"Miami Twice" is the two-part tenth Christmas special edition of the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses. The first episode, on-screen subtitle "The American Dream", was first screened on 24 December 1991. The second episode of "Miami Twice" was first screened the following day, 25 December 1991. The second episode is subtitled "Oh to Be in England".

When "Oh To Be in England" was originally broadcast on Christmas Day it ran at 95 minutes (the longest of any "Only Fools and Horses" episode). Subsequent repeats on BBC One often edited this to 85 minutes. Material removed in the shorter version included sections of dialogue in the introduction where Del and Rodney discuss how the trip was paid for and that "there will be no women on this trip," as well as two scenes back in Peckham, in the flat with Albert and Raquel, and in the Nag's Head when Del appears on the Six O'Clock News.

On the 1998 VHS release (and subsequent DVD release), it was reedited as one episode, and titled "Miami Twice: The Movie". This contains a number of edits from the original. The final scene of Del and Rodney in the departure lounge in "The American Dream" which segues in the end credits was removed, alongside part of the scene in the bar during "Oh To Be in England". The usual musical replacements were also made in some scenes. Notably in this version a laugh track is added to "Oh To Be In England".

The episodes are available separately on iTunes, Amazon Prime and Netflix with the original broadcast music and no laughter track on "Oh To Be In England". However, the shorter 85-minute version of "Oh To Be in England" is the version used on these sites.

David Jason chose the second episode as his favourite episode of Only Fools and Horses in 2015, recalling its background on a special pre-recorded clip that was broadcast before a repeat of the episode on Gold as a forerunner for the Only Fools and Horses Top 20 series.^[1]
