30/12/1990 The Sky's the Limit (49' 57")
Raquel has moved in with Del, as has the newly separated Rodney.
When Rodders isn't asleep on the couch he's drinking too much, or nursing hangovers. While
Cassandra and her mother travel to Spain for a holiday, Alan Parry - Cassie's Dad and Rodney's boss - visits Del Boy and
confides he was hoping to leave his business to the couple. They hatch a plot to arrange a second honeymoon for them. Rodney pays £250 for their trip, and waits for Cassandra to arrive at Gatwick airport.
When he learns the real reason behind her flight being diverted, Del has some serious explaining to
do. As the brothers argue over who’s technique is best, the objects of their affections are whisked away from under
their noses.
06/01/1991 The Chance of a Lunchtime
(49' 06")
Raquel wants to revive her theatrical passions and audition for Shakespeare's As You Like
It. Naturellement, Derek volunteers to help her rehearse. Rodney and Cassandra
meet for a meal both thinking that the other made the first move, and without realising Del
has set them up. Things seem to be going well, until Rodney clambers out of a cab with Del's
ex-fiance Trudy… just as Cassie arrives and leaps to the wrong conclusion. Raquel
tells Derek she won't be taking the part in the play. She shouldn't tour when she's pregnant.
13/01/1991 Stage Fright (49' 34")
Del's
old friend is putting a cabaret night on at The Starlight Rooms. With Raquel now pregnant, Del
can't resist the offer of £600 for putting on the show. When the Trotters discover
this cabaret is being held by local villain Eugene Macarthy, in honour of his mother's 82nd birthday, the pressure's on. Raquel
tells Del that she forgets her lines and needs another singer work with too. They find:
Tony Angelino, he's cheesier than cheddar. Del
legs it when the act starts badly, fearing for his safety. He is surprised to receive a phone call from Eugene. He wants to book them again. His mother's never laughed as much.
20/01/1991 The Class of '62 (48'
45")

is trying to shift the Futafax. So far his only customer is Mike at The Nag's Head. Raquel
is disturbed by a letter from her solicitor, warning that they have traced her ex-husband, who is considering her request
for a divorce. Meanwhile Mike has organised a school reunion, and the regulars
all turn up to meet their old friends. The only old friend to turn up is bent copper Roy Slater. After a few drinks, all is
forgiven. Just as Trig, Del, Boycie and Denzil begin to believe that he really
has changed for the better, Del discovers the real reason for his return... he is the ex-husband and he wants to blackmail
the Trotters. Derek has other ideas, however.

Director of Commercial Development. Del meanwhile is arranging to buy their flat in Nelson Mandela House. Uncle Albert is going to the Over-Sixties Club on the estate and is chatting up a lady called Dora Lane. One night, he arrives at the flat, bruised and shaken.

being home, something is not right. Uncle Albert disappears. After much thought,
the boys find him, but a visit from Knock Knock reveals the truth about the black eye.
03/02/1991 Three Men, a Woman and
a Baby (49' 08")
Del
is trying to flog wigs for men to a bunch of 'old tarts' at The Nags Head. Cassandra gives Rodders the push for lacking ambition
and not being part of the marriage. Rodney has also turned vegetarian, much to
the mockery of the rest of the Trotter clan. When he receives a call from Cassie asking him to visit her, he plays it cool.
She is unimpressed at the attachable ponytail he wears to impress her when he arrives.
In no time they are back together, and very much in love. Their embrace is interrupted by a phone call. Raquel has
gone into labour.
