Del's confident that he's onto a winner with Trigger's consignment of Old English vinyl briefcases. How can his brother Rodney even think of abandoning the high-flying world of trading for a real job?
Rodney's depressed. His mate Mickey Pearce has moved in on his bird - Monica of the fat thighs - and life isn't exactly a social whirl. Del has the solution - they'll all be millionaires in a year - cue his smooth friend Boycie and a very dodgy deal...
Del's swooping in on a deal of a lifetime - it could keep them in pilau rice forever. All he has to do is get hold of a poxy statue... trouble is, he hasn't reckoned on a touch of gang warfare...
Del's rekindled passion with an old flame Pauline and it looks like wedding bells are in the air again. Rodney's not so thrilled after what happened to her first two husbands...

It's anthracite roast potatoes and green stuff all around - Grandad's cooking dinner! Trouble is, Rodney's in danger of dying of boredom. Then the glittering attractions of the Monte Carlo Club beckon...

Del introduces the Dresden-collecting aristocracy to some North-Korean porcelain and his chandelier-cleaning service.
It's Christmas in Peckham and Del's fallen hook, line, and sinker for the lovely Heather...
Lugging the shopping up those 12 flights of stairs is proving too much for Grandad. So the doctor recommends a new council bungalow for the Trotter dynasty. Over to Rodney, the new chairman of the housing committee...
Rodney's decided to go it alone and leave Peckham's own multinational conglomerate - Trotters' Independent Trading. By the end of the week he's already cornered the market in used lawnmower engines and with Mickey Pearce as his Financial Director, the sky's the limit...
Del, Rodney, and Grandad are Cornwall-bound to Boycie's cottage and a spot of salmon poaching. Should be a doddle of a weekend's jolly, if you leave out the bit about the mad-axe-salmon-fisherman-killer who's just escaped from the local institute, that is...
Del's into art dealing in a big way, especially when it involves a "posh tart" like the glamorous Miranda. Has she really been wooed by his tequlia sunsets or are her motives rather more mercenary...
A ripple of of panic runs through the Nag's Head. Del's old school enemy Roy Slater is back in town, hell bent on revenge and brandishing his police badge...
Watch out! The Peckham Pouncer's about! Alias Rodney Trotter... ? Surely there must be some mistake? Try telling that to Rodney, London's most wanted criminal...
Move over Leonardo! The Trotter decorating business is on the roll again. This time they're just doing a favour for Denzil. Their instructions are simple enough: don't eat the fruit or turn on the TV and stay out of the kitchen... so what's happened to Busby, the canary?
'Tis the season to be jolly and it's Grand Marnier and grapefruit all round when Del and Rodney's dad comes back to the fold after 18 years. Until he begins to cast doubt on Del's filial integrity, that is...
Del has another get-rich-quick scheme in mind when he educates Rodney and Grandad on the wonders of oil drilling.
Rodney's in love with Debbie from the newsagents. Could this mean the end of his dirty magazine fetish? Trouble is, she's only 19, and 19.5 years ago, Del was pretty friendly with her mum June...
Grandad's funeral brings relations from as far away as North London, including Uncle Albert whose intentions leave Del feeling "like a turkey who's just caught Bernard Matthews grinning at him."
Rodney's none-too-shrewd investment in suntan oil during "the worst winter in two million years" demands emergency measures, and Uncle Albert decides that it is time to display his only talent - that of falling down holes without any real injury.
Instead of the Albert Hall, Rodney's pop group are heading for "sod all", until Del discovers their commercial potential. As usual, it doesn't quite work out as they'd like...
Del is onto a great new money-making scheme - looking after Boycie and Marlene's new puppy Duke for a steal at £60 a week should be a doddle... a bit of the old Pedigree Chum and they should be away. Then Duke falls victim to salmonella poisoning...
Rodney is desperate to find a woman for a party at the Nag's Head. Nothing new? This time, he's got a bet on with Mickey, and Del's gonna make sure he wins...
When the bottom falls out of lourve doors, times get hard for the Trotters. But nature will find a way, as Del and Rodney go butterfly collecting...
The epic journey of a terminally seasick youth, an entrepreneur who hasn't washed for three days, and a sailor who's sunk ever vessel he's ever sailed in...
It all sounded pretty cushty, £15,000 to collect some diamonds from Amsterdam for Boycie and Abdul with just a few snags. There's some dodgy geezer called Van Kleefe at the Dutch end, Chief Inspector Slater back home, and a small matter of a great customs hall in the middle. Then a brilliant idea enters Del's mind: let old sea dog Uncle Albert take the helm and sail across.
When a German damsel turns up in the Nag's Head, she's definately in distress - and nine months pregnant at that. Rodney's all beer and sympathy, but Del's got an idea - could this be the answer to Boycie and Marlene's dreams of a child and a golden opportunity for the Trotters to make a few bob along the way?
Del reckons he's discovered a miracle. The statue of the Virgin Mary at the local church has been spotted weeping. Del soon has the cream of the world's media paying to fill the event - and, of course, it's nothing at all to do with a leaky church roof.
A robber makes a raid on the local supermarket just as Del and family are out shopping. What's worse - Del sold him a duff watch down the market, and it's that that's got them into trouble in the first place.
Look out! Del's tampered with the sunbed controls and Rodney's seeing red - literally! He'll hardly wow Trigger's lovely niece, Lisa, with his good looks now - which leaves the way pretty clear for Del himself. But revenge should certainly be sweet when Rodney volunteers Del for a spot of hang-gliding...
Rodney has gained a grant from the local council to make a community film, and Del soon sees its earning potential. Mickey Pearce on the other hand sees the chance to make a far more dodgy type of movie.
Del's old pal Jumbo Mills is back with tales of his booming car business in Australia. What's more, Jumbo wants Del to go back down under with him as his partner in the enterprise. Could Del really leave Peckham for good?
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".
Despite Rodney undertaking a dead impressive new job, life for the Trotters is far from cushty. Del's state-of-the-ark computers are going down about as well as bacon sandwiches at a bar mitzvah, while at the market, Uncle Albert's unconvincing performances of lumbago recovery have left the flat knee-deep in x-ray massage gizmos.
Still, things can only get better... At Trigger's niece's nuptials ("only a hyphen or two away from a society wedding"), they encounter an old friend of the family - Trigger's Aunt Renee. What she tells Del and Rodney about their mum's old pal "Freddie the Frog" leaves the boys desperate to know more. Rodney is eager to discover why this charming villain left all his ill-gotten gains to the Trotters and how come everyone notes his resemblance to his mum's "friend". Del Boy is more interested in what happened to the Frog's Legacy - a hoard of undiscovered gold bullion. Are they, at last, about to be millionaires?
It's been a good month for Trotters Independent Traders. The unprecedented demand for ladies' razors has meant Del and Rodney can escape the daily struggle for a while and enjoy life's rewards. Uncle Albert's unmissable hints about his forthcoming birthday means there's a celebration on the cards and the new computer dating agency means romance is in the air.
While Rodney's afternoon cruise in the Trotter Van with Nervous Nerys proves memorable for all the wrong reasons, Del's date as tycoon, Derek Duvall, has more success in finding himself "a local bird that won't need too much driving". His ambitions to meet a girl who's refined enough to tell the difference between a bottle of Liebfraumilch and a bottle of Tizer seem to have been met by Raquel, who's "not a bird, she's an actress". And it's not too long before their lunch at the Hilton leads to things getting more serious.
It looks like everything's lovely jubbly until Albert's birthday knees-up is called to a halt by a couple in naval uniform...
1980's fever is spreading fast! Del's on the up and up - into the exciting world of red braces and yuppy shirts. Meanwhile, Rodney's pulled a classy new girlfriend called Cassandra. But what will she think of Nelson Mandela House?
Just faking a signature on a delivery note means that Del can take possession of 50 dolls for absolutely nothing. The only problem is that "Lusty Linda" and "Erotic Estelle" are not exactly what he had in mind!
The opportunity to buy 250 18-carat gold chains from a retired jeweller, Arnie, is something Del can't resist. Everything is fine until Arnie is taken seriously ill just as the deal is about to be sealed, and Del is left feeling that all that glitters...
Rodney has won a holiday for three in the Mediterranean, courtesy of Del and the Megaflakes drawing competition. The only snag is Rodney's got to pretend he's fourteen years old all week!
Excruciating stomach cramps and a constant diet of health salts might drive some people to visit a doctor, but not Del. Oh no, he's only suffering from that scourge of all serious yuppies, PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)!
With his diploma in computer science, new job in Cassandra's father's printing firm, and impending marriage, Rodney's certainly on the up. But meanwhile, Del's got himself into a bit of bother over some hooky mobile phones with the less than understanding Driscoll Brothers!
Del is organising the annual beano to Margate, the traditional Jolly Boys' Outing. But Rodney and Cassandra have just celebrated their first wedding anniversary, and she's worried about him going out with the boys - especially as Cassandra's angling for a promotion with her yuppie boss. When Rodney is arrested and the whole party is stranded by a very nasty accident, her worst fears are realised.
But there's more to Margate than chips, cockles, ice-cream, doughnuts, Pina Colada, and lobster vindaloo. There's magician The Great Ramondo and his lovely assistant Raquel.
All right for Del, but back home, Cassandra's ambitions appear to have got out of hand...
When Cassandra finds more interest in the bank's badminton club than in her husband's dietary distress, Rodney decides to return to the Trotter nest. But just as Del's romantic room-sharing plans with Raquel begin to yield fruit, disaster strikes: Rodney succeeds in asking the bird from the exhaust centre to the pictures. Del Boy decides that Cassandra must be told the truth - it's the least a loving brother could do...
Rodney has split with Cassandra and is back in the flat, asleep on the couch, drunk or nursing a hangover. Del decides a romantic reconciliation at a luxury airport on her return from holiday will do the trick. But who could have predicted Air Traffic Control would have such trouble? And could it be connected with Del's purchase of a dodgy satellite dish?
As Del Boy dreams of shifting a thousand "National Anthem" musical doorbells, Raquel revives her theatrical passions and goes for an audition to join the world of cravats and codpieces. Not that Del is much help (when asked what he thought about Hamlet, he said he preferred Castellas). Meanwhile, Rodney manages to blow his date with Cassandra and lose his job - in true plonker style.
When Del gets the chance to supply the cabaret at the Starlight Rooms, a pregnant Raquel dusts off her vocal chords in the kitchen, and Trigger's mate Tony Angelino, the singing dustman, is ready to duet with her. That is, until Del discovers the real owner of the club and the extent of Tony's vocal range!
A school reunion in the Nag's Head signals Roy Slater's return to Civvy Street after years in the "Nick". But why has this crooked ex-copper decided to come back to Peckham when he is universally loathed? Just as they begin to believe that he really has changed for the better, Del discovers the real reason for Slater's return...
While Rodney's drinking bouts leave him looking like one of the living dead, Albert's looking like a born again Teddy Boy. But the old sea dog returns from the over 60's club, bruised and battered. Has he really been mugged, or is the source of the former Navy boxing champion's injuries much more embarrassing?
Del's about to become a father, but even that can't cheer up Rodney the vegetarian. The Polar Cap is melting, the rain forest 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 Rodney's image in Cassandra's eyes...
After Damien's christening, Del suggests a holiday in Miami, Florida is the perfect way for Rodney and Cassandra to get back together.
The Trotter Brothers arrive in Miami for their holiday, only to run into trouble with a top-notch Italian-American crime family when their leader is a dead ringer for Del Boy!
Now with a new Trotter to support, Del needs some inspiration to clear his Christmas cashflow problems. It arrives at Grandad's old allotment - Peckham Spring Water! There's serious bunce to be made in bottled mineral water, even if it comes from a tap. Now all the Trotters need to do is get rid of those smelly old barrels of yellow liquid cluttering up the allotment...
Marital affairs have taken a turn for the worse for the Trotters. Rodney finds himself exhausted by Cassandra's punishing procreative schedule, while Del finds himself single again. Late nights and one too many Harvey Wallbangers have left his marriage on the rocks.
Not that the carefree Trotter is worried. He's pulled at the dentist's and, as hell breaks out on the streets of Peckham, is onto a winner with his latest hooky stock - Russian infa-red, see-in-the-dark video cameras.
Trotters Independent Traders remains commercially unviable. Del is stuck with 125 unpredictable Latvian radio alarms, the council have rejected his home improvement grant application, and Rodney is on a sex programme that would leave Roger Rabbit knackered. But when our fancy-dressed caped crusaders turn street vigilantes, they find being on the right side of the law has its own rewards.
Del considers the snip (and regrets flogging Dr. Singh that dodgy paint) and, with the help of a new man's manual, is learning to give attention to Raquel - if only she'd stop talking while he's trying to read. Meanwhile, father-to-be Rodney, "accustomed to the security of an irregular wage", is applying for a new job. Can the Trotter business empire survive without him?
After Del helps Rodney get over Cassandra's miscarriage and their loss of their baby, Raquel's parents are coming to dinner, so Del pulls out all the stops - if only Uncle Albert knew the difference between coffee and gravy granules. The next morning, Rodney's stock-take reveals Trotters Independent Traders' assets as an artificial leg, some Showaddy Waddy LPs, and a broken watch. But Raquel's father knows a bit about antiques and spots something that will change their lives forever. Could if really be that "this time next week", the Trotter family will finally be millionaires?
Del, Rodney, and Albert discuss real-world events while appealing for donations.
It's been five years since those lovable siblings, Del Boy & Rodney Trotter, drove off into the sunset to the tune of £6.2 million.
Now they're back and thanks to a dodgy Central American investment, Trotters Independent Traders has been declared bankrupt and forced to move back to Nelson Mandela House. Before long, their novel money-making schemes are in evidence again - Del's about to appear live on the TV gameshow Goldrush, and Rodney has a plan to boost his and Cassandra's love-life...
Times are hard again. Bankrupt and back to selling dodgy Slovakian log-effect gas fires, Del's even driving for Boycie. Trotters Independent Traders needs capital - pronto. So when the Trotter Brothers decide to travel to Normandy to represent their late Uncle Albert at a war reunion, a "nothing-to-declare" visit to a wine warehouse with Denzil's new van seems a cushty option.
But chamboussiz nouvelle! France is like a foreign country: the reunion town is full of Albert-a-likes ("more Captain Birdseye's Banjo than Captain Morelli's Mandarin"), they bring back an illegal immigrant and somehow become the internationally-hunted "Gary Gang".
After 22 years in Nelson Mandela House, the Trotters face eviction by the Official Receiver. They're in desperate need of some dosh and it's certainly not going to come from expectant-father Rodney's Oscar-winning screenplay or Trigger's new invention - portable chopsticks!
Meanwhile, down the Nag's Head, previously flat-chested Marlene appears with a pneumatic bosom ("Call up Twickenham and see if they've got a couple of balls missing") and Del and Rodney turn up an amusing old 1960's Jolly Boys' Outing photograph including a chap (Freddie the Frog, the Raffles of Peckham) who looks uncannily like Rodney...
