Synopsis
The unforgettable special feature-length Christmas cracker from 1989 in which Del meets Raquel again and Rodney jumps to disastrous conclusions with Cassandra. It's a typically tearaway Trotter's treat - an extra large helping of luvvly jubbly...

Del is organising the annual beano to Margate, the traditional Jolly Boys' Outing. But Rodney and Cassandra have just celebrated their first wedding anniversary and she's worried about him going out with the boys - especially as she's angling for promotion with her yuppie boss. When Rodders is arrested and the whole party is stranded by a very nasty accident, her worst fears are realised. But there's more to Margate than chips, cockles, ice-cream, doughnuts, Pina Colada and lobster vindaloo. There's magician The Great Ramondo and his assistant Raquel.

Customer Reviews

Beware of an edited version of this Xmas Special
Once again the Beeb have released an edited version of this Xmas special without notice on the sleeve. There is a good 8-10 minutes missing from the nightclub scene where Del and Rodney talk about his marriage problems. The scene is crucial to events that happen later and there is no justification for leaving it out...

This special is one of the best they made but spoiled by being incomplete!!!

One of the very best!
There is no such thing as a bad OFAH episode. The worst episode would be better than the best episode of another sitcom. On that note, Jolly Boy's Outing was truly one of the funniest and best ever. I could not stop laughing throughout.

I won't be buying Only Fools & Horses DVDs again! Why are the BBC releasing DVDs with scenes cut?
Why have the BBC released it with a good 10 minutes of scenes cut? I've read that a lot of the Only Fools and Horses DVDs are like that. Why have the BBC done that? It completely spoils it for me. If you bought a book with pages missing you wouldn't be happy, so why settle for this. Do the BBC think their licence fee paying public are too thick to notice? I'm completely at a loss to understand why they do this!
