The ReviewBrief: Del's on to a great money making scheme
- looking after Boycie and Marlene's new puppy Dukie for a steal at
60 quid a week. Should be a doddle - a bit of the old Pedigree Chum
and they should be away. Then Dukie falls victim to Salmonella
poisoning. Transmitted: 21.03.1985 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 18.7 million
In an attempt to earn an easy £60 a week, Del persuades
Boycie and Marlene to entrust him with the care of their Great Dane
puppy, Duke, while they are away on holiday.
Whilst out on a walk, Rodney notices that the dog is a bit
sluggish, and they decide to take it to the vets. Del and Rodney
think that the dog may have eaten some reheated pork leftovers for
breakfast, and the vet quickly informs them that Duke has probably
caught Salmonella.
It's only when they get home that they realise Albert has
eaten the other half of the pork, and they quickly rush him to
hospital.
When Albert's gets discharged from hospital a few days later,
with a clean bill of health, Del boy discovers that Rodney has been
giving Albert's sleeping pills to Duke, and the dog's vitamin
supplements to Albert.
