The "'''Comic Relief special'''" was a sketch of the [[BBC]] [[sit-com]], ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'', recorded as part of the 1997 [[Comic Relief]] appeal. It was first screened on 14 March 1997. It was chronologically set after the 1996 Christmas trilogy. This special sketch was [[Buster Merryfield]]'s final appearance as Uncle Albert as he died not long after.

==Synopsis==
Sitting around the breakfast table in their flat, [[Rodney Trotter|Rodney]] laments that he can't afford a holiday, whilst [[Del Boy]] considers signing [[Damien Trotter|Damien]] up for a modelling agency. [[Uncle Albert|Albert]] then suggests that they should be thankful for what they have. Though they are expecting another "During the war..." anecdote, Albert instead mentions the plight of the people of [[Africa]]. The show has subtle references to [[Nicholas Lyndhurst]] and [[David Jason]]'s other well-known shows, ''[[Goodnight Sweetheart (TV series)|Goodnight Sweetheart]]'' and ''[[A Touch of Frost]]'', respectively. It ends with an appeal for donations from Del and Rodney.
