By The Sky's The Limit Rodney was back living at the flat and boozing his sorrows away, while Del causes airport chaos when he tries to help Boycie with a replacement satellite dish, unknowingly disrupting Rodney's hopes of a reconciliation with Cassandra.

Life was also about to change forever for Del Boy when Raquel drops a bombshell in The Chance of a Lunchtime. For most of the episode he's worrying about her leaving to take a job on a theatre tour, but her decision becomes a simple one when she discovers she's pregnant. Rodney then drops his own bombshell by resigning from his job at Alan, his father in laws, printing works, after mistakenly thinking Alan wouldn't accept it.

If Rodney Come Home was rather downbeat in tempo then Stage Fright can only really be described as full-speed Only Fools at its very best. It's a classic John Sullivan script with the sort of twist that makes the show stand out of from the rest.

Del turns impresario when he hires singing dustman Tony Angelino - a bravado performance by Philip Pope - to sing at a birthday party and everything goes fine until Del decides to play around with Tony's usual repertoire, or rather his wepertoire. The climax of the episode was clearly as hilarious for the cast as well as the viewers, for if you look carefully, you can almost see them laughing.
