Christmas 1988, and Trigger's luck with a computer dating agency has Del Boy signing up too. He swaggers in as the boss of an import-export business, meets aspiring actress Raquel and, for once, things go suspiciously well. Meanwhile Rodney's date with Nervous Nerys ends with a van, a red light and a very surprised police car, and Uncle Albert's birthday knees-up at the Nag's Head has a surprise lined up that only Del could have booked. Feature-length, rowdy and sweet by turns, it is the special that brings Raquel into the Trotter story and a proper festive treat for fans.
