| When the Green Woods Laugh: Part 1
You can see why Yorkshire Television wanted David Jason for this series.

They can have their own Del Boy. There was a lot of wheelin dealin and lovely jubbly in this one.

Pop even manages to carelessly burn down his own barn with surplus army supplies inside it. What a plonker.

Pop gets Sir George Bluff-Gore to sell his mansion to him for £5000. However Pop soon has another buyer lined up, someone from the city who are looking for something nice in the country. Pop oversells the mansion to them and makes a tidy profit. Perfick!

A mini reunion of the cast of Victoria Wood: As seen on TV in this one. Both Susie Blake and Celia Imrie feature.
