This new series tells the story of wheeler-dealer Del Trotter (David Jason) and his kind-hearted and often maligned brother Rodney Nicholas Lyndhurst). The Trotter Brothers hope to hit the big deal that will get them out of public housing and into the good life. Terribly impressed with his own skill as an operator, Del has tried everything from selling second hand cars to three tons of scrap lead without a whole lot of success. Rodney is more interested in finding a girlfriend than becoming a titan of commerce.
