You already know the one. It’s “Miami Twice,” the 1991 Christmas special, but the real magic happens in Part Two. The Trotters finally hit the jackpot. And I mean the actual jackpot—a watch worth millions. After years of “next year, Rodney,” it’s here.
But here’s the kicker: it’s not just the money that makes it perfect. It’s Del Boy’s face when he realizes they’re rich. It’s the quiet, almost shy way he looks at his brother. For a show that lives on banter and chaos, that moment of pure, earned success is like a heavyweight champion finally winning the title. It’s beautiful.
The “Classic” Chaos Episode
If you want pure, unadulterated slapstick, you go straight to “The Jolly Boys’ Outing.” The lads hire a minibus for a day trip to Margate. It starts with a stolen briefcase and ends with a multi-car pile-up involving a fake nun. You cannot make this up.
Watching Trigger, Del, and Rodney completely ruin a perfectly good day is like watching a car crash in slow motion—only funnier. It’s the episode where Del’s famous “This time next year, we’ll be millionaires” optimism gets absolutely flattened by reality. The sheer carnage is glorious.
