Video Nasty (Only Fools and Horses) Video Nasty (Only Fools and Horses) "Video Nasty" is the fifth episode of series 5 of the BBC sitcom, "Only Fools and Horses", first broadcast on 28 September 1986. In the episode, Rodney receives a grant to make a local film, but Del sees it as an opportunity to make money. At "The Nag's Head", as Trigger and Boycie talk about Marlene's inability to have children, Rodney enters to tell everyone that he and Mickey Pearce have been given £10,000 by their evening art class teacher to make a local community film. Del Boy and Albert also enter and tell
Healthy Competition partnership with his friend Mickey Pearce. Del and Grandad warn Rodney that Mickey Pearce is not to be trusted and has no business sense, but Rodney dismisses their claims. Del warns Rodney that going it alone means he has to pay for everything himself from now, but Rodney goes ahead with it, insisting that he can prove he is just as good as Del. Rodney raises his revenue by informing Del that he owns one half of "Trotters" to which Del, after slight hesitation, gives Rodney money from the pile (though clearly less than half, in keeping with his character).
