Del Boy is offered a tidy sum to smuggle diamonds in from Amsterdam for Boycie and Abdul, and for once the whole thing seems almost sensible. The catch is that DCI Slater is sniffing about at the airport, so the Trotters take the scenic route: a hired boat from Hull, with Uncle Albert in charge of the navigation. What could possibly go wrong? At a feature-length 90 minutes, it is a cracking Christmas Day caper, with Rodney dragged along as ever. Make a cuppa, find the good chair and bring your sea legs.
