Miami Twice – American Dream Episode review
Brief: Rodney receives his “Maxwell Money” from the printing firm’s pension fund. Del suggests he buys two tickets to Miami for him and Cassandra. When she can’t go he suggests who could take her place as well. He is in a bit of bother about some Romanian Riesling and needs to lay low for a while.

At Damien Trotter’s christening (much to Rodney’s horror), Del strikes a cushdy deal with the Vicar to sell pre-blessed wine around the country.
Rodney is living with Del and Albert on week days, and with Cassandra at weekends, on the advice of a Relate councillor.
Del organises a ‘two for one’ holiday for the Trotter clan, knowing full well that Cassandra will not be able to make it. When the brothers arrive in Miami, the family of mafioso boss Vincenzo Ochetti spot Del – who bears a striking resemblance to their Don.
Soon realising they are not simply being shown American hospitality, Del and Rodney flee… aided and abetted by Boycie, Marlene and their baby Tyler who are also in the states.
Upon a safe return to Peckham, they find dozens of crates of wine, which were deemed unfit for Holy Communion.

- In Miami Twice (part 1), the windows inside the church don’t match the windows outside the church, this can be seen when Del walks into the church after Mike reminds him about paying for the christening do at the pub.
- In Miami Twice (part 1), Outside the church where Damien is christened, Rodney seems to have a very good tan before he goes to Miami (part 2).
- In Miami Twice (part 1), Rodney and Cassandra are seen in the beer garden of the Nags Head with benchs soft lights and Patio.Look at the carpark in Dates when the police pull up to the rear of the nags head it looks a little differant!
- In Miami Twice (part 1), Outside the pub after the Christening, Cassie tells Rodders that she is not dressing up as a victorian Maid for anyone – by the time we get round to Heroes and Villains that is precisely what she has done after Damian bought her bank !
