The story

What Is Only Fools and Horses: Christmas Crackers About?

The premise of Only Fools and Horses: Christmas Crackers without spoilers.

Rodney’s Christmas cheer is gone after another Trotter holiday—burnt turkey, charred pudding and the same old TV. He relies on Mickey Pierce’s “Body Language: The Lost Art.” While Grandad dresses for the OAPs’ party at the community centre, Del and Rodney go to The Monte Carlo Club, where Rodney tests his new body‑language tricks, but Del has other plans, and their romantic pursuits drift away.
