- The owner of the poultry farm, Dennis Regan, is a merchant as well, and deals in "pounds of flesh".

Featured review
No More Cakes and Ale
Sebastian is dressed as a chicken in this episode, promoting a fast food place.
When a defence barrister comes to see them over a trial taking place involving a violent robbery. Frank and Lu are involved in a race against time to find a witness, a vagrant.
The defendant is reluctant to talk even though he might be innocent. He fears reprisals. His girlfriend has more to hide.
The prosecuting barrister is Rupert Shylock who plans to tear apart the defence's case.
Enjoyable as it was, the prosecution case was weak.
There were some familiar faces in this episode, two from Only Fools and Horses and Cliff Parisi from Call the Midwife.
