So the chance to supply the cabaret at the Starlight Rooms for old friend, Eric to the tune of 600 quid, is too good to miss.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Uncle

Albert's pumping iron and looking like a born again Teddy Boy, while Rodders' drinking bouts leave him looking like one of the living dead. Del attempts to pamper the pregnant Raquel by buying a bargain banger from Boycie and take on the unemployable Rodney as Director of Commercial Development, Lord Rodney. As Rodney get to works on his first project - washing 'the Pratmobile', Albert returns from the over 60's club bruised and battered. Has he really been mugged by four, five or six skinheads or is the source of the old navy boxing champion's injuries more embarrassing?

Three Men, a Woman and a Baby

Del's about to become a father but even that can't cheer Rodney-the-vegetarian up. The Polar Cap is melting, the rain forrest is dying, the sea is being poisoned, and he hasn't had a "bit for months". Not even one of Del's new ponytail wigs could enhance his image in Cassandra's eyes...

Christmas Special 1991 : Miami Twice (Oh to be in England)

In the second part of this 1991 special, Del Boy and Rodney haven't been in Miami a day yet and they've had their camera all their luggage and money stolen. How lucky they bumped into these nice 'Family' boys at the night club they popped into to make a phone call. What they don't know is that there is a Godfather involved and they are expendable.
