DT Locations: Block mansion I

 

The first Block mansion appeared in 12 episodes of DT in Season 2. It was the home of Jerry and Lynda Block from when he purchased Harchester United in the summer before the 1998-99 season.

 

On the third weekend of the new season, the first team gathered at the mansion to model their new home strip... with a little help from a Leopard-clad Mrs Block! Lynda invites the newly returned Natalie Hocknell to stay, and giving her a style update to match her footballer's wife status, Natalie tries on a red number Lynda recommends, and spots bruises on Natalie's back. Lynda knows Natalie hasn't told Sean about what Dean has been doing, so Sean asks Natalie to see Dean before he goes back to Turkey, and she agrees to give Dean another chance.

 

Jerry has a minor health scare when Lynda leaves him for Bermuda, threatening divorce. Returning, Lynda lays down her rules for staying, ending with she wants a family with stability which means children and wants a baby.

 

A dinner party is held at the house when Jerry is working to get Councillor Roberts on side. Luis introduces Trudi to Lynda and she learns she is the physio and is rattled. As Fletch tries to sneak a replacement dinner in, he is spotted by an impressed Councillor Roberts, which entices Jerry into inviting Fletch to sit down with them. The table are stunned when the meal Fletch collected is curry, which Kelly explains as being Pheasant curry, though Councillor Roberts seems thrilled.

 

After discovering Lynda's affair with Luis, Jerry takes a call from BudJet Flights regarding Lynda's tickets for Buenos Aires tomorrow, and gets hold of her passport saying it is dangerous to carry around and will hold onto it until they go away together. At the same time, Jerry is planning Luis's assassination at the FA Cup final, but on the day it is Lynda who is grazed in the head by a bullet and suffers memory loss. Jerry uses Lynda's injury to separate her from Luis and keep her fully under his control, beginning with moving her into a more secure house - the second Block mansion.
