The ReviewBrief: Faced with the opportunity of buying 250
18 carat gold chains from retired jeweller, Arnie, Del can't
resist. Hastily a business consortium is formed. Everything's
pretty cushty until Arnie's taken ill just as the deal is about to
be sealed and Del is left feeling that all that glitters... Transmitted: 22.01.1989 Duration: 50 minutes Viewing Figures: 16.3 million
Del strikes up a cushty deal with a retired jewellery dealer
called Arnie. When a case of 18-carat gold chains is offered to
him, Del agrees buy them to the tune of £12,500.
Despite Rodney's objections, Derek ropes Mike, Boycie,
Trigger, Albert and... Rodney into a consortium in which no-one can
lose.
A spanner is thrown into the works when Arnie collapses at a
business lunch, seemingly struck by a heart-attack. The ambulance
whisks him away, with both the jewellery and twelve-and-a-half
grand still on his person.
Despite being dead, Rodney spots Arnie collapsing and being
whisked away from another restaurant.
They've been had, but no-one pulls a fast one quicker than the
Trotters and revenge is the only dish on the menu at Arnie's next
meal.
