Only Fools and Horses, The Complete Collection

Del is confident that he's on to 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?

Del and Rodney are looking after Boycie's E Type Jaguar for the week. They head off for a night on the tiles and get lucky with a pair of sorts in Nicky and Michelle. The girls write their phone numbers on Del's cigar pack, but Rodney chucks it out of the window of the Jag on the way home. When Del performs an emergency stop, suddenly Boycie's luxury motor is not so pristine.

Eager to forge new business contacts, Del befriends Vimmal Malik, a wealthy businessman who seems eager to work with Trotters Independent Traders. All Del has to do to secure the deal of a lifetime is get hold of a poxy statue, the trouble is, he hasn't reckoned on a touch of gang warfare.

Del meets Trigger in The Nags Head, and he's stunned to hear that Pauline Harris, his ex-fiancee, is back in Peckham - twelve years after she left him to go to America. But with her return, Del is willing to forgive and forget, and it's not long before they are engaged again. Rodney's not so thrilled after finding out what happened to her first two husbands.

Del persuades the local bus company to hand over one of their open-top buses in exchange for Rodney working as a Trainee Nocturnal Security Officer - part of their latest company, Trotter Watch. But the best is yet to come, as Del launches Trotters' Ethnic Tours: a scenic tour around Chingford and Croydon, taking in such ethnic sights as the Lee Valley Viaduct.

Another successful dodgy deal means Del has over a grand's worth of lead from a disused factory to get rid of. When Rodney points out the three tons of lead are in fact a DIY nuclear fall-out shelter, Del refuses to believe him until he reads the accompanying brochure. With the threat of nuclear holocaust preying on Rodney's nerves, they set about creating a survival plan.

Rodney has run out of yuletide cheer as the annual Trotter festivities are wearing thin. So the Trotter boys head to The Monte Carlo Club, where Rodney puts his new-found knowledge of the unspoken language of love to use. Del Boy however, has other ideas.

Del Boy and Grandad are horrified to hear that Rodney is dating a police officer. But while Grandad is worried about Sandra finding out about the Trotters' sullied reputation, Del is sweating over the amount of dodgy gear he's got stored in the flat.

When Trigger's Grandmother passes away, the Trotters gather round to offer their condolences. Ever the considerate friend, Del offers to take some of her valuables off Trig's hands. He spots two urns that might be worth a bob or two, the only problem is that one of them is Trig's Grandad's last resting place!

Even Del's double headed coin can't seem to rescue him from financial trouble. Nevertheless, when Boycie challenges him to a winner-takes-all poker game, Del is eager to host it. As the night progresses, Del's luck goes from bad to worse and he ends up owing Boycie everything. Maybe that double headed coin will come in handy after all.

Rodney falls for Irene Mackay - a woman twice his age - and Del Boy isn't happy about it. She's married to a hard nut who's doing time in Parkhurst prison. Worse yet, he's about to be released. When he finds out his missus has been cheating on him with a Trotter, he goes looking for revenge.

When Del arranges a job redecorating a Chinese Restaurant, he unwisely decides to employ the services of Rodney 'Leonardo' Trotter and buys some paint from Trigger. It's only when they've finished painting and they receive a call from the owner of the Chinese restaurant that they realise the paint wasn't quite the golden colour they wanted.

Trotters' Independent Trading Company has been forced off the market, with the continuing downpour keeping most of Peckham indoors. Del then spots an opportunity for discounted family holiday to Spain and they all head off to warmer climes. But Grandad runs into a bit of trouble with the Spanish Police - something about the Spanish Civil War.

Chandelier cleaning is the Trotter's latest business opportunity. When they stop to help a posh sort who has broken down, Del overhears that the Lord of the Manor is having trouble getting his chandeliers cleaned. After offering his services, it's not long before Rodney and Del are up a ladder braced to catch the chandelier that Grandad is detaching from upstairs. Their hopes of a making a quick pound soon come crashing down.

It's Christmas in Peckham and Del's fallen hook, line and sinker for the lovely Heather...

The wear and tear of climbing twelve floors in Mandela House takes its toll as Grandad's legs finally give way. And after a visit to the Doctors' it is recommended that they seek some different housing for the Trotter family - on the ground floor. Rodney's new position as Chairman of the Housing Committee might be about to come in handy.

Rodney is taking stock of his life, and at the age of 24 he is disappointed to find he has only risen to become Del's look-out while they're on the make with dodgy goods. After a bit of soul-searching, Rodney breaks some big news to Del when he tells him that he's set up a rival business with Mickey Pearce.

The Trotters take a trip down to Cornwall to make use of Boycie's country cottage for a spot of salmon poaching. On the way down, a policeman stops them to warn of an escaped axe murderer on the loose in the area. Not wanting to miss out on a chance to make a few bob, Del ignores the objections of Rodney and Grandad. But then that night, there's a face at the window.

Del Boy enters the world of fine art dealing when he attempts to sell a posh antiques dealer a 'Queen Anne' original. She is wise to the ruse and coolly declines, only to meet Del again when she answers an ad in the local paper. She seems to have taken quite a shine to him, or is it just one of the paintings he has in stock?

Del Boy's arch-enemy from school turns up in Peckham, but this time he's known as Detective Inspector Slater from the Met Police. Having known Del and his wily ways since they were at school together, Slater knows exactly who to watch when he's on the trail of some stolen microwaves.

When Rodney helps a drunken woman on the street, he is stunned when she looks petrified, accuses him of man-handling her, and promptly cries 'rape!'. Del realises his little bruv must have encountered Blossom, a psychologically unhinged woman who is only allowed out in public on weekend breaks. Del decides to scare Rodney further with a concocted story about the police search for 'the Peckham Pouncer'.

Del arranges for Rodney and Grandad to redecorate Denzil and Corrine's flat. The problems begin when Rodney steams up the whole flat by leaving the kettle on, but the worst is yet to come when the paint fumes don't appear to agree with Corrine's pet budgie. Can Grandad find a replacement bird before she gets home?

Tis certainly the season to be jolly and it's Grand Mariner 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 rekindles an old romance with June, who he last saw around nineteen years ago, while Rodney is also lucky in love with a girl from the newsagents called Debby. It soon transpires that Debby is June's daughter, and it's almost her 19th birthday. Del and Rodney put two and two together, and decide that Debby may well be Del's daughter.

It's a sad time in the Trotter household as Del and Rodney try to cope with the unexpected death of Grandad. The funeral provides a surprise addition to their flat though, as among the mourners is Grandad's brother, a certain Uncle Albert. When he is left with nowhere to go, Del reluctantly lets the old boy move in and a whole new era begins for the Trotters.

The Trotters have fallen on hard times, largely due to Rodney's £500 investment in suntan lotion during one of the worst winters ever seen. But throughout all this trouble Uncle Albert keeps telling them that something will turn up. As Albert leaves the pub, he accidentally falls through an open cellar door, and the Trotters quickly come up with a way to get some cash.

Rodney has joined a new band, and Del immediately capitalises on this by booking them into The Shamrock Club to play for the St Patrick's night festivities. The gig descends into a fight and the band is forced to leg it, then when their instruments go missing Rodney tells the police. It turns out Del only had them on sale or return and Rodney's showbiz dreams are shattered.

For a mere £60 a week Del persuades Boycie and Marlene to entrust him with the care of their great dane puppy, Duke, when they go away on holiday. It's not long before Del and Rodney are worried the dog might have got salmonella from some leftover pork, but when they get home it turns out it's actually Uncle Albert who might need treatment.

Mickey Pearce bets Rodney that he won't bring a girl to the Saturday night bash in The Nag's Head. Del helps out by setting Rodney up with Yvonne, an old flame who he knows isn't too picky who she goes out with. It's all going well until half way through the big night when Yvonne takes centre stage and begins her act as a stripper.

Del uses Denzil's redundancy money to finance a dodgy louvre door deal. But when it falls through, Denzil and his five brothers come looking for their money. With nowhere else to go, the Trotters visit their mother's grave - a favourite refuge for Del in times of trouble. It's in the cemetery that Rodney spots a valuable rare butterfly that might just be the answer to their prayers.

The epic journey of a terminally seasick youth, an entrepreneur who hasn't washed for three days and a captain who's sunk every vessel he's ever sailed in... It all sounded pretty cushty, £15,000 just to collect some diamonds from Amsterdam for Boycie and Abdul. There are of course a few snags. There's some dodgy geezer called Van Cleef 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 bypass all the snags by boat...

When a German damsel turns up in the Nag's Head, she is definitely in distress - nine months’ worth of distress. Rodney is all beer and sympathy, but Del sees a way to turn it to account. Could this be the answer to Boycie and Marlene's dreams of a child?

Feeling guilty about his dodgy lifestyle, Del has a rare religious urge and heads to the confession booth of his local Catholic church. He is about to put some money into the collection box when Father O'Keith cries out that the statue of the Virgin Mary is weeping holy tears. Del decides it's a miracle and it needs publicising.

Del, Rodney, and Albert are mistakenly apprehended as shoplifters at the supermarket. Up in the manager's office they are soon joined by another shoplifter, Lennox Gibley. But Lennox has a gun and he's come to rob the safe. The only problem is, he's 15 minutes late and the safe doesn't open until 8am tomorrow morning. If only he hadn't bought that dodgy watch.

Del and Rodney are competing for the affections of Trigger's young niece, Lisa. When Rodney falls asleep on the sunbed, Del spots an opportunity to scupper his chances and whacks up the heat. A red-faced Rodney then has the perfect chance for revenge when Lisa says she is going hang-gliding. What better birthday gift for Del than to join her.

Rodney has received a £10,000 grant from the arts council to produce a video. He sets about to script the production, but Del has designs on the video gear. And Mickey knows a bird who is willing to star in his own production: Night Nurse.

Del's old business partner from the 1960s, Jumbo Mills, returns to the UK shores to strike a deal with Boycie. Jumbo has made his fortune after leaving rainy London for Australia with Del Boy's last £200. In an attempt to pay back this debt 'with interest', Jumbo asks Del to become the new face of his new import business - but it means a move to Australia for the Trotter family.

Rodney meets Vicky, a seemingly impoverished artist who it transpires is the daughter of the Duke of Maylebury in this Christmas special from 1986. After impressing her by obtaining a pair of tickets to the sold-out production of Carmen, Rodders is invited to a party at the Duke's country home. It seems romance may be on the cards... until Del Boy turns up.

Trotters Independent Trading is causing mayhem with their faulty RAJAH computers. Rodders gets a new job at a funeral directors, while Albert and Del hit the health market with their miracle cure body massagers. At the wedding of Trigger's niece, the Trotters hear the tale of Freddie the Frog, a bank robber and close friend of the boys' mother. He left everything in his will to their mum, including missing gold bullion. While Del hunts for treasure, Rodney puzzles over Freddie and his mother's friendship - and a son who would by now be his own age.

It's been a good month for Trotter's Independent Trading Company. 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 three-wheeler with Nervous Neris proves memorable for all the wrong reasons, Del's date as tycoon, Derek Duvale, has more success 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 actres". And it's not long before their lunch at the Hilton leads to things getting more serious. It looks like everything's working out jubbly until Albert's birthday knees-up is called to a halt by a couple in a naval uniform...

It's the age of city high fliers and yuppies, and Del - armed with his filofax, briefcase and red braces - is ready to make his first killing on the market. Meanwhile, Rodney's on the pull, having met the classy Cassandra at night school.

Del continues to deal in dodgy goods including video recorders, crates of tomatoes and, most lethal of all, a box of dolls he acquires from Denzil. For the safety of the Trotter household it is better they rid themselves of the dolls sooner rather than later.

Del strikes up a cushty deal for case of 18-carat chains. He manages to rope Mike, Boycie, Trigger, Albert and Rodney into a consortium in which no-one can lose. Or can they? Everything is looking good until their seller collapses with a heart attack at a business lunch. Albert soon smells a rat.

Rodney has won a Mediterranean holiday for three, courtesy of Del and the Megaflakes drawing competition. The only snag is that the competition was for kids, and he has to pretend he is a 14-year-old all week. Poor little Rodney has to endure the Fun Bus, hang around with chaotic children, and become a lifelong member of The Groovy Gang.

Del is suffering from terrible stomach pains and the health salts are not helping. However, he is still determined not to visit the doctors, so Rodney and Uncle Albert have to do some clever plotting to get him down to the local surgery.

Rodney thinks he's failed his diploma in computer science, which could cost him a good job at Cassandra's father's company. On top of that, he can't come up with his share of the dosh for the new flat he and Cassandra plan to buy. Will Del be able to raise the funds in time for the wedding, while avoiding his debt to the Driscoll brothers?

The unforgettable special feature length Christmas cracker from 1989 in which Del meets Raquel again and Rodney jumps to disastrous concludsions with Cassandra. It's a typically tearaway Trotter's treat - an extra large helping of luvvly jubbly... Del is organising the annual beano to Margate, the traditional Jolly Boys' Outing. Buy Rodney and Cassandra have just celebrated their first wedding anniversary and she's worried about him going out with the boys - especially as she's angling for a promotion with her yuppie boss. When Rodders 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 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 dietry distress, Rodders decides to return to the Trotter nest. But just as Del's romantic room-sharing plans 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...

Del is delighted that Raquel has finally agreed to move into his room. Meanwhile, Rodney's attempt to win back Cassandra is hampered by Del and Boycie's satellite dish escapades.

Del's latest money-spinner is 1,000 musical doorbells which play the National Anthem. Raquel, meanwhile, is rehearsing for Shakespeare's As You Like It - but does she stand a chance with the ever-helpful Del at her side?

With Raquel pregnant, Del can't resist the offer of £600 for putting on a cabaret show. But too late he discovers that macho Latino crooner, Tony Angelino, has a problem with singing the 'wight' words.

A school reunion in the Nag's Head is ruined when Roy Slater turns up. No one likes a bent copper, even if he has just come out of prison, and Slater has been responsible for arresting most of them there. But has he turned over a new leaf?

Street crime is affecting the tenants of Nelson Mandela House, and when Uncle Albert is mugged Del decides to take the law into his own hands. After all, the law has taken him into their hands often enough.

Is it his sudden vegetarianism or another row with Cassandra that is making Rodney look so down these days? Del has other things on his mind right now, what with a job lot of wigs to shift and the baby due any day now.

It's Damien Trotter's christening, and Del is making the most of the opportunity to strike a "cushdy" deal with the Vicar trading pre-blessed wine. Meanwhile, with their marriage on the rocks, it is a chance for godparents Rodney and Cassandra to talk things through. But when Del sees some tickets to Florida for sale at the travel agents, he manipulates Rodney's marital strife to gain himself the holiday of a lifetime.

With Del handling the accommodation and transport for their week's holiday in America, it's not surprising that he and Rodney end up in a dodgy camper-van. But things get even worse when the van disappears while they are in a swish nightclub.

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 he needs 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 worries. He's pulled at the dentists and, as all hell breaks out on the streets of Peckham, is onto a winner with the latest Russian - infra-red, see-in-the-dark video cameras.

Trotters Independent Traders Company (TITCO) remains commercially unviable. Del is stuck with 125 unpredictable Latvian radio alarms, the council have rejected his home improvement grant application and Rodders 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 Doctor 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 Rodders, 'accustomed to the security of an irregular wage', is applying for a new job. Can the Trotter business empire survive without him?

Raquel's parents are coming to lunch so Del pulls out all the stops - if only Uncle Albert knew the difference between coffee and gravy granules. The next morning, Rodders' stock-take reveals Trotters Independent Traders Company's assets as an artificial leg, some Showaddywaddy LPs and a broken watch. But Raquel's father knows a bit about antiques and spots something that will change their lives forever. Could it really be that "this time next week" they'll be millionaires?

It's been five years since those loveable siblings, Del and Rodney, drove off into the sunset to the tune of £6.5 million. Now they're back and thanks to a dodgy South American investment, Trotters Independent Trading Company 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 Trading Co. needs capital - pronto. So when the brothers decide to travel to Normandy to represent 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, they bring back an illegal immigrant and somehow become the internationally hunted 'Gary Gang'.

After 22 years in Nelson Mandela Towers, 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 Nags, previously flat-chested Marlene appears with a pneumatic bosom and they turn up an amusing old 60s photograph including a chap (Freddy the Frog, the Raffles of Peckham) who looks uncannily like Rodders...
