Only Fools and Horses

Del pays a stripper to join Rodney at a party held at the Nag's Head. Meanwhile, Rodney has been challenged by Mickey Pearce, who has placed a bet that he cannot secure a date for the occasion, putting extra pressure on him.

The show “Watching the Girls Go By” is a television programme presented as an episode‑style instalment. It falls squarely within the comedy genre, delivering a self‑contained story that centres on the everyday misadventures of a small group of friends. In this particular episode, Del decides to foot the bill for a stripper to accompany him to a gathering held at the Nag’s Head. He isn’t going alone – Rodney is also on the guest list, though his attendance is motivated by a different reason. Rodney finds himself the target of a wager placed by Mickey Pearce, who has challenged him to secure a companion for the night. The bet hinges on the belief that Rodney won’t be able to locate a suitable date in time for the party. The plot therefore revolves around Del’s financial gesture, the presence of the stripper, and Rodney’s scramble to meet Mickey’s challenge, all set against the backdrop of the Nag’s Head celebration. The episode weaves these elements together, showing how the characters navigate the pressure of the wager and the unusual company they keep for the evening.
