheme always seems to end in disaster. In the meantime, there's his family to look after. This award-winning, life-affirming series is one of the most popular on British television.
The Trotter's flat in Peckham is rather overcrowded these days. There's Dad, of course, and Uncle Albert, and Del's girlfriend Raquel - and Rodney, who at this rate is heading for one of the shortest marriages in Peckham. Del thinks he's a yuppie and is trying to take Trotters Independent Traders upmarket, although he still finds most of his customers either in the market or the Nag's Head. However, in the series, he does branch out and become impresario for one unforgettable night.
