Rodney
meets Vicky, a seemingly impoverished artist who it transpires
is the daughter of the Duke of Maylebury.
Having
obtained a pair of tickets to the sold-out production of Carmen,
Rodders seems to have deeply impressed Vicky. She is less
taken by the presence of Del
and his peroxide blonde dolly bird. Especially when they open
the crisps.
Vicky
then invites Rodney to a party at the DukeÂ’s country
home, and it seems romance may be on the cards. Then Del Boy
turns up, hits the vino-plonko and ruins everything for his
little brother.
Fred
Tomlinson whistled on the soundtrack over David JasonÂ’s
over-dubbed whistle in the opera scene.
Del:
The boy stood on the burning deck, the water shone
like glass. A burning ember flew down his neck, and
burnt him on the a...nkle.
