After years of market stalls, dodgy deals and a certain yellow three-wheeler, the Trotters finally face the moment Del Boy has promised for as long as anyone can remember: this time next year, they will be millionaires. Peckham has heard it all before, of course. What follows is the hour-long finale to the show's classic run, and it mixes the daft with the properly emotional, so if you have been with the family from the start, keep a hanky handy. Funny, loving and a bit bittersweet, it is often the last stop on a Christmas Only Fools marathon, and a fine one at that.
