Only Fools and Horses (1981)

Dates (Christmas special, 1988) The special that introduces Raquel, played by Tessa Peake-Jones, who was meant to appear once and became the love of Del's life. Del signs up with a computer dating agency and passes himself off as an import-export manager, while Rodney's night out with Nervous Nerys ends in a crashed police car. The big reveal at Albert's birthday party is a classic misunderstanding, and the ending finds Del under arrest. Start here if you want the romance that drives the later years.
