Rodney

Rodney DOB: 26.02.1960 Place: Peckham Nicholas Lyndhurst

Rodders, as he is affectionately known by his big brother, has stuck by Del through thick and thin. After leaving school with two GCEs in Art and Maths, he was expelled from Art College for dabbling with the dreaded weed.

Without much going for him Rodney managed to rise to the heady heights of Financial Director of Trotters Independent Traders. Against all odds Rodney found a supportive partner in Cassandra and made an honest woman of her in 1989. These days the only thing that troubles Rodney is his nephew Damien - about whom he has recurring nightmares.

Lyndhurst has had a charmed acting career - snaring his first role at the tender age of 18 playing Ronnie Barker's son in the Porridge sequel Going Straight. On the strength of this he graduated to playing another moody teenager in the sitcom Butterflies, before landing the role of Rodney.
