There is trouble in store for the Trotters when Del puts his 'high profile' business strategy into overdrive.

Further details

Del continues to pursue the Yuppy lifestyle, and insists that Rodney follows suit by wearing... a suit. He convinces his young bruv that it will help him shift 50 video recorders he got off of Ronnie Nelson at the Advanced Electronics Research and Development Centre.

Only Fools And Horses writer John Sullivan kept the plot of the classic episode secret from BBC bosses as he felt certain that they wouldn't allow it to even be filmed.
