Trotters Independent Traders comes face to face with the creme-de-la-menthe of British nobility...

Del decides a visit to the opera is the perfect opportunity for Rodney to impress his new "friend", the daughter of the Duke of Maylebury. However, munching a packet of crisps through the duet and whistling along to the aria, is more Peckham Astoria than Covent Garden. When Rodney is then invited on a shooting weekend, he hardly needs Del to arrive, enter the clay pigeon shoot with a borrowed sawn-off shotgun, and confide in the Duke that he plans to announce the engagement of the Duke's daughter and his brother in "Country Life, The Times, and the Peckham Echo".

Episode Notes
 
As revealed in Steve Clark's book, The Only Fools and Horses Story, John Sullivan was not happy with this episode, feeling that it seemed to show Del Boy in a negative light. Whereas Del was always seen to be a lovable rogue, in this episode, there were some scenes where he came over as boorish and offensive.
