"The Class of '62" is an episode of the BBC sit-com Only Fools and Horses. It was the fourth episode of series 7, and was first broadcast on 20 January 1991. In the episode, Del Boy, Rodney, Boycie, Denzil and Trigger attend a school reunion which, to their surprise, has been arranged by Roy Slater.
Del Boy and Rodney receive a fax on their new Futafax machine from Mike that a reunion for the 1962 class of the Martin Luther King Comprehensive School (formerly Dockside Secondary Modern) has been arranged at The Nag's Head (as well as saying that the machine doesn't work properly). Raquel receives a letter from her solicitors explaining that they have managed to trace her ex-husband, who is considering filing for a divorce.
At the reunion, Del, Rodney, Boycie, Trigger, and Denzil all wonder who arranged it all, as the organiser didn't leave his name because he'd paid by cash. After initially wondering if it was their sectioned headmaster, "Bend Over" Benson, the mystery organiser turns out to be despised ex-police officer Roy Slater. A seemingly reformed Slater explains that a five-year prison sentence for the diamond smuggling incident and the death of his father has changed him for the better, and he is now a born again Christian and has a new life in Colchester. After initial reluctance, following numerous spurious charges Slater has placed on them down the years, Del and friends agree to forgive Slater and they head back to Nelson Mandela House for a few drinks and to reminisce about their schooldays. Denzil, Trigger, and Boycie all go home, but Slater falls asleep on the sofa. Raquel enters the flat and is horrified to see Slater who, it emerges, is her ex-husband. Despite a furious argument between Slater and the group, the Trotters reluctantly let him stay for the night.
