Miami 2000 - Lenny Fontana

Advantages: Great beaches, nightlife and shopping
Disadvantages: it can be expensive

...For a 40th review, it had to be something a bit special, something that has really made an impact on my life. Where else but Miami? I had always wanted to visit Miami having been particularly interested in the Art Deco district. As a 21st birthday present, my mum treated me, my boyfriend and my Aunt to a Caribbean cruise and a short pre-cruise stay in Miami. I was extremely excited, here's why? ***Tell me about Miami*** Miami is a city within the Miami-Dade County in the American state of Florida on the Miami River between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean.

Advantages: More brillaint humour and a great story
Disadvantages: dodgy canned laughter in latter part of episode

.... Meanwhile, Rodney, (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and Cassandra, (Gwyneth Strong) are still struggling with their marriage, with Cassandra concentrating more on her career than her relationship. So when Del hears that Rodney has come into some money he decides to try and help their marriage by booking a holiday for the young couple, much to Rodney?s delight. Although, with Cassandra unable to get time off work, the holiday isn?t quite what Rodney hoped for, especially as Del manages to tag along. But once at their destination things go from bad to worse, with the Trotters somehow becoming involved in criminal activities, involving a mistaken identity and a family of very dodgy people, even more dodgy the Del himself. With Del and Rodney miles from home and in a bit of bother in Miami they are keen to get back to the safety of the streets... Read review
