Synopsis
Raquel is now three months pregnant, and Del Boy finds another chance to become a millionaire when Starlight Rooms, which is managed by an old acquaintance, Eric, takes good action. Del believes that Raquel's previous experience as a singer made him perfect for the role. Raquel tells Del that his lawyer is trying to find her ex-husband, and Del manages to convince Raquel to marry him. He also revealed that he should be in court within a week to do the ball throw.
Later, at the Down by the Riverside, Del and Rodney met Trigger's friend Tony Angelino, Singing Dustman, who had arranged himself after Tom Jones and sang - quite well - to the various old ladies who cheered for him. Del thinks that Tony will be the perfect singing partner for Raquel. He then gets Tony to sign the contract, as well as telling all about the upcoming performance in the Starlight Room with Raquel. Tony agrees to perform, with Raquel as his partner, Del as their manager, and Rodney as their roadie. Tony warns Del that he can only sing certain songs, but Del assures him that everything will be all right.
The next day at The Nag's Head, Del learns that Starlight Rooms is owned by a gangster named Eugene McCarthy, who has been known to trap people into the door. To make matters worse, the nights Raquel and Tony will be performing are also Eugene's mother's birthday.
That night, Del finally made it to Starlight Rooms after being in court. Eric introduces Raquel, who begins to sing "Crying" until Tony takes the stage and sings along. Only then did Tony appear to sing only certain songs; he has rhotacism, causing him to pronounce his R wrongly, making "crying" sound more like "Cwying". Del quickly leaves after the song ends, while Rodney applauds politely.
Back to Nelson Mandela House, Del is worried about what Eugene will do to him, until angry Raquel and astonishing Rodney come in. Raquel admitted that he and Tony went on with the show, singing "Please Welease Me", "Congwatulations", and "Gween Gween Gwass of Home", following (according to Rodney) with the "wock and woll" medley.
Tony shows up for his money, and Del pays him, Raquel, and Rodney. Tony then talks about how his rhotacism prevents him from pronouncing his Rs correctly, and although he can sing pretty well, he can only sing a song without Rs in it. With that said, Tony gets paid (after some brief reluctance from Del) and after defending himself, he leaves, Del gets a phone call from Eugene, who says that his mother thinks Raquel and Tony's performance is the funniest thing he has ever seen in him. live, and he wants to order Tony and Raquel on a five-week contract at Starlight Rooms. Del tells Raquel, Rodney and Albert and then runs to call Tony back from the balcony and tells him "Wait about, Tony.I've got you some reservations.Stay with me, boy, I'll make you that!"
