Rodneys reading a book and Grandad's cooking (and ruining) the christmas dinner. Del Boy comes in and Rodney complains about having to eat Grandad's dinner. Del tells him he has to eat it so he doesn't hurt Grandad's feelings. Later the eat the dinner and Grandad has under cooked the Turkey and left the gibblets inside. Even later Rodney and Del are watching the telly and Rodney wants to go to a club as he's bored. Del says no; he cant go out on christmas night leaving Grandad on his own. But Grandad is off to the Communitie Center has he doesn't want to listen to their arguing. Del and Rodney then go to a bar where the can't get a seat. They see a sea with two girls on it and both try to go and chat them up. But they both stop one another as the other is doing it wrong. Finally Del asks them if they are leaving. They say yes thinking Del is inviting them to his flat. However Del says good we can have your seats and then sits down on one! This eppisode, in my oppinione , is the worst ever episode but i still like it. The acting is good and it has some good gags but it doesn't have a good plot!
