''Diamonds Are For Heather'' is an episode of the BBC Sit-com , '' Only Fools And Horses ''. It was the second Christmas special, and was first screened on 30 December 1982 . SYNOPSIS At the ''Nag's Head'', Del Boy is drowning his sorrows due to his loneliness, and cheers himself up by ordering a Mariachi band to sing ''Old Shep''. He also meets a beautiful woman named Heather, who seems to be one friend short of company. Del, ever the gentleman, entertains her and sees her home safely. When he escorts her back to her flat, Del discovers that Heather has a young son named Darren, aged 3 and a half, and a husband named Vic, who seems to have joined a very long queue at the Job Centre 18 months ago and never come back. Over the next six weeks, Del and Heather's romance blossoms, Del gets along well with Darren, and all is running so smoothly, Del Boy decides to propose to Heather, even if it means moving away from Rodney and Grandad . However, at a candle-lit curry dinner, Heather refuses Del's proposal, because her husband Vic (presumably she's still married to him) is now living in Southampton , working as a department store Santa. He also wants to give his marriage with Heather a second chance by asking her and Darren to move in with him. Heather says goodbye to Del, who is left without an angel for Christmas. But Del cheers up in the end when he asks some carol singers to sing ''Old Shep''. EPISODE CAST QUOTES
