In Only Fools and Horses season 6 episode 2, titled Danger UXD, brothers Del and Rodney Trotter find themselves entangled in an explosive situation when they stumble upon an unexploded bomb.
The episode begins with Del and Rodney heading to a housing estate to purchase a job lot of perfume. While waiting in their van, they notice a suspicious-looking package on the ground nearby. Their curiosity gets the best of them, and they approach the package, only to discover that it's an unexploded bomb from World War II.
Panicked and unsure of what to do, Del and Rodney turn to their friend Trigger, who is a member of the Territorial Army. Trigger agrees to help them dispose of the bomb, but things quickly go awry when he accidentally triggers the detonator.
As the situation escalates, the Trotter brothers find themselves in a race against time to defuse the bomb and avoid catastrophe. Along the way, they enlist the help of their Uncle Albert, who regales them with tales of his own brush with danger during his time in the Navy.
Despite the very real danger they face, the brothers can't help but inject their trademark humor into the situation, much to the exasperation of their fellow characters.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to the zany humor and hijinks that have made Only Fools and Horses a beloved classic. From Del's trademark one-liners to Rodney's exasperation with his brother's schemes, the episode is a masterclass in comedic timing.
But beneath the humor and high jinks lies a sense of danger and tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. As the Trotter brothers navigate the bomb disposal process, the stakes continue to rise, leaving viewers wondering whether they'll make it out unscathed.
At its heart, Danger UXD is a testament to the enduring appeal of Only Fools and Horses. With its winning combination of humor, heart, and adventure, the episode showcases why the series remains a beloved classic nearly three decades after its initial release.
