As you may notice by my other reviews, I am a major fan of the 'Only Fools and Horses' series. There are only two I haven't seen and that's 'Rodney Come Home' and
This is a good episode and full of laughs. The one major disadvantage is that it is over 2 hours long and they seem to stretch it out too far. They still manage to fill it up with laughs though!
This episode begins with the christening of Del and Raquels' baby Damien. Del manages to persuade the vicar after the christening to purchase a bulk order of wine to bless by the lorry load and ear a profit by selling to churches all over the nation. Of course, there is something in it for him. The only problem is, that the wine does not represent the colour of christ's blood as it is white! However, Del has already gone off to Miami with Rodney, leaving Raquel to sort things out!
The trip to Miami actually takes place to Del's advantage. He convinces Rodney to purchase some tickets to Miami for him and Cassandra knowing fully well that Cassandra will be away with work. Rodney ends up with two tickets in the name of Trotter but he doesn't want to go alone. Del manages to push his way in and persuades Rodney to take him along.
Everybody thinks they are Australian.
Whilst out there, their luggage gets stolen and they become the main target for the local Mafia. What Rodney and Del don't realise is that the leader is about to go down for a large number of murders and he Del looks the spitting image of him. The Mafia try to kill Del off so as to look like the leader of the mafia has died and can not be tried for murder. This all goes wrong and back fires. A bullet misses Del as he bends down to pick up his dumpling and a dodgy water ski aimed to lose Del at sea ends up aiming towards safety. Del and Rodney manage to escape only to bump into Boycie and Marleen in the middle of a wooded area.
Del and Rodney think they are coming home to peace and quiet, but no………. they come back to a flat full of white wine returned by the church.
The whole of the world are looking for 2 Australian guys - hence Del and Rodney!
This is a very good episode of the series and I recommend you buy it.
