Brothers In Arms

Brothers In Arms explores the relationship between Del and Rodney Trotter, which is at the heart of each of the 64 episodes. The on-screen chemistry and off-screen relationship of two of the greatest comedy actors of the last fifty years was pivotal for the show, and a key factor in how Only Fools quickly developed from being a modest sitcom to becoming the jewel in the BBC's crown. This episode also features a rare Christmas sketch the cast performed, which hasn't been broadcast in over 28 years.

Deals And Misdemeanours

A round up of all the hooky deals and bent gear the Trotters 'knocked out' in and around the markets stalls of Peckham. Whether it was masquerading as chandelier cleaners, flogging turban crash helmets or getting into music management with Tony Angelino, Del always had an eye for a get-rich-quick scheme. The episode also explores how Del got his market trader look and features a rare sketch from over thirty years ago which the cast performed for the Royal Family.
