The ReviewBrief: When a German damsel turns up in the
Nag's Head she's definitely in distress - and nine months pregnant
at that. Rodney's all beer and sympathy but Del's got an idea -
could this be the answer to Boycie and Marlene's dreams of a child
and a golden opportunity to make a few bob along the way?. Transmitted: 31.08.1985 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 12.1 million
It's closing time at The Nag's Head, and Mike the landlord is
having problems clearing everyone out, particularly a young
pregnant foreign girl who doesn't seem to speak Peckham
English.
Del and Rodney offer to help, and despite Del Boy's dodgy
French, they work out that Anna is from Germany, and she's been
chucked out on the street and was considering getting her child
adopted.
They leave Rodney to take Anna to a hotel, but he ends up
bringing her back to the flat, where she explains that, Spencer,
the son of the family she was working for as an au pair got her
pregnant and then denied it all.
After fuming about Rodney bringing another 'waif and stray'
home, Del Boy considers what can be done with Anna's unwanted baby
- and the first person he thinks of is Boycie. For year's Marlene
and Boycie have been trying for a child, with no success, and now
for a mere three grand, Del is offering them the chance to have
their very own baby boy.
The stress is clearly getting to Anna, and she begins to go
into labour. Later on Del, Boycie and Marlene all gather round in
the lounge waiting for Anna and Rodney return from hospital. All is
well until Rodney lets Del Boy know that the Anna's baby is a
girl... and that Spencer's parents were actually West Indian!
