In the Only Fools and Horses season 5 episode 9 titled "Dates", Del Boy and Rodney try their hands at becoming dating agents. The Trotters have come across a few women at a party arranged by Boycie, and Del Boy suggests that they open a dating agency.

Throughout the episode, the brothers have a hilarious time convincing the women to join their agency, and they try to entice more clients by making a snazzy brochure. However, things don't go quite as expected, and they end up with an unwanted and unexpected problem.

Meanwhile, Uncle Albert becomes enamoured with one of the women at the party and insists on tagging along with Del Boy and Rodney on their business meetings, much to their annoyance. The brothers try to get rid of him, but he manages to charm their only client, making the situation even more complicated.

As the story unfolds, Del Boy and Rodney soon find out that their matchmaking skills are not as sharp as they initially thought, and the dates they arrange for their clients are anything but successful. To make matters worse, they have also encountered some unforeseen expenses while setting up the business, leaving them in a deep financial mess.

Despite the chaos and disappointment, the Trotters keep on going and come up with some insane tactics to attract more clients. This results in some hilarious situations, including them pretending to be rich, eligible bachelors, and trying to attract women in a high-end nightclub.

In the end, the brothers come to the realization that the dating game is not their forte when they end up getting in trouble with the police. Even though the venture turns out to be an absolute disaster, they still manage to come out of it with a few laughs and a renewed appreciation for their usual line of work.

Only Fools and Horses "Dates" is a funny, light-hearted episode that captures the essence of the show's humor and the Trotters' endearing personalities. It's an enjoyable watch for fans and newcomers alike, and it's a great example of the show's ability to create memorable and entertaining stories out of mundane situations.
