Christmas Trees Episode Review<\/h2>\n

Brief:<\/strong> Dels latest line is selling telescopic Xmas trees. Maybe a bit of advertising down the local church wouldn’t do any harm. Will Del understand the ethics involved? -This is the rarest and most sort after episode ever made.<\/p>\n

Transmitted: 27.12.1982
\nDuration:\u00a08 minutes
\nViewing Figures:\u00a07.2 million<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite knocking the price down to a mere six quid, Del Boy can’t shift his telescopic Christmas trees (lights, bangles, beads and baubles inclusive). He only has 149 more to sell to make a tidy profit.<\/p>\n

Stuck for a solution the Trotters decamp to Sid’s burger van. Del’s conscience seems to get the better of him, and he tells Rodney and Grandad what a shame it is that the market traders can’t afford to donate a tree to the local church this year. Especially the little orphans.<\/div>\n
Left to guard the trees, Rodney steals away to the church.<\/div>\n
The Vicar quickly debunks Del’s story, and Rodders realises the tale was a scam to get an endorsement from The Church of England.<\/div>\n
