A regular at the Nags Head pub, and old friend of Del Boy, Trigger is a road sweeper, and also appears to dabble in trading. He once supplied Del with paint which Del proceeded to use to decorate his mother's grave with. Only then did Trigger inform him that the paint was used on signs in railway tunnels and, therefore, luminous.

Trigger is quite dull, he speaks in a fairly slow, monotone voice, he is loyal, friendly and kind. However, Trigger's most noticeable trait is that he is stupid beyond belief, verging on insanity. Even the simplest joke can go over his head and he often makes ridiculously stupid statements. Most noticeably of all, he insists on calling Rodney "Dave". This began in the first episode when Del introduced Rodney to Trigger saying "Trig', have you met my brother?"; despite having never met Rodney before Trigger mistakenly answers "Yeah, 'course, alright Dave?". This title appears to have stuck with Trigger and much to Rodney's despair he appears now to have resigned to it.
