Only Fools And Horses: Series 7, Episode 2 - The Chance Of A Lunchtime - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Raquel attends an audition and, despite Del's help, she gets the part. But fortune has a knack of spoiling the best laid plans...

Further details

Raquel wants to revive her theatrical passions and audition for Shakespeare's As You Like It. Naturellement, Derek volunteers to help her rehearse.

Rodney and Cassandra meet for a meal both thinking that the other made the first move, and without realising Del has set them up. Things seem to be going well, until Rodney clambers out of a cab with Del's ex-fiance Trudy... just as Cassie arrives and leaps to the wrong conclusion.

Raquel tells Derek she won't be taking the part in the play. She shouldn't tour when she's pregnant.
