The ReviewBrief: D.I. Slater (The Slag) is on the track
of a stolen microwave oven & Delboy is in the frame. Still Del
knows who did it, so Del pulls off a classic deal with Roy. Transmitted: 08.12.1983 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 10.6 million
Del Boy's arch-enemy from school turns up in Peckham, but this
time he's known as Detective Inspector Slater from the Met Police.
Having known Del and his wily ways since they were at school
together, Slater knows exactly who to watch when he's on the trail
of some stolen microwaves.
Hapless Rodney has no idea who Slater is when he gets chatting
to him in The Nags Head. It's only when he sees the horror on Del's
face, after bringing Slater back to the flat for a reunion meal,
that Rodney realises something is wrong
Despite Rodney's best efforts, the game appears to be up - one
of the microwaves in question is sitting on the sideboard in full
view of everybody. Slater immediately begins to question Del, and
after threatening Rodney with fictitious drug charges, he forces
Del to turn snitch.
Much against his better judgement, Del decides to protect his
little brother and spills the beans, but only after bartering for
immunity for the whole Trotter family.
