Watching the Girls Go By
The ReviewBrief: Rodders is desperate for a woman,
nothing new there. Del set's Rodney up with a date Yvonne, but when
she gets to the do at the Nag's Head she makes Rodney wish he
hadn't. Transmitted: 28.03.1985 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 14.4 million
Rodney is taking some stick from the lads down the pub about
his 'imaginary' girlfriend, and Mickey Pearce bets him fifty that
he won't bring a girl to the Saturday night bash in The Nag's
Head.
When Rodney admits to Del that he was lying about the girl
he's going to bring on Saturday night, his big brother sets about
trying to get him a date.
On the Friday night, the two brothers head out clubbing, and
despite trying almost every club in London, they end up in a seedy
little bar in search of a date for Rodney. As luck would have it,
Del boy spots Yvonne, an old flame who he knows isn't too picky who
she goes out with, and he offers to pay her part of the winnings
from Rodney's bet if she'll escort his little bruv the following
night.
When Rodney gets home from The Nag's Head on Saturday night
he's in tears. Apparently, the date went well, until halfway
through the evening when Yvonne takes centre stage in the pub and
begins her act as a stripper - in front of all of Rodney's
mates.
Del boy tries to console Rodders with the thought of his
£50 winnings, but it turns out the bet was for fifty pence,
not pounds.
