Trigger (Only Fools and Horses) Trigger did not know his father and in all seriousness says "he died a couple of years before I was born", when Rodney asks of his whereabouts in the episode "Ashes to Ashes". He was brought up by his grandparents, with his grandfather having also been a roadsweeper. When Trigger is pushed by Boycie to say whom his mother had written down on the birth certificate as Trigger's father Trigger says, reluctantly, "Some soldiers". Trigger is not married, but he occasionally mentions past relationships during the series and is seen on a blind date with a woman in the 1988
Grandad (Only Fools and Horses) Albert fell out over Albert's later wife, Ada. Albert tells Rodney that while walking home from a nightclub together, they both had a fight, and never spoke to each other again after that. The character of Grandad was written out of the original show following the death of the actor Lennard Pearce but is featured heavily as a main character (called frequently by his real name "Ted") in the 2010-2011 prequel series "Rock & Chips". Set in 1960, we see Grandad recently separated from his wife Vi, unemployed and subsequently homeless, after she finds out about his affair with Alice.
