The ReviewBrief: Delboy falls for posh tart Miranda, when
she comes to view a 'Queen Anne Cabinet' - but Miranda is more
interested in the painting that the boys' Gran lifted from her art
dealer employer. Still with plenty of woodworm about, Harry will
have to be careful with his wooden leg. Transmitted: 01.12.1983 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 10.6 million
Del Boy enters the world of fine art when he attempts to pull
the wool over 'posh tart' antique dealer Miranda Davenport. He
unsuccessfully tries to tell her a rickety old cabinet is in fact a
'Queen Anne' original, but wise to the ruse, she coolly
declines.
Her attitude towards Del does warm when she responds to an
advertisement placed by the Trotters in the local paper. When a
painting Del has in stock catches her eye, Miranda soon worms her
way into Del's affections and in no time at all, he has given her
the painting as a gift.
Keen to see her again, Del pays a visit to her shop, and is
informed that she's at the local auction house. Arriving at the
auction, Miranda seems quite surprised to see him there, but not as
half as surprised as Del Boy when Lot 24 is announced.
The Lot turns out to be Del's painting - a valuable work by
19th century painter Joshua Blythe that Miranda is hoping to make a
huge profit on. It seems like Miranda has stung Del good and
proper, but as usual, he has the last laugh when he informs her
that she's actually selling stolen property.
