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.

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.

Writer: John Sullivan
Director: Mandie Fletcher
Guest star: John Bardon (Security Guard), Jeanne Mockford (Woman in kiosk), Vas Blackwood (Lennox Gilbey), Max Harvey (Mr. Peterson), Catherine Clarke (Sheila)

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...

Writer: John Sullivan
Director: Ray Butt
Guest star: Sarah Duncan (Lady Victoria Marsham Hales), Jack Hedley (Henry Marsham, Duke of Malebury), Peter Tuddenham (Charles)

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?



Dates

First aired: Dec/25/1988
Writer: John Sullivan
Director: Tony Dow
Guest star: Martin Cochrane (Naval Officer), Nicholas Courtney (Charles)

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...

Writer: John Sullivan

Guest star: Walter Sparrow (Dirty Barry), David Warwick (TV Presenter)

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!

Writer: John Sullivan
Director: Tony Dow

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...

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.

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.

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?

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...

First aired: Dec/25/2002
Writer: John Sullivan
Director: Tony Dow
Guest star: Martin Friend (Mayor)

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...
