Room forty two, mister Weaver. He's saying he's lost a bit of his buildild a figure K one robot. What? And he reckons housekeeping must have binned it when they did a sweep of his room. It was a collectible apparently worth quite a bit. So he's asking for a full refund. What shall I tell him? Is this for real? Yeah, he's in the bar. I managed to wangle him unlimited coffee on the house. Oh good. well, so it started. Well, no, not really. As far as I'm concerned, a customer has made a complaint you've dealt with that complaint. There's no issue here No, but what am I actually saying to him th? Help me out, Ian, I'm new here. You know this is my first time on reception. I'm not across all of our refund policies.

And running a full dinner service tonight, are you No. I guuess I'm not H. H Hh Oh, that's looking better. What dod you think, Kirstie? Not bad, is it? Oh Oh okay? Oh yeah, fine, Helen. A just look back. You sure? Sorry,ry else I'll stop fussing. You've been a star with this, as ever. Happy to help? Well, you shouldn't have to. It should be Henry here with the scraper and the paint brrush. honestly, if he bends my ear one more time about how awful it is sharing it with his little brother Not a fan Understatement of the century, I have to get this decorating done at some point. just pull his finger out, he could be master of his own destiny, but no, there's always Kalil orkira to entertain. Well I suppose wallpaper in your little brother's room isn't a teenager's idea of a fun weekend. No, so we're stuck doing it instead A Natasha Dt expect you hope? There's a week off from the battling Blls. Fair enough What are you doing then? just some work. D didnn't want to be disturbed and Mum and dad are having Sar in and Nova, so today is an opportunity not to be wasted. Oh, Tom. What Oh yeah, beautiful, isn't it? Yes, beautiful. I always think that when looking at a computer generated image of a greenhouse. It's not just any greenhouse though. Climate control, blah, blah, blah, I've heard it all before several times. And you know my opinion It's no less financially viable than Helen's megap parlor. Oh stop it, Tom. We both know what Helen is looking at is nothing like a megap parlour. might as well be. I thought you and Helen had it all out last week. Now that we're all moving forward in perfect harmony. We agreed to give each other a fair crack of the whip. That's why we've both got this pitch in a couple of weeks and it might be nice if I had some support. You know I'm a businesswoman first and you wouldn't change that No Of course I wouldn't It's just you seem to a bit inconsistent about splashing the cash. What's that supposed to mean? A load of boxes arrived earlier. Oh, brilliant. Is it? What happened to watching our spending? Where are the boxes? In the kitchen? Those boxes are an investment. In what? The botanicals. The Botanicals. Tom, I've told you about it. The new business. What? Or at least I tried to tell you It's a beauty range I'm interested in launching. The headline is, all the ingredients in the lotions and potions will have been grown on Bridge Farm I want to make some tester products to see if it's viable I've even been in touch with some of my old colleagues in cosmetics and they've agreed to give me some feedback. Anything You were serious about this then. Deadly. I'm gonna do this, Tom, with or without your support What's going on this wall anyway? You'll have to ask Jack. There's some framed prints and a crate upstairs or maybe those. Superheroes? else. Yeah, it's nice his infs aren't changing too much for now. yeah, exactly Jack into the Buny Haset Con then. Sorry? Well, the sci fi thing at Grey Gables. Kate was saying it's been a bit nuts. Oh yeah. He doesn't think it's worth checking out most celebs apparently. A see. One of the families from school is taking him to one in Birmingham over the summer. So Jack's better off for using this weekend to design his wall Exactly. or play video games Wonder if my Minnie Miller will be a gamer? Were you? Beg my dad for a game boy. but I think I was trying to fit in with everyone else more than anything. Well, if Minnie Miller wants to be a gamer, then Jack's going to be a very enthusiastic mentor. He'll be out in the big wide world by then. Well, he come back, see his old mum And if not Jack, then Sarah and Nova. the amount of time they spend on Tom's tablet. Yeah, maybe. Have you told Tom? Should I have done? It's your decision, Kirstie. I haveve not really told anyone yet Right Come in Only me. I thought I'd just give you an update. The K one robot is in one piece and has been returned to its rightful owner. So no ref unnecessary? No. Brad spotted it in time and fixed the model before we gave it back to Mr Weaver U look kid I should never have spoken to you like that earlier. It was totally unprofessional. Oh you're under a lot of stress. That's still no excuse. I needs that in their first day out front? Thank you Is the restaurant booking system sorted? No no such luck. G to need a full system reset. We'll be going analog tonight. I don't know if I'm cautght out for this. There's only so far you can go in Martin Gibson's coaching manual. And it's nothing to do with what's going on at home You Can talk to me, Ian. Just because I'm exchanging pleasantries with dad doesn't mean all is forgiven How was your Saturday Short? Okay, well, how was your time away from this place? I took Xander to Phelersham you know the Indie Mexican place just up from the cathedral. Yes. Xander always feels so grown up when we eat there. Anyway. we were passing the cathedral coffee shop and There was Brian right by the window with his paper. and I found myself bustling Xander past making sure they didn't see each other. Oh Iillam. What did I say? Don't make Xander a pawn in this. Look I know it's not great, but I'm with Adam in this. How is Adam? Who knows? I'm scared to ask. A Friday's bust up, where Brian seriously kit. I mean, I thought it was bad before, but he left some tabs open last night in the laptop. I know I shouldn't have looked. And property pages, small holdings, Anglesy, Norfolk, and County downown even. You're not moving I hope not. We've got a life here He was talking about a market garden last week. I thought it was a great idea if it was in Borseshire. Yeah I didn't really see this coming. I mean I don't think he's serious, not really, just I don't like seeing them like this All got a bit obsessive. He keeps saying it's about Xander. I'm not convinced It's all so sad. It's more than that, kid This isn't sustainable. At this rate Adam's going to burn himself out. and lookook, I'm sorry, but It's just the way I say it. This is all in Brian I'm gonna cook Is slured pork to Madam's taste? If I start now, we should be eating by eight. I'm not sure I'm in the mood for a romantic dinner Please Natasha, I know I've got this wrong. It's a shock. That's all a shock of my own making. but I'm here now. I'm ready to listen or smell. What's this one? Gess. Raspberry and Rosew. Oh, I'm impressed. Now what's the plan then, other than these testers you've mentioned? Well, more research, obviously, which means going to other suppliers, seeing what already exists. someome work on the branding, costing, so honestly Tom, I'm buzzing. I've not felt this excited in years. Since summer Orchard launch. Exactly, a new start And not just because I'm keeping an open mind with a parlour and everything, donon't think I'm not pleased to see you working on a project again? It's great. Oh thanks, love. Look at the time. Has anyone been on reception whher you've been with me? Yeah, Zanab's got it covered. I'm due to finish earing anyway. Now, let's finish on a high. I reckon there's one good thing to come out of all of this. I'd love to hear it. Adam being out of home farm. Seriously. Yeah. Think about all the precious time he's spending with anda Cricket in the garden, quiet afternoons by the AM? Do you think he'd get any of that if Adam was still up to his eyes in herbal laays and back and forth with Dad No. Exactly. But he's too restless for that even short term. That's how we've ended up in the small hold in search. Well, then he needs a project, doesn't he? Something tangible. But please, Ian, see this as an opportunity, rather than a disaster. O. Great. Besides, Dad's got his new right hand man But do you reckon Ed knows what he's let himself in for? Well, he's worked at home farm for years. Yeah, but this is Brian one on one. No offense, Kate, but I don't think it'll be long before Brian shows Ed's true colors Hi Akira. wasasn't expecting you till nine? Sorry, Crate. I can go walk around the block as grandpa says. No, you're here now. It's great to have someone so keen. I figured that being fifty minutes early was better than half an hour late, one or the other with me. I'm the same. meeans a lot, by the way. You're doing this at such short notice. Oh pleasure. Wre school allright in the end? I think so Mister His had a bit of a moan, but I think he was winding me up. I'll send him an email later, make sure they've got everything they need. It's a week at Anneide anyway. Lillian's not that bad. N, She's pretty cool actually. She was happy when Auntie Tracy told her I'd got this instead. Oh I got a text from her as well. You're to be treated like royalty apparently. I don't want to know fus her enough thing. I know Penyway, there's too much work to get done for that. Should we make a start Oh, last. You right, Brian? Oh Ed, Hi. Yes, fine. Well, not fine actually, No. takeake a pew. Oh, A you in the middle of an order? Yeah, Chemicals. I was hoping Adam had been on top of it to be honest, ordering ahead. Oh because of the rising prices. And the rest, ye. But no, of course he hasn't That's my morning gone, ringing around sorting orders for the next year. Well, good luck with it. You know, we let Adam go at the right time. Something like this was bound to happen eventually. And who's left to sort out the mess? You and me Ed. Brian, I made to work the land damnine job you're doing too Oh, which reminds me. We've got the machinery engineer coming to take a look at the auger on the combine, so it's ready for the harvest. It needs a service. I want you to meet him. Asure? Yeah, when? Next Thursday. what the ninth? Yes. problem Well, it's the Borchester show. I've got some teaxels entered. Well, that's okay, C't one of the Gundy Mafy is standing for you That's not really the point, Brian. When I took this work on, we agreed that I'd have some flexibility. And you do for your tree surgery work. I mean you did that job at the showground with Emma over the weekend, didn't you? Yeah, yeah, the ash branch that have formed. Oh, there you go then. Now, if you'd excuse me, What was it This email to the chemicals rep keeps bouncing back. Let me have a look Oh yeah. You've got an extra dot in the address. L Oh goodness I have My eyesight isn't what it was. Mind you, this keyboard seem better days too. Thankanks, Ed, muchuch appreciated. No problem. You see, this is what I mean. There's an issue and you solve it. No fuss. None of this patronising he must be past it rubbish. You're indispensable, you know. Well I'll see what I can do about the show. Good man So listen, do still want me to shift that manure? If you can, put it in Broad acre. Broad acre. Isn't that a bit close to spiritual home? Just do it, will you what you are. Oh don't worry about the branches being neat here. Just chuckem on. if you say so, that's the idea with rewilding. You let nature do its thing. I saw loads of these while we were walking up. Our wood piles are one of our staples. So what's under area then? All sorts. You've got wood lice, centipedes and beetles at the bottom Maybe some amphibians. They use them hiberation. Oh, that reminds me. We must check last night's beaver footage of lunch. Rex reckons we've got kits. Great. Oh, come on Kira. The beavers are usually people's favourites. it's not that, just I came here to get away from baby news. Right. People don't ever shut up about it at home Well Im just excited, that's all. And it's a lift for everybody. after M you do your brother mess things up for all of us? Well I was going to say after a difficult time Well? Well people are so quick to just move on. Well, I think being a dad's changed. He's not dad yet? No, okay I take it, you're not looking forward to being an auntie then. We'd rather not think about it. It's a moment dad I feel sorry for. All the adults to be honest. Why? There's gonna be such a drain this baby. No sleep, nappies, trips to the park every single day. They'll drag me in as a free babysitter. and George'll be useless. Okay, maybe this is an opportunity for you to step up there Not changing nappies or cooking the dinner. Maybe your role in all of this is holding your brother to account. Why though? Why is that my responsibility? Well he's twenty one, supposed to be a man. He shouldn't need it What the hell are you doing? Iedily Stop, it stinks. Sorry, Kate Bry and wanted this when you're dumping. Yeah, I can see that. I can sm What's he playing at? It's right by the yardts. We're in the middle of a yoga class. I'll just following instructions. Oh Yeah, I know that. This has Brian Aldrid written all over it. Well, once I've cancellled all of my clients for today, I'll be finding my father and telling him exactly what I think of him in his instructions How are the beavers? I thought you weren't interested. Fur babies aren't the same as real babies. Well Watch that shape That. Oh cute How old do you think they are? The weak at most, I'd say I'm sorry Pokemon was in earlier. No, I'm fine. You care, it's nice. D don't other people? Henry does. What about you mum and dad? You' always seem pretty tight with Em Rined. And we are, we really are and the rest of them. Grandma makes me laugh every day. And does the rest include George? Maybe? Well that's an improvement on earlier. What if you weren't such a show off? Well, that's just brothers, so Helen tells me. It's like when George is having a crisis, which is always That' the only thing exists I ran away at New Year. Did you know I had heard. The thing is it wasn't even that deep looking back at. I wasn't having bad thoughts and it wasn't like I planned something massive neither. I just needed space. but he only really got to talk to Dad about it last week He knew what happened, Memmured filled him in, but We haven't really talked about it, you know? because there's no time to. I run away and George gets hit on the head. so it's all him, him him. But you're talking about it now, I suppose. Well there you go then. I'm an only child. Growing up, my mum and dad didn't know half the stuff I got up to. As Tom and Helen tell you when I first moved here, I hardly had a nice word to say about my mum It only as adults that we've properly connected Relationships don't stand still, they evolve. like the seasons here Maybe you'll feel differently about George in T. Yeah, right. Or maybe you won't But you and Damronad are talking Keep it like that. And don't let how you feel about your brother get in the way. You're both there kids. you both matter And if when the baby arrives, you don't feel like theres space for you all the time at home, Well There's always be space for you here? Okay Right Wow Thanks, Christie Kate, it wasn't that much manure. We're talking one trailer loone at most. That's not the point, dad. There shouldn't have been any. And okay, it's not the most pleasant smell in the world, but the wind takes most of it away. Yes! The wind takes the fumes and wooafts them all over spiritual home. Well, if you care so much about, you could always do one of your cleansings. That's not funny, dad. I had to cancel everything today. I'm sorry it's affecting your business. Why do I feel like there's a butt coming? I run a working farm. The manure has to go somewhere. I appreciate that, but why broad acres? Because the soil there needs a boost This wasn't deliberate. Oh, I know that. in a way, that's what's so worrying. G me strange. I know there's nothing medical to worry about, but in that case what is going on, dad really like that. I'm sick and tired of being your envoy. I think Adam and Ian are right to keep Zanda away from you. What? You do know that Ian saw you in Felpishham on Saturday. He rushed past to make sure that Zanda didn't seize you. You no need to be crw. No, there's every need. you're unbelievable. Who's it gonna to be next week, Dad? Who's next on your hit list? Lian, Alice, Who else will you make turn against? I don't have time for this. When you're in the wrong, you never do. I've gott to help Ed calibrate the moisture monitor. Oh, of course, Ed, the hired help. The only person who's obliged to interact with you contractually help him Join the cream stirred in? Nah, leave it floating. o Excuse me, Marshmallows? so ungrateful. only thing you do better than m hot chocolate., what about my fry up? Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Okay All right Nice for grandma and grandpa to take Oliver out tonight when it would' have been him and Caroline's wedding anniversary. We choked up just talking about it this morning. Well, it's difficult for him. But it means tonight we've got the place to ourselves. Got ketchup loaded. Alice. Just what I need. Relax in front of the footie with my daughter. Dad, it's cricket. What That was the deal. Hot chocolate and cricket. Can't watch football with you. like having a second commentary. Right. Or would you rather watch Wimbledon with Mum? U not cricket. Work al right? Yeah. So that's a no then. There's nothing for you to worry about Let's just say I'm doing my best to follow Brian's orders and keep calm while carrying on, which is no mean feat. How were the beavers. Justin and Sigorni have kids. Oh we've got this week to come up with names. Kirsty's got you working hard then. He. And as you know, I've been lugging branches all day. honestly dad, it's been amazing and rewilding the future. Oh is it? Yeah. You know, that was a smart thing you did getting to work with Kirsty Thanks, Dad. You could do me a favour actually. What is it? Well work's going to be a bit mad these next few weeks and I don't have the time I thought I had. I hope Brian is paying you well to be dogs botty. No Anyway, Kir, I've asked George about this, but with the social media stuff he's doing, he's rammed as well. Or he can't be bothered. The Borchester shows a big deal for him in Amberg. be fair. Any roe he suggested you. Oh. try Can you get the day off school next Thursday? What for? Well, how dod you feel about showing the texels for me Oh thank you for bringing me phone Lotie.

And we don't want to skip the fun stage by having to have serious conversations with kids. Yeah, exactly. mister sensible. As long as I'm not mister Boring. Well, if a knight of Pentacles comes up in my tarot later, your days are numbered. Yook face. You know I don't take it seriously. Right. I don't. Anyway Good news. Oh yeah. No Maddie tonight. Mum's doing me a favor, so Ah U Chris. It's all a bit crazy here. Mumas are once in a blomon offer these days. We need a proper date. A booty call is not enough. Tell you what?

I could give you a tour, if you like, makeake it up to you You are technically a stall holder? Yeah, go on, if you're offering. It'd be good to have a break. It's been a manic, particularly after the weekend. There were that ash tree coming down in the storm. But Emma and Ed were brilliant. They came straight out. She's so bad, ash, your sister. I where she is. Anyway, the whole thing put us back a day, so now everyone's at top speed. We're all just praying that nothing else goes wrong Wow, This is all looking really impressive, David. Oh thanks, Amber. Glad you think so. We're way off yet, but things are looking promising. Are you getting a good response from the stallholders? Yeah, Helen sent us a video this morning shot through the Bridge Forum Dairy window. Nana and Tracy look great. It's nice when we don't have to give too many notes We've sent out general guidance, obviously, but I think people understand the value of good socials these days. You got my email, didn't you with the amended media plan. Yes, Can't wait to cover the fararrier competition. Oh those tanned arms. Ignore him, David. I'm mutuals with Emily Farnaby. They follow each other. Oh, right, yeah, yeah Oh, one half of the Denton Grange mixed pair. Yeah. Yeah. That match against the Harriman twwins looks very competitive Right, about the media pan. Just got one question if that's okay. Far away. There are a few gaps in the running order of the awards. Are they typos? Nothing to worry about. Right? Who will become clear You're the boss, David? No, you two really need some content from the rural crime team. I'll let you handle that one, Amber. Okay, ask for PC Nicola Truman. She was fantastic with the sheep attack. Really, really supportive. Meant to say, David, we were all gutted when we heard about that. Can't imagine what it was like Ed's showing his texels here, isn't he? Well, it was meant to be, but Brian's got him slaving away. George. Well, that's true. And we're busy here. I suggested Kira show them, but she don't want to know. Oh, it's a shame. I thought she liked the sheep. Loves them. handandles them like a pro. It's the limelight she doesn't like. It wouldd be a shame not to enter at all though. Davy, Archer, Hello Bill Gordon. Oh Hello you too. Hey. Chad, what are you doing here? Nice to meet you Bill. Yeah you too, David. I'm just scope out your trade stand? I have yeah. I'm really sorry though You can't actually park that here. Oh sorry, yeah. just find it useful to set up to have a prop, You know, see what the stand's gonna look like on the day.

Thank you. I'm glad you stayed. Nope Everything okay. Yeah, yeah, it's Harrison wants to meet me for a drink. You know he's coming back week after next And that's a problem because. Well, he'll be moving back in with Fallon for starters, so I'm working out what me and Martha are gonna do. Don't worry, I'm not hinting. I didn't think you were. By the way, I'm organising Pip's Hendu. Did I tell you? No, I don't think so. Have you got anything planned? I've got a few ideas. Well as long as none of them involve Tarot, we'll be all right. Well, Pip's quite into it actually. But no I'm all th in a drag brunch or come dressed as your female crush, or come as your favourite Madonna. Your favourite Madonna? Yeah, I can so see Stella as cowboy Madonna. Come on, it's gotta be worth it for that alone. An I could be Madonna in the bath. Oh ye. I've got this great game. Pin the distinguishing feature on the character who inspired your gay Awakening B of a mouthful. Oh cheh. It's like pin the tail on the donkey, but instead you pin the breastplate to the warrior Princess Zina. O the glasses on Rachel Vyise in the mummy. or the blazeer on Scully. Let's face it. anything on Jillian Anderson works. Oh, but the exX files But isn't this all a bit well stereotypically lesbian? It's a lesbian hen, Chris. who lossing the title. I just think you could be a bit more creative. Oh, is that a challenge? Yeah if you like. Okay. We've got just over forty eight hours till our next dayate. Let's each present an idea over dinner when we hang out on Thursday and whoever loses pays Who's going to judge? we'll figure out when we're there. Mr. Carter, do you accept the challenge? With pleasure, Miss Sumers. Nope. Ive gott toa take this, sorry. David. Oh you got your phone then? Yeah. Listen, Chrismate. Are you still about? We're just down by the Farriers comppetition tent. I'm on one of the equestrian rings, Casey Meets I think there's something you need to see. It's been gone a while. A B bit of a trek to the lose, ain't it Seems happy though, doesn't he? He liked my idea about building a display around his classic car. He was being polite. He can't put his own car on the sales display. It's a stupid idea. Well, he won't actually be selling anything, will he? It's to attract people to the dealership. I'm still figuring out how I'm writing a promo piece on my dad's business and being his personal VIP host weren't? Yes, I'd work that out, George. When your mum came home last week with the bronies, I did a bit of upselling. We didn't agree nothing, She said she had to discuss it with Bill. Tld me not to tell you. I bet she did. I thought this was what you wanted. You reached out to them. Yes, on my terms. I deliberately didn't offer them platinum because I didn't want them laording it over me. And I didn't want to spend any more time with them than was absolutely necessary You've got me chained to them for a whole day. Bill at twelve o'clock. This is not over. Oh, sorry about that. We'll gotta get back to the showroom in a bit. Just so we're clear, fifteen cars and some promotional flags and banners. I'll even see what I can do about chucking in another classic or two. Sounds great. Doesn't it Amber You know what you're doing, dad? Great. Do you want to walk me to the car? It's literally there. Humour me. My maail may not have a surprise for you. What mum hiding in the booth feels like that kind of dead? Sh So I'll see you tomorrow, then, Dad for the promo interview. Just white a sick Dad? A synth cot. Part of this sleeping lions range. Call it a baby shower present. This must have cost a bomb. You're paying for quality though. It rocks at four different speeds as a customizable playlist all linked up to an app so you can monitor the baby's sleep. We can play them all that classical stuff. Make sure they're a genius Aamber We've already got a cot. from George's family. Your mum saw it I think you're being a bit ungrateful love. Between this and the sponsorship, you're setting us back ten grands. 'cause that's what we are, isn't it? An investment? An investment that you've obviously put a lot of thought into And we're very grateful, aren't we, Amber? What do you think, Chris? It's not looking great, is it? It's how it feels, it worries me. The ground's rock hard. There's no way we can have horses competing on here. It's not safe. I'm guessing it's the same on the other rings. Yeah. Of course we had all the winds last week, but no rain. I'm sorry it's not better news. Well, it's not your fault, is it? But I won't lie. I really don't need this Not after that ash tree branch came down. When it rains it pours. Or in this case, not at all. A Can I do anything, David? I could ask around. There's got to be someone who can help. I'm meant to have a job a little Croxy at hal three. It's a bit late but I could try reschedule. No, no, Danbyon, it's not your job to sort And anyway, we're not going to solve this today. I just think this is a bit of an overreaction. Unbelievable. It's a nice bit of kit. Are you that easily bought I thought you might put up a bit of a fight. They just want what's best for the baby. S as us. Don't think it's personal. George, they saw your ct, hated it and threw a bit of humiliation into the bargain. This is how they roll. Look, I thought they'd let me know if they were going for the Platinum membership I thought they'd let me know so me and you would have a chance to talk it through They'd obviously told David, They're always one step ahead, putting you on the back foot I don't know if they even realize they're doing it I keep going back, hoping they've changed and every time they let me down. So what now I guess I'm doing this interview with Dad tomorrow? Amber. What choice do we have? Do the interview, get through next week and then they can be out of our lives Let me do the interview. No, George, it's fine. No. No, it's not. I made this mess. I'm going to get us out of it The ultimate cookout starts with the ultimate ingredients.

When you're responsible for someone else, you have to be responsible for yourself Do you mind me saying something Well that depends on what you're gonna say I've noticed your bump c. off course I don't mind. All part of the process, isn't it? The very nice part makes it seem more real Oh, What? That smell? No I was hoping you wouldn't notice. the wind must have changed. What's going on? My useless article of a father's dumped a lad of manure, right by spiritual home. A Won't be a minute, Mister Gordon? Yeah, you're fine Hey George, what happened to Bill? Right, yeah. Bill. Now, which SUV do you think for next week? George? Sorry, I just want to make sure this recording saves somewhere sensible. Yeah, worry about that in a sec. Which one? U The hybrid? good green messaging? Yeah, but this one's got a higher trim and a better safety rating Tricky one. Right, ready when you are? Okay, great. donon't worry about how you sound. We're writing this one up, remember? Yeah, sure. U Nice easy one to start. So how long has Gordons of Borchester been running? Well, we've been around eighteen years, give take's when we moved here. We were in Lewisham, but both of us me and An Marie, we got fed up with London and we wanted to raise Amber somewhere more picturesque. She was two at the time that okay? Yeah, great. What's your favourite car and why? Oh, good question. I Sose I haven't really got a favourite car as such I've always loved rallying though gre up in the group B where they were beautiful cars. or the noise. November Ninths watchatching rally report. Right, yeah. How long has Gordons' of Borchester been running you've already asked me that. Oh, yeah, sorry. what makes your dealership unique Our mission statement is actually I think I was meant to ask you that before your favorite car You all right, George? Yeah, I'm fine. ' we can come back to this if you want. I'm not in a rush to get home. You sure? Yeah, positive. Cam on, follow me. It always feels like we go back to square one with him. I mean, we've all tried and he just throws it back in our faces. We have been here before with you dad, Kate Sveral times. Exactly. I lost so much business on Monday and apart from this awful stink, all I could think about was the an poisoning and what it was like back then The fear, the dread, dad's lack of responsibility. Now, I'm not sure things are that bad. Maybe it's the tip of the iceberg, isn't it? All this conflict over the inheritance, endndless, meaningless power struggles with BL. all chapters in the Bryant Aldridge psycho drama. Even this week, that notice going up for planning permissions for the caravans I'm starting to appreciate what it was like for mum Sleepless nights. ' you never passed after any sleepless nights. Mry, whose side are you on? Not feeling hugeually sympathetic right now, Kate. Why not? Becauseuse you're starting to make my feet feel like needed dope. Well sorry. Kate, stop Oh. What should have said if you weren't enjoying it? It's when. Are you hurt? The way you were man handling me, I'll be lucky if I can walk. Just as wellm not paying because I'd be asking for my money back. Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh it's fine. Well, understandable anyway Maybe go and get us a couple of verbal teese eh There you go, Cffee. couldould always make this Iirrish for you, George. Noah, Best not. I'm still trying to support Amber with, you know, that Don't mind if I do though. Not my office. Help yourself. To be fair, staying off the booe seems to be the only support I'm good at. Well it's just relationships, everyone has their moments You and Amarie okay. Sorry, I don't know why I asked. we got nothing to worry about. And it's good to check in sometimes For what it's worth, I think you're done a fine job of supporting Amber. othertherwise you wouldn't be here now. I'm guessing she wrote those questions. Yeah, I can hear a voice in him. She's very distinctive It's not your ra. Natural environment, is it? Media. I don't know about that. I might not be your ideD of an influencer, but I've got experience behind me. I only met Amber because of my social media. Sorry I shouldn't make assumptions What I meant was You're a rarafterfter, likeind me Maybe I didn't see it at the beginning, but I certainly do now. Thanks. and it's important. It keeps your feet on the ground I won't knowoy When I married Anne Marie, I was marrying into quite a bit of money I had the opportunity to be a keat man if I wanted that. D didnn't suit me though I accepted a small loan from her dad's help purchase the garage in Lewersham and Well, that's where this all stied T took a bit of talking around her parents. I was hardly the golden boy. Really? Oh, yeah which is why I can't apologize enough for before I know would dislike having to prove yourself worthy and it's horrible. Thanks. You deserve a clean slate. And our entrepreneurial spirit, the drone upselling the platinum sponsorship to us, That's a real use, sir. Why didn't you tell me you were going to purchase the upgrade? Did I need to? I thought you'd give me a definite answer, and then I'd do my bit by talking it through with Amber, calm like. But no, you make it this big surprise. Why Me and her momum can't control how Amber's gonna react to things, George. She must realize that by now. But you could try not to make things worse Sorry, Bill. I know it might seem like I'm mouthing off. Maybe I am, a bit. But I want this to work. I want you in our lives, you and Anne Marie, for the baby, for Amber too, really Did you get what I'm saying Yeah. Yeah, okay ye And we want this to work as well, of course we do. Good So Mbe we should discuss terms. Terms Cop, for instance Better? Hm Better. I'm so sorry again. Okay Kate, stop apologising. I gave your feet a kneading. And I live to tell the tale. That's me on dishwasher duty for a month. What? notothing. I'll take another massage though. When you're less. Brian. That's the word. I've been totally Brian. It's the Mure You'd think I'd grow out of these tantrums. Oh it's not a tantrum, Kate. It's your livelihood. I'd be raging if someone don't manure by the rewilding office. It's not like I've got a claim to the land spiritual home is on. And I don't own the rewilding land. That's not the point You bothoth need to make a living. True. And you're right, you've been carrying the burden of being the Aldridge mediator for too long It's not just me on my own, though, is it But Lillily and Alice aren't losing Stables's clients through Brian's actions. Not yet. Dad's got this uncanny habit of making his problem your problem. M Listen to me, I'm starting again. I've got to face it, Kirirsty. I'm the only sibling with a business connected to him, depending on his whims The trouble is I'm running out of reserves for it all. Well, then, it's obvious You need an escape plan an escape plan An escape plan I you're a genius, know And such a good friend. Okay. Spiritual homeome can move to rewilding. 'cause our missions are the same, aren't they? I'm all about finding people's source energy and you're harnessing the planet's original essence. And we had a great turnout for the goat yoga. Imagine the collaborations in the future. Oh I'm gonna have so much fun writing the pitch pitch. Yes, a pitch. We've got to do it properly. We've got to get Rex and Tony and Justin on side. Roy, we should tell Roy and Phoebe, I'll message them both a selfie. We need a selfie. I'm Mkay. I'm in a towel. No, absolutely. Well let's wait until we get home. Well, I certainly didn't have this planned at the beginning of our session. Me neither Look, no offense, Bill, but you've given me this pitch before. I don't understand what's changed. You were all over that cot yesterday. And I see the benefits really, I do. But this has to be a joint decision. Amber has her heart set on the Grundy cot and you get why I'm not going to argue with her. Yeah ye of course. and I don't want to seem like I'm damping on your It's a proper piece of craftsmanship. Thanks. With a baby though, it can't all be about looks. Youve got to think safety, durability. I totally get Amber wanting the Grandy Cot for a nice social media post' perfect for that. But maybe that's how it should stay. A show cot at Grange Farm. Let the synth cot do the heavy lifting. Right. I showown you the app No I got it installed. Look at this. You see, you sleep position, schedule napt time, heart rate, temperature. Amber does worry about how stuffy it gets in our room, particularly in the summer. Exactly I know my daughter, George, she's a worrier like her mother. I've been worrying she won't leave the house. She's been saying There's no way she's leaving the baby, even if there's someone there. Well, this way she doesn't have to You're starting to see it now, an't youa? Well, Amber's very good at making things look black and white. She gets that from her mum too. That's one thing I love about them both, the clarity. But it doesn't always have to be like that. There's a place for everyone and everything in this baby's life, in't there. And at the end of the day, George, if you're serious about including us as grandparents E let's have some input Trust me This cot is what's right for our grandchild. Yeah Okay. Mart in. Nil Having al right? Yeah, yeah fine with barrow. Anway. Good, looks that way. Sorry, I haven't been around much today. Holid days are lovely, but you always come back chasing your tail. I know what you mean. Yeah. Well, if this isn't a barrow question, No, it's a bortiture water question Oh no, Martin, this isn't a complaint. Quite the opposite. I'm hoping you'll be able to help. Oh Now Christopher is involved with the Borchester Show this year. Oh yes, the frier competition I saw. Yeah, and apparently the equestrian rings are in a dreadful state because of the weather. They're bone dry apparently Christopher I was freting and I thought you're just a man who could source some service water to soften up the ground. Well, I'm not bore such a water, Neil, I'm only on the board, but yes, yes, I'm sure something can be arranged. Who do I email, David Archer? I'll check with Christopher. Well you just let me know The show jumping and it's always the highlight of the show for me. Be dis asked if they couldn't go ahead. I think we're sponsoring a sheep class as well You could say it's my duties. really? Which one? Class twenty at the Taxels? A. Ed was meant to be entering that. Oh what's happening? Well, nothing as such. He's just all ours at home farm at the moment and Adam Leving's really put the cat among the pigeons. Adam what You didn't know Look, Martin, I need to get going. Susan will be waiting. We're on a date night tonight. Yes, Neil, you go. Looks like I'll be taking a detour v a home farm. C on then, what's your big pitch? We're doing this now?. Call it a practice run. Okay Day in the Forge crafting a Molnir Thor's haammer. Right. So basically you're just touting for business. It's romantic. I made one when I first got the Forge with Alice. Sorry. Chris, you don't need to apologise. I'm not gonna burst into flames of jealousy whenever you mention her name Thanks. Now, we better order. It's packed to the rafters. What are we eating Roy, I think I should be going, Brian. All right. Thanks, Ed. Oh youre are mine? Ed. Brian, I think we need a word. Can't this wait, Martin? We've all got homes to go to. No, it can't. I need assurance that the BL harvest will be a success, especially after last year. Oh, come on. I need to know that home farmms contract will be fulfilled. Oh for pity's sake, give me some credit. We both know last year was a one old. Do we? Of course we do As a board member, I'm hardly going to sabotage a major income stream for BL or damage Home Farm's reputation. Bold of you to assume that Home Farm still has a reputation. What's that supposed to mean? As far as I'm concerned, Home Farm's reputation comes hand in hand with Adam Macy. Well, where is he, Brian He's no longer working here. No, so I found out from Neil I suppose that explains why Adam hasn't been answering my texts? Well, you know now. Anyway, I've got Edes my deputy now. he's perfectly capable and is working hard to take up the slack. That is not the point, Brian. I should be hearing about all this from you firsthand. So forgive me if I'm not feeling very trusty. Look You don't have to worry about the harvest mine. It's all under control. I'm getting the kit in order next week. I'm even missing the Borchester showh to make sure it's all done. I appreciate your hard work Ed. reallyally I do. you're a casual. I a manag. I'm not denying on Ed's worked here for years and has been indispensable to me these past few weeks, might as well have been the manager. Then you'll be paying him a manager's salary, won't you notot Thanks for the update, Ed Get a grip, Brian Well, that could have gone worse, I suppose. Brian I didn't know what he was saying about my salary No I don't like to No, you might be right to. And maybe when things have settle down and harvest is up and running, we can talk about it properly. Right Thanks. Now I don't about you and I could certainly do with a drink. Bull. Yeah, yeah. The bullet is H. Sorry I'm a bit late though. Everything okay? Oh yeah, just the latest updates on Snth Cot. What? That cot George brought back from the Gordons last night. Oh Amberus's furious with him. notot surprised. So unnecessary Why were you so late? Oh Martin Gibson. H what's he done now? What have I done more like? I let it slip that Adam had left home farm, so Martin was off like a shot. I reckon I should text Adam, you know? Wonder if he might be up for a few shifts in the show? You're not serious. Well why not? Need someone to replace Jim Oh, I got a postcard from him this morning, did I tell you? Oh no, whereere is he? Paris. All right for some. He's been going on night tours around the Louvre. Cool, can you do that? apppparently. And he's takaking an apartment bang opposite where James Joyce wrote Ulysine. Oh good old Jim. Oh no Oh miss him already. But it doesn't solve my problem in the shop. Look, forget about the shop. It's been ages since we had a bit of time together, just the two of us. But it's not just the shop that we eat. Dad's at Clivees getting up to who knows what and the cart? I'll talk to George about the cart. Please, Susan, look, I've got plenty of things to worry about, the crack belts and Stepvens, the church roof. I thought the roof was all sorts. The bill isn't But that's my point. This isn't the time. Let's just get into the bull and have a nice evening e? Tell me more about Paris. Reckon we're due another city break A Martin. Just the man. you made me jump soorry. Not at all. I've been wanting to talk to you. Your father's been telling me all about your spraying issue. I'm sorry. Borchester show. I hear the ground's a problem Oh yes, right. Sorry. What do you reckon you can help? Well I can put out a few feelers, certainly, but I'm aware we haven't got a lot of time. who is it I need to contact your end? I can give you Malcolm Kelly's number. He's the Chru manager. Much obliged. Well you're the one doing us a favour. Oh, no promises, mind. Keep it under your hat for now Is right you are? Oh one last thing, Chris, h? Tuck your shirt in Oh Nework, Susan. Lotie. Oh hello. The same idea as us then. Well, yes, I'm wondering if we should go somewhere else though. That's a bit busy, isn't it? Is the beer garden any better?? Wouldn't mind being out in the evenings, son anyway? I don't think so. A, you could sit with us if you like. There are four chairs It's like destiny. No no, we wouldn't want to intrude. Oh no, you wouldn't be. Tell them, Chris. What? Ohi m and dad Christopher. Susan and Neil should join us for dinner. Oh, well, I mean, we've already ordered. No really's fine. You right, Christopher? Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. I just had a chat with Martin Gibson in the Ls. Oh he's not here, is say? In the beer garden, I think. Right, that settles it.

Checking, we won't be disturbed. Sorry, Ed. Don't mean to sound so sinister. But you can never be too careful. Yeah rightight. If it's any consolation, I did genuinely need to use the facilities. Didn't just follow you in here. Great. I'll cut to the chase. You might have picked up on some animosity between me and Brian earlier. Yeah, yeah, bit I don't trust him E. I trust him less by the day. I do, however, trust you Where's this going, M? I want you to be my eyes and ears at home farm You want me to spy on Brian? Spying is a bit of a dramatic term. I want you to be an interested observer Look, Martin, I'm not sure of you. State has a sizeable tree surgery job going next month. hoping I could offer it to you You're trying to buy me. Not at all. Good night, mine. D justust think about it I hope nobody minds us tucking in. There's no need to stand on the ceremony. We've all invaded your day Look. As we have a captive audience, might this be a good opportunity to test out our hen party ideas? Yes. What's this? Well, Lotie's coming up with ideas for Pip's Henu. Oh, the lace be hang and Chris has spent all week rubbishing them. Oh So I set him a challenge. Whoever pitches the best idea tonight in under fifteen seconds gets their dinner paid for. Oh, sounds good. But we need some judges Oh Count me out. Tamny. I've never been to any sort of hen in my life. Well, looks like the deciding votes we've made. Yes. And don't think you're getting an easy ride, Christopher. I'll start. Just let me find my notes. It took your time, E? I was ordering us drink. Ah, here we are.

Now look, can I pch something? Of course you can, Susan. Right. A treasure hunt based on meaningful locations around the village for Piip and Stella. You know, the site of their first kase or the proposal They could finish at spiritual home for a puba session or in here, anything really. You should put the couple at the centre of the party and this way you are. What'd you think, Lotie? I think it's pretty obvious who's won? The free dinner is yours, man. Allright s this. George. How are the beavers? More to rewilding than the beavers? Oh no, just taking an interest Abra forgivven you yet for the cop? No. Thought so. Shut up. What? Just taking an interest This lot, the amount of time we spend with them, almost feels like they're family. Is that weird? Yeah, so weird Have you thought any more about what Ed asked you? Have I changed my mind about showinging? Well since grandma pested me last night, or Mem and grandpa pested me the night before, your turn is it now? Allright, All right, get the picture You know it would mean a lot to your dad. George, emotional blackmails not work for grandma. Deatho ain't gonna work for you Of course I know what it means to dad. I ain't letting him down. So Well you all know why it to know. You just need a bit more confidence, that's all. It's not about confidence. justust don't like being the center of attention. Well, imagine you're playing football, locked in, just you and the lamp. Not the same. Why is it not the same? That's a team sport People don't care about you as individuals and anyway, you know I'm not playing properly no more. I didn't actually. A lot's changed. Yeah. Technically, showing the texels is a team spore. They're your teammates. And you've done it before. That's what I don't get. Yeah, well, that was then. This is now. Yeah, lot's changed. I get it. It's different when you were a kid. People just think it's cute. There's no judgment. Well, you're not being judged, are you? It's the teexels. People will be watching them, not you. I've said no, George What is it with this family? Maybe we all get that you have to push yourself once in a while. Part of growing up, not that you'd know. Oh, and you do. Didn't even have the bottle to turn that cock down and now look where you are. It's called facing up to responsibility. notot just running away at the first sign of trouble. Kira, I didn't mean Leave me alone. Kira Evening, David. Thanks for calling back. All right, Chris. Where's the fire? The fire. Malcolm said you wanted to speak to me urgently. Oh, I've got good news for you, That's all. Okay. you know what this week's been like? I don't know I've got time for this mysterious summons. I've got someone here who'd like a word. David. Martin. Hi I am your salvation. In what way? You'll see. Oh, I wish everyone would stop talking in riddles. I am the chairman, you know. You are allowed to tell me what's going on. Be at the Casey Meetss Ring in an hour and all will be revealed. How you're early now?? Allright head, I'm sorry, I can come back, don't worry. Well, I stayed late yesterday so I had an early finish today and I didn't fancy going home. Susan's been driving me nuts. Last night's gone to her head. She hasn't stopped texting lotie. Are we doing all right for time as long as we're heading to the show ground in the next half an hour we'll be fine. Oh Well, M you, you never know we rush ourour traffic? we're on the clock are we? This is a favour. I'd rather not be spending the evening with Martin Gibson. Oh Iignnore me. No no, what's on? No itasts nothing. I just ran into him in the gents last night Okay, Kar' gone. What? She's not hand George George, it's fine. It's fine. She's already texted me. She's just off around the village, Clara Ed. Oh Ed, I think the back wheels of the trackor need a bit of a clean before we get on the road. rightight? No, Ed. Oh, o sure Well, just come and find me when you're ready to leave. Yeah, we'll do, we. You right, Granda. Yeah, yeah, fine Sit name, George One of those chaps, is it? I don't know what you mean Now all I was going to say was that although Kira and you are alike in many ways, there are important differences. I know her biology works great at George. you know what I mean You need to stop expecting Kira to make the choices that are obvious to you and start listening to her. Bight, thanks. I'm not finished. No The synth cot. I get people's issues, but you didn't hear Bill's pitch. He's a difficult man to say no to sure is. And there are benefits, Grant. honest. Explain them to me then. It's all the safety features. Me and Amber would know what was happening with that baby twenty for seven if they changed position, if they were too hot and their heart rate is. no, that's wonderful, George and I can Absolutely see as first time parents how all those extra features would be reassuring. Thank you. The reality is though, you'd be lucky to get that baby in a cock for more than five minutes at the start When we add your mum She spent the first six months asleep on my chest Christopher was even worse You don't need the lightest kid to be a good parent, George You need love And that's what everyone sees in your call The hours of work you put into it Amber like this Snth cot? Hid and the Gundy cot. She loves it. There you go. She loves it Listen. It's like I hear the words but I don't know what to do with them. You don't need to do anything. In this case you've already done the good thing Don't overthink it. Suppose the Gordons could keep the synth cot for when the baby stays with them. reckon the cot fits more with their decor anyway. Thanks for the chat granddad. No problem, lad. That grundy cot has carried six babies safely through the beginning of their lives. It'll be perfect for our little one Al right, I'm here. I'm prepared to be amazed. Well, just hold that thought. What's Martin doing? He's been out there an hour now with a clipboard or on his phone for a bit. Now I'm aware of the grand plan, but I've got to admit I'm a bit confused. You're not as confused as me. Enlighten me. What is this grand plan? Well, take a look at where we are and think back a few days. Oh Wow and the cavalryes arise. There you go. Martin sourced us some water to spray on the equestrian rings, not drinking water, processed up from a reservoir. But I was not expecting this, Martin. What can I say? Go big or go home Well, David, it was worth giving up my evening just for that reaction. We got youap Yeah right right, Chaps. sorry, Becky Gemmmer, Chaps and chap it is.
