Only Fools and Horses (1981)

A Touch of Glass (Series 2, 1982) The chandelier episode. Del talks his way into cleaning the antique chandeliers at a lord's country house for £350, and the careful plan for taking one down is set up so patiently that the moment Grandad unscrews the wrong one lands like a punch. Fans voted the chandelier drop the second greatest moment in the show's history in a Radio Times poll for its 40th anniversary. It runs under half an hour and needs no backstory, which makes it the ideal first episode for a newcomer.
