The ReviewBrief: Delboy gets the chance to make a new
start (and to become a millionaire) in Australia -fronting Jumbo
Mill's used car business. This was originally planned to be the
last episode with Del leaving to go to Australia. Transmitted: 05.10.1986 Duration: 30 minutes Viewing Figures: 18.8 million
Del's old business partner from the 1960s, Jumbo Mills,
returns to the UK shores to strike a deal with Boycie, and ends up
rubbing everyone up the wrong way in The Nag's Head.
Jumbo has made himself rich Down Under, after leaving rainy
London for Australia with Del Boy's last £200. In an attempt
to pay back this debt 'with interest', Jumbo asks Del to become the
new face of his new import business - but it means a move to
Australia for the Trotter family.
After making sure Rodney and Albert have a place in Oz, Del
Boy agrees to join Jumbo's firm, but things don't go as smoothly as
that. Tired of wandering the globe, Albert decides he wants to end
his days in Peckham, and it looks like Rodney's criminal record has
put paid to his dream trip.
Regardless of this, Del still seems keen to go, but when he
picks up the phone to confirm the plan to Jumbo, he politely turns
him down - reluctantly admitting that blood is thicker than
water.
