The Green Green Grass / int_20b5cce7	comment	"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: John Sullivan wrote the theme music when he wrote the first season. He wrote the lyrics to explain the title and why Boycie and his family were running away to the countryside and wanted a theme tune that explained the obscure title (as with the parent show) and reasons for the characters' sudden dash.

The Green Green Grass / int_3b113b7	type	Character Development
The Green Green Grass / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: Mild example, but given Boycie was largely designed as Shadow Archetype and Smug Snake rival for Del Boy in Only Fools And Horses, his turn in center spotlight required more focus on his own pathos and slicker qualities.

The Green Green Grass / int_78fdd115	comment	Witless Protection Program: Invoked. Boycie ends up having to flee his beloved London, following it being leaked that will he testifying against the Driscoll Brothers. As such he sells everything and buys a farm in Shropshire, then leaves in the middle of the night without telling anyone. When Marlene asks why not go into a Police witness protection, Boycie points out it was the Police who told the Driscolls he was the grass. The Driscolls do eventually find him, but only after Marlene foolishly invites her sister to visit for the weekend, up to which point they admit they had no clue where he was.
