Ep 5. The Yellow Peril

In "The Yellow Peril," the fifth episode of season 2 of Only Fools and Horses, Del Boy and Rodney are hired by their friend and business contact, Roy Slater, to transport some electronic goods across town. Roy, who is now a detective, promises that the job is legitimate and that they will be handsomely rewarded for their services.

But things start to go wrong almost immediately. The van they're driving turns out to be a "yellow peril," a vehicle that is notorious for being unreliable and dangerous on the road. Del and Rodney find themselves struggling to keep the van under control as they drive through the busy streets of London, narrowly avoiding accidents and causing chaos along the way.

As if that wasn't enough, things take a turn for the worse when they arrive at their destination. It turns out that the electronic goods they were supposed to deliver are actually stolen, and they are met by a group of angry thieves who want their goods back. Del and Rodney soon find themselves caught in the middle of a dangerous conflict, with both the thieves and the police on their tail.

As the episode unfolds, Del and Rodney must use all their wits and cunning to avoid getting caught by the authorities, while also trying to keep hold of the stolen goods that are being hotly pursued by the other criminals. Along the way, they get some unlikely help from an unexpected source, but can they really trust them? And will they be able to navigate their way out of this mess unscathed?
