The ReviewBrief: The Trotter family will be evicted from their home in this possibly final episode (from never say never - John Sullivan). They face losing their home after being pursued by the taxman, originally mentioned in "If they could see us now". Rodney also becomes a dad for the first time when wife Cassandra gives birth.
Transmitted: 25.12.2003 Del Boy and Rodders return to our
screens, this Christmas, in the third of three specials written by
John Sullivan.
The Trotters have had a turbulent couple
of years. After becoming millionaires in 1996, they burst back on
the box, after a five year gap, for viewers to realise they had
lost the money. The high life in Monte Carlo was replaced by the
low life in Peckham as they found themselves owing a large amount
of money to the Inland Revenue. Del Boy even tried to win the money
they owed by appearing as a contestant on a television quiz show -
but Rodders two GCE's were of no help and they went home empty
handed.
Rodney and Cassandra had tried to inject
some fun into their relationship, with a little help from some
fancy dress costumes. Unfortunately for them Del caught them as
'Gladiator' Rodney and 'Police Woman' Cassandra hotted things up in
the flat. The second episode took the Trotters on a trip to France
where they ended up bringing back more than the booze they
bargained for. They inadvertently smuggled an unwilling illegal
immigrant.
In Sleepless In Peckham, the third and
final instalment, Del Boy and family have only two weeks to find
the cash to pay the Inland Revenue, or they will be evicted from
their home in Nelson Mandela House. After 22 years in the flat, it
could be goodbye, something Del and Rodney are determined will not
happen.
Meanwhile Trigger has become fascinated
by science fiction and is enthralled by programmes such as The
X-Files, which leads to some bizarre moments from him - who it
could be said lives on a planet all of his own anyway.
