Rodney is shaken up after meeting Blossom on his way home from the Nag's Head and Del decides to wind him up.
This is a strong episode as Del takes advantage of his younger brother's naïveté with a pretty harsh wind up that only a particularly close brother could get away with. It is a classic example of taking a joke so far it backfires.
There are plenty of decent character moments for all three of the central characters. Granddad shows his displeasure with Del for what he puts Rodney through. One reference he makes to a previous joke Del played convincing him that he had won the pools is brilliantly delivered by Lennard Pearce.
We also have a pretty funny scene in the Nag's Head where Mickey Pearce, Trigger and Boycie all chip in with some good banter and a good finish where Del confronts Rodney with the truth.
For me it is a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
