[edit] Synopsis
Grandad, cooking the dinner, manages to ruin it by burning the Turkey, forgetting to remove the giblets and then also burning the Christmas pudding. Rodney, bored with the lack of good programming on the television, there is a circus on 2 channels, gets his only enjoyment on the day from a body language book lent to him by his friend, Mickey Pearce, and suggests that he and Del Boy go out for the night. Del rejects the idea, saying that they can't leave Grandad alone on Christmas Day, only for Grandad himself to go out shortly afterwards to an OAPs party.
Del and Rodney visit the Monte Carlo club, attempting to meet some girls. They spot a group of girls to chat up, but argue over who should actually do it. They take so long, that two other men ultimately beat them to it and speak to the girls.
