The Review
Brief: Del's swooping in on a deal of a lifetime - it could keep them in Pilau rice forever. All he has to do is get hold of £2000 to buy a poxy Indian statue... Trouble is, he hasn't reckoned on a touch of gang war fare... Mr Ram and Vimmal aren't the easiest guys to please.
Transmitted: 22.9.1981 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 7.3 million
Eager to forge new business contacts, Del befriends Vimmal
Malik, a wealthy businessman who seems eager to work with Trotters
Independent Traders.
After a dance at the Camberwell Chamber of Trade, Del and
Vimmal are cornered by Mr Ram and his heavy boys. It seems that
Vimmal is holding onto a pricey porcelain family heirloom that
belongs to the Ram family - and they want it back.
In order to make an impression, Del offers to mediate between
the two men, especially because Mr Ram is willing to pay four grand
for the return of the statue to his family.
Unluckily for Del the four grand is just a ruse and he ends up
losing a fortune to Vimmal and Mr Ram, a couple of conmen touring
the country using the same scam on local businessmen wherever they
go.
