It's been a good month for Trotter's Independent Trading Company. The unprecedented demand for ladies razors has meant Del (David Jason) and Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) can escape the daily struggle for a while and enjoy life's rewards.

Uncle Albert's (Buster Merryfield)'s unmissable hints about his forthcoming birthday means there's a celebration on the cards and the new computer dating agency means romance is in the air. While Rodney's afternoon cruise in the three-wheeler with Nervous Neris (Andrée Bernard) proves memorable for all the wrong reasons, Del's date as tycoon, Derek Duvale, has more success in finding himself 'a local bird that won't need too much driving'. His ambitions to meet a girl who's refined enough to tell the difference between a bottle of Liebfraumilch and a bottle of Tizer seem to have been met by Raquel (Tessa Peake-Jones), who's 'not a bird, she's an actress'. And it's not long before their lunch at the Hilton leads to things getting more serious. It looks like everything's working out jubbly until Albert's birthday knees-up is called to a halt by a couple in naval uniform...
