Synopsis
Meet Derek Duvale - suave, sophisticated tycoon, and alter-ego of dodgy dealer Delboy Trotter. His ambition is to meet a girl who's refined enough to tell the difference between a bottle of Liebfraumilch and a bottle of Tizer. Only Fools and Horses - Dates is the feature-length episode first broadcast on Christmas Day 1988. It's been a good month for Trotter's Independent Trading Company. The unprecedented demand for ladies razors has meant Del and Rodney can escape the daily struggle for a while and enjoy life's rewards.
Their attention turns to romance as Rodney scores a date with Nervous Nerys - an afternoon cruise in the three-wheeler which proves memorable for all the wrong reasons. Del joins a new computer dating agency and is excited about meeting Raquel, who's "not a bird, she's an actress" and sets out to impress her by taking her to lunch at the Hilton. Things are starting to get more serious and it looks like everything is going to work out 'lovely jubbly'.. that is until Uncle Albert's birthday knees-up celebration is called to a halt by a couple in naval uniform. The usual cast of rogues - Trigger, Boycie, Marlene and Mike - are on hand to assist our Peckham pioneers along the smooth path of life, love and laughs.

This is definately the start of the 2nd phase in OFAH. Del finnaly finds love which is marking the end of the womanisng and go free delboy. This is where OFAH changes for me, not for worse by no means, but it evolves like it should with Del getting older and Rodney aiming for bigger and better things and it also being one of the episodes in which we see Del realy hurt in a relationship (after the Raquels real job scene).
If your an OFAH nut like myself or just enjoy the show, this is definately a marker in the series.

Christmas special starring David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst. Del boy has signed up to a dating agency to find himself a "bird" and Rodney is taking Nervous Nerys out on date, cruising in the three wheel van. Trouble is, Dels date turns out to be the stripper at Uncle Alberts party and Rodneys date is so terrified after there cruise that she'll never be the same again!

One of the best Christmas specials from the Trotters in the series!
Having found his 'actress' of a girlfriend, Del boy thinks hes found his perfect partner...until its time for the little suprise at uncle Albert's birthday party!
And not to forget Rodney (the James Dean look) and the 3 wheeled van bing chased around Peckham, with nervous Nerris as his date!
But who could forget that gem of a finale with Del and the coppers?... need i say more?
A laugh a minute sitcom, and not called a classic for nothing!

A very funny special which falls short of a 5* rating only because I found To Hull and Back & the Jolly Boys Outing consistently funnier. Read more
