this point in his mid-seventies, largely infirm, and still living at Nelson Mandela House with his grandsons. He is often seen watching two television sets at once, one in black and white and one in colour. In The Second Time Around it is revealed that he would normally watch three sets, but one was being mended. Grandad's favourite television shows are Crossroads and The Dukes of Hazzard, as revealed in "Homesick" and "May The Force Be With You," and the former episode reveals that he also enjoys listening to The Archers on the radio. In "Yesterday Never Comes," Del suggests that he watches The Chinese Detective in his bedroom in order to remove him from the sitting room. Grandad is always seen wearing a hat, even in bed. Because of their sense of family loyalty, the Trotters ensure that he will always have a home, with Del dismissing his fiancée Pauline's suggestion of putting Grandad into a residential home because "he's family" ("The Second Time Around"). Grandad is a poor cook; his final line in the series is "Del Boy, I've burnt yer pizza!", and in the first Christmas special, he left the giblets in their plastic wrapping inside the turkey. In the first episode, when Rodney came home after a week's absence, he declined a meal cooked by Grandad despite being ravenously hungry. Del also played an April Fool's joke on Grandad, telling him that the pools had called to say that he had won £500,000. Grandad went to Soho and celebrated before remembering that he did not participate in the pools. None of the main characters addresses Grandad by his name. Trigger addresses him as 'Mr. Trotter' in Ashes to Ashes, and in "Who's a Pretty Boy?", even pet shop owner Louis greets him as 'Grandad.' This is further seen in The Russians Are Coming, when the Trotters are stopped for speeding by police sergeant Eric, who refers to Grandad as 'Grandad,' while Grandad calls him 'Eric Boy.' His name is not revealed until Rock & Chips. When Lennard Pearce died in 1984, writer John Sullivan chose not to recast him but to write the character's death into the series. A funeral was held for Grandad in "Strained Relations", which saw the Trotter brothers trying to come to terms with the loss of a man who had been such an integral part of their lives.
