30 years ago today, Damien Trotter - Son of Del Boy! - was born.
Damien is the only child of Del and Raquel and nephew of Rodney Trotter. A recurring theme in the show was Rodney's fixated belief that Damien was literally the Antichrist (an allusion to the Damien Thorn character from the Omen series of films) despite the fact that Damien shows no resentment nor intentions of harm toward anybody except Rodney himself.
Rodney sarcastically suggested that they name him "Damien" as Rodney was
convinced that the baby would be born half-demon. To his horror, they
adored the name and Rodney desperately tried to get them to change their
minds, offering the name Derek which led to his middle name (and
resulting in the initials D. D. T.)
Damien was born under a full moon and during the birth, Rodney even
went as so far as to ask Del if the baby had been born with the numbers
"666" branded on its forehead.
