The "Comic Relief special" was a sketch of the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, recorded as part of the 1997 Comic Relief appeal.

This special sketch was Buster Merryfield's final appearance as Uncle Albert as he died not long after.

Sitting around the breakfast table in their flat, Rodney laments that he can't afford a holiday, whilst Del Boy considers signing Damien up for a modelling agency.

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 and A Touch of Frost, respectively.
