Transmitted: ??.??.1984 Duration: 27 minutes Viewing Figures: Never Broadcast
The plot of the story is how Del Boy 'educates' Rodney and
Grandad in all things oil. Telling them of its many by products,
and how it affects us in everything we do. From the Corn Flakes we
eat in the morning (no they don't actually contain oil) to the
clothes we wear and the fertiliser we use on the allotment. They
then watch a programme 'on BBC 2' about Oil Exploration. After
watching the documentary Rodney asks the most poignant question we
are all thinking, which is 'What I don't understand Del is why
you're so suddenly interested in oil?' Del's obvious response is
'co's we are gonna earn out of it'. He then tells Rodney and
Grandad that he has bought an oil rig for £400, and how it is
in a lock up in Catford. Rodney then explains how this cannot be
possible, and Del finally realises he has been conned.
