Which only fools and horses episode is this trailer from?

This trailer appeared on you tube recently and i must admit it got me guessing. I beleive it must be Christmas Crackers for a few reasons. Firstly the fact it has a 35 minute slot, which fits in with this episode.
also the music was from series one, “so I think i cracked it Bamber”, but i’m open to your thoughts too.

old only fools and horses trailer

My guess is Christmas Crackers

shown on Boxing Day 1981
Transmitted: 28.12.1981
Duration: 35 minutes

The one where Rodney has ran out of yuletide cheer, as the annual routing of the Trotter festivities are wearing thin. Burnt turkey, charred Christmas pudding, the same old things on television, and nothing but a book lent to him by Mickey Pierce: ‘Body Language: The Lost Art.’

More details on this episode : Christmas Crackers

As normal all other trailers are showing a preview section of the show except only fools. This clip shows a version that hasn’t even been cut yet. I often remeber hearing how the only fools production team will be up until the day before broadcast editing and splicing together the final cut.
Every fan dreams of the day all the cuts get put onto one almighty blu-ray disc!

Take this video to around 3 minutes 30 to see the trailer…

You get the idea as Del would certainly have all sorts of attempts. Liam says “I need a few ideas but i was wondering if maybe you could do a poll on the website for ideas what line of business Del and Rodney could put before the dragons.”

Nelson Mandela House 2 bedroom flat to rent for £1200

It boasts to bedrooms and a lift, though i belive the layout is slightly different to the one Del used as the entrance way has changed on the floor plans.

The block of flats are believed to have a limited time before being redeveloped

This flat is within easy walking distance to both Acton Town and South Acton stations and the amenities of the High Street.

Reception – 4.84m x 3.51m (15′ 11″ x 11′ 6″)
