After reading a book entitled 'Modern Men', Del elects to have a vasectomy but backs out when he finds that the doctor concerned is still angry about the faulty paint he sold him. With Cassandra pregnant Rodney is seeking a better-paid job and answers a newspaper advertisement, only to discover that it is as Del's assistant. Cassandra is rushed to hospital but she miscarries and, whilst comforting Rodney, Del bursts into tears.

Such a brilliant episode, and what an absolutely heartbreaking finale, Nicholas Lyndhurst gives a truly moving performance. And it really does show how great the writing and acting are in the show when you are laughing at Del Boy at the same time as crying with Rodney and Cassandra. Definitely one of the greatest episodes.
