So to character Tracey, he loves helping at the shop Have you asked him about it? I've tried sos joy, but he seems to be enjoying not telling us. He's very chipper for what Jazzer says, so it can't be nothing bad. I hope I'm like that when I get to his age. eightighty seven today. No A bit younger than Dard. Look, Tracy, I still feel bad about what Ive said to you.? Don't be silly. I were just as bad. I realise you do your best with dad, but I couldn't stand him running rings r you anymore. You don't do that, Susan. No, he does. I know you can't see it but he does. He's perfectly capable his dad I just can't be bothered. Well, he'll have to do a few things for himself now because Clive's even lazier than him When our fezy teed I tell Clive was finding it more russele than he'd expected whatever he made out. I hope he's remembering all his tablets. Oh I wouldn't bet on it. ' Dad's old routine will be up the shoute, wouldn't it? Of course it will, but we won't see S I know.

Yeah, you'd better show me, ' I mean, you're needed for crop spraying all week A bit quieter in here now. Oh hey, Helen. Yeah. Natasha said she and Emma were rushed off their feet earlier, whichich is great. I mean Not that they were rushing around, but that we had lots of customers. I know what you mean. Open forum Sunday is good for business, eh? Yeah, it's certainly better than last year. But you're welcome to join us. Susan's been whished off by Linda to talk about the fate. I wish I could Tracy, but I'm taking over from mum at the shop until we close up I hope you've't payid for your cakes, by the way. A free cake is theest we can do for you both. actually. we had two coffees and a cake Natasha insisted're fair enough. Oh listen, I was really grateful to Brad this morning. The bolt on my garden gate was stuck solid. Os plays up and all, but I'll send Jazz around with the oil can see if that'll help. Oh, thank you so much, Tracy. You've all been amazing Hopefully things will calm down this week so I can catch my breath. I hate to say, but Henry and Jack were in here with your dad just now, begging him to help them decorate their rooms this week. It's starting tomorrow say He laughed and told him to talk to you. Oh. Don't worry, Helen, everything will get sorted. I mean, it's wonderful how much they love the house, especially considering it's so much. Well, it's just that bit smaller than Beeachwood, but they've got their own rooms again, so I was hoping they could just enjoy that for five minutes. That's kids for you, yeah Before I head to the shop, have you had any more thoughts about increasing your hours? Oh, not exactly, you're so good with the cheese making, Tacy. You're a natural, honestly. I've been talking to Ian about developing my new cheese. I have mentioned that, haven't I? I think so. Yeah. so he's going to talk to his contacts for me In the meantime, I need to experiment with a few different approaches, so if you wouldn't mind helping me one afternoon this week, try out a few things. I'll be here anyway, wn't I great? But I'd love to make you permanent full time. Sorry, Helen. I ain't had a minute to think it's rue. Oh well, don't leave it much longer. I've been telling M and dad what a superstar you are with the cheese. I'll let you know soon. I promise. Okay Please, please say yes No, I don't know what that says. Sorry, my phone won't make it any bigger. I don't need to see it anyway. I just want you to do. What I asked a couple of hours ago and make sure the sprayer is ready for tomorrow, please? There's nothing to do. Yes, there is. Adam's done it. What? And he's on the sprayer tomorrow morning, not me. Adam, I'm doing Tuesday onward. But that's not what I told you. No but you're still here I thought you'd have gone home by now. Oh I'm just on my way. I would tell him Brian about your schedule, which I have absolutely no interest in. Afternoon, Brian. I did email it to you ages ago, Didn't you get it? Oh This is ridiculous. Should I send it again? Don't bother. I'm going to get off then. Okay. I'm starting with Whitere tomorrow, then you can get on with Broadbank on Tuesday See you then, Brian early. Thankshead. Jheers. And enjoy your line tomorrow. Yeah, I'll tryin. Brian, can I have a word? Not if it's about your damn schedule. It's about Wednesday afternoon. Martin wants a sit down about the BL contracts. He's waiting for you to confirm a time. you know? Didn't you get his email either There's absolutely no need for a sit down, I thought I made that cleaar. Martin thinks otherwise and seeing as he represents our biggest client, I'm not sure we should ignore him. No one's ignoring him, Aadam. How's four o'clock on Wednesday? Well, if I have to. Do you want to make a note in your phone? No, I don't. Because he wants reassurance that we're capable of delivering on the BL contract. Capable, off course we're capable That's what I'm paying Ed for, ing he didn't realize. I want him spraying the fields this week while I cover the paperwork. Yeah. So why the hell you've unilaterally given him the morning off? I have no idea. He's working solidly next week, Brian. We need him fit and ready. He's a contractor, since when do we worry about that? When you want to get the best out of people? Oh, and just talking of paperwork, I had a call from one of our suppliers saying we've paid them twice. What? for the deerworming dredch. Whit was due, wasn't it? And I paid it last week. Listen, Brian. I'm across the ordering, the invoices, the scheduling, all of it. So can you please stop intervening or we'll start looking like we don't know what we're doing Nonsense. Everyone makes the odd mistake and it proves we a human I D don't know why the hell you're still here, Adam. I've told you I'm in charge now. But you're not Brian. Legally, the partnership is still in charge and that means me. whether you like it or not Sorry, David, nothing on the scan for this one. Oh reallyally? All done girl. No shame. G. Oh that the last? For today, Alllister. Yes, thanks. Pretty good result, but still work for Hector to do. Ruth always does well with AI How did the shearing go last week by the way? Oh great. yeah. Yeah, a couple of Scottish guys this time. Narly as good as the New Zealanders. And George Grundy helped out. Well, he's a natural was sheep? Good on him? Flock's back at home farm now. But honestly, the atmosphere there. You mean Bran and Adam? Yeah Poor Ed Grundy stuck in the middle. Well, I know nothing about it, except that there'll be some kind of home farm apocalypse in a couple of weeks. Yeah, that's when Brian's fully back in charge and Adam's, well, Adam is toast. I suppose so ye. It's not worth having a word, David. You're closer to Brian than most. Now he wouldn't want to hear it, but if he's not listening to his kids. He might very well have right on his sight, I don't know. Being right and being pragmatic are very different things Anyway, how's the best ever Borchester show shaping up? Very nicely. thans for asking. Are you still okay to supervise our on site vets? Looking forward to it. Good. Well, I say very nicely, but financially. Not so nice? Our trade stand bookings are right down. Even our regulars are thinking twice this year. Oh, now you mention it Someone had a stand last year, maybe a pet shop owner, one of our clients anyway. and he complained bitterly about u o what was it he said? The payment system, I think. The payment system. Something like that Sorry, David, I can't remember exactly. No, no, that's useful. I'll ask around. Oh, and while I'm here, do you know who from your lot need to transport to Edgmeston on Friday evening? The minib company want final numbers. Right, well Ben definitely, not sure about Pip and Stella. Sorry, we can't come, Alister. I love a bit of T twenty, but there's an anniversary due at the events bar. Yeah, Ruth said Oh, she told me that your dad had got an e reader for his birthday. He certainly did. My sister gave it to him and he hasn't launched it out the window yet. He got me to set it up for him and he loves it. What? I'm not joking, David, he's reading the complete works of Plato as we speak Jim is reading ancient Greek philosophy on a screen.fraid so The world has truly gone mad So my maate said if we choose a style like font, colour and stuff, she can knock up the wedding invitations for us. Really? Yeah. All push paper and everything. they look really elegant, here. She's done all my friends We need to get on with it, don't we? October's not far away. Well, I'll get some samples and pop them on our moodboard and we'll see what we think. It's looking fabulous, isn't it? There's definitely a style emerging I'm not sure Rosie's on the same page as us might. I don't know, she's in raptures about her teacher's wedding. that was back in the eighties. I am not wearing shoulder pads. No way Thanks for lunch, Pet. Sorry. I know I'm rubbish company. I just I wish this genonomic councselor would hurry up and ring. Yeah. Where's your cluster meeting? Half hour but I said I'd do on my laptop so I could move into the other room. Okay, thanks. It shouldn't be long now. And the other thing, I keep thinking about Stt Stephven's. Stephven's, what for My entire family have gotten married in that church for me Not even a blessing. know To give Allan his due, he was very sympathetic. I guess. he said we could have prayers, didn't he? But we're a hardly big church goers, so it's not the end of the world. I know. Thank goodness we didn't do open farm Sunday. I couldn't have coped yesterday, not with this hanging over me. I doubt Ruth would have been up for it either. No. Right. I've written down all our questions so try and jot down the answers, okay? because it'll be a lot to remember. Thanks. Wh. Why don't they ring? I just want to get this over with now. I' runung out with waiting. Me The Engagement's really positive, George. Pow's the tomatoes will you? Oh sure. Yeah. The rails are doing great. Now they are. Now we're doing it my way. Okay, Amber. You're the brains on the beauty. The landscape is the beauty, but you have captured it brilliantly. W all this work, it better bring loads more people to the show. It will. Younger people, especially. Good because that's what David Archer wants. The proof of the pudding, as Clarary says. The pudding being A attendance numbers, yeah. Although no I want a pudding. Yogurt? Oh yes, please. I could graze all day long Well, it all goes to the baby so Gay's away. Not all, sadly. But hopefully I won't gain too much baby weight. I don't care if you do. I care. How I see it is there'll be more of you al love. H Here you go. Thank you. When we get paid for the show, we can buy that pram buuggy car seat thing you like. The all in one, yeah. should cover it, hopefully with my sponsorship deals. Oh, how, it's David. Hello , I was literally just saying to George, the engagement is really impressive sounds excellent. It is, David. So how can I help? Right, I'm trying to get to the bottom of why our trade stand bookings are so low. Are they? Yeah. Oh. wait, let me put you on speaker so George can hear. Hey David. Oh George, hi? Yeah, basically someone Oh, right. in what way? I don't know exactly No worries. I'll give my boss a ring now Sure, S that there are still trade stands available We'll have a think Don't worry, leave it with us, David You're very welcome. All right, bye. byye bye Another satisfied customer? One, anyway. although if we get this job every year, the extra money would be amazing. And other shows in Borsitire. Sky's the limit with us I? Absolutely Thanks for hanging about today, Stella. I really appreciate it. Yeah, it's fine. I' got a visit of three, but it should be done by then. Well let's hope so. Well mum will be on my back about afternoon milking. Oho. U no, it's Alisair. Alister? Pip. Just a quick one. Sure. I need final numbers for the minibus on Friday . Are you and Stella coming with us? Are we on the minib on Friday? I might drive Not sure we have. Can I let you know later? Sorry, is okay? Oh just messed me yeah, thanks. I will. All right, bye. Bye now This waiting is killing me. Is it her? Yes, it must be. Oh finally. I'll leave you to it. Okay, good luck, okay. Thanks, Tella. You can do this. hope so U hello Pip Acher speaking That's it, Chap. Hey David. Oh George. Wha! That is one gigantic bull. Are we okay to come near him? Yeah, sure he's a softie. Aren't you, Hector? Yeah, don't worry. Hey Hector. Look at that muscle. He's in fine shape, isn't he? Amazing beast. Hector always cheers me up Don't you, boy? Which is a good job because I just had more bad news. Our usual car dealership isn't doing Borchester showow this year. How come? Only doing Felpishhing, whichich is particularly crushing because he always takes a big stand around the main arena. That's not good, notot good at all. I'm not sure if it helps, but we have got some Iel for you. Intel? Okay Sorry, have you tried ringing me? No no. Where's drop your own Graammar's broken clock for Leonard anyways? Oh I see. Yep, if it's broken, Leonard will mend it. Th thing is, David, I called my boss and he thinks the show's wiFi might be the issue. Aha. It's incredibly slow, so payments can take a while to go through. embarrassing for the businesses And annoying for the customers. I see. Yeahah I wonder if we can upgrade it. Worth considering. I'll talk to the committee Thanks, both. This could make all the difference Sorry love, that meeting really ran on. I've made you a coffee. Oh, cheers So What did they say? Quite a lot in the end. Right? She talked about the testing process and how it can throw up all kinds of issues. Okay. A lot of it about the implications for my family and how I felt about that. Did you say we'd talked it all through? with each other, obbviously, that's why we bought the test, even though we haven't discussed it with Mum, Joshu, or Ben. But it's still your decision Of course, but if I have the test, Josh is bound to find out the result one way or another because we have to tell Mum then. Well unfortunately that can't be helped. U what else did I write down? U Dpending on out u Oions and what was that say? Babies. Babies. Well if I'm positive if I have the brachogene variant, that means I'm high risk for ovarian cancer too, doesn't it? Yeah. So there are surgical options, obviously, but then having another baby becomes a problem. Okay. Rosie would love a little brother or sister. She said that more or less than she could speak I suppose I've always assumed that I'd have more than one child, you know? Mum and dad had us three. There's even more of you Chaos of a big family? I wouldn't call it chaos. No, f. But surely we're getting ahead of ourselves here. The test is the first thing to get done and then we know what we're dealing with. Sure, yeah. I she felt we're lucky in that we've got some options for another baby, haven't we? Yeah, yeah, I guess. I mean, we' both got ovaries in a womb. That's true But I think we need to focus on what's ahead of us now, not get distracted with other stuff that can be sorted out later on, know if we need to. Yeah, We can only take things one step at a time. I know. Good So you said yes to the test? I did. It'll come in the post in a week or so. And the results? About a month or so. Right Then we'll have some solid answers. H without having to wait for Mum's referral which she hasn't even asked for yet This is really hard, isn't it? Oh, it really is But once you've done the test, we'll know for sure, one way or the other No, I'm sorry, No it's not making sense. You'll have to explain properly. No, I'm extremely busy on now Jacob. I No idea. I think Helen's on to the primary school. It you act in the Bber B L Just rather sound like that. And have you worked out what my cheeky young neighbour's done? I gather it's more of an accusation so far. I'd have to ask Henry when I see him Parsh Beck there Celebrating din at the vet say you? Double chalk chip For me to enjoy my vanishingly rare afternoon off. A whole left andough. Iidyllic peace What about you? Tucky Sanies. Tracy wants lunch at him for some reason. I usually stay at Wk me. Right.. Are you going to the womomen's T twenty Cricket on Friday? I, They're probably so excited about it me Tracy and Brad over be there. Jim wants me to go too, so Alison says it's compulsory. N getting do that, you thena Well, I expect I'll enjoy it once I'm there.. Hey better pee for this and G you Tracy. See you later Jaku. See you, Jazm. Honestly, is everything okay? No, unfortunately not. the school are insisting I go there straight away. It's about Jack. I can tell it's a waste of time where the secretary isn't having any of it. That's annoying. It it's worse than that Jaku because I'm supposed to be said I'd take Kirsty to her twelve week scan. Is that today? picking her up any minute? Well I was. But where's Eric? He missed his connecting flight so he won't land in the UK till tonight. Typical of my brother. whyy didn't he come a day early? The thing is, I don't want Kirsty going alone. No, no, perhaps not. She's feeling quite well, very anxious about it all, anxious slash terrified There's a difficult history, isn't there? This could not be worse timeing Jakob. I promised she wouldn't be on her own H. You brought the sunshine trase. Well, you brought the sandwiches. I had to bring something didn't know? So what's that then? Something happened at work? sort of Susan overheard Pat and Tony talking about me. Okay. They're worried I've not accepted the dairy job because I don't like the bridge farm vibe. Brid'ge farm vibe Have't even got a vibe? Well. Susan said ethos, but she means vibe. Right, but you don't mean it idea. No, I love it, Jazzer. Not as much as the ball mine, but that's a point, isn't it? Is it? Why would I quit the ball when that is a brilliant vibe? You said last night was boring? Well, yeah, a grumpy Brian Aldrid sat in one corner and Pipp and Stell are deep in conversation in the other and not much else Anyway, why dod you have to quit? You' st there hard evenings and weekends like now. It won't be the same though. It be just the same ass what I'm saying Helen wants a decision and I don't know what to do No How about we talk it through the night then? Find out what Chseie and Brad think I know? No, ' Helen wants me for a special try out session lightater for her new cheese. She's out for a couple of hours now, then I'm back helping her. Is that Ma? Jaz, every time I see her now she asks me about the job and it'll be just the two of us together all afternoon She's on the phone in the shop by the way. Arguing with Jack' school. Didn't he sound good? No for poor Jack? Oh dear. But that's the other thing. Do I want to spend all day working with my next door neighbour who is also my boss? That'ns not that bad. Imagine if Martin Gibson moved in the other side of us? I'd make his life a misery till he moved it You would at all But it ain't the same for me because I like Helen. Having her on the other side of the fence though, it's awkward, isn't it? Maybe I Is that the real reason here? How'd you mean? Why you have not took the job? You've lost me. I'd say there's an old man shaped elephant in the room. You what? What Elephant no in the room in fact. What are you all about? Yada. Oh, him I, him. Thanks for bringing me back up Are You feeling okay Th were very quiet Hm. I expect you're anxious, Kirsty And just doesn't really cover it. That's what Helen said. But just to check, do you want me going in with you to the scan? I mean, I can of course of course I can, but I wouldn't want to assume. Really, my useless brother should be here. But I can be very supportive when required. Okay. I can try and channel my inner cate if that would help. Preferably not But if you could come in and film it for Eric, that would be great. Oh, sure, well, I can film it on my phone, can't I? Yeah, thanks. Good, well that's settled But you know, when Phoebe was having contractions in Blackcool, I kept her distracted by describing some amazing animal births Would that help you at all? Not really. Oh you're thinking of your previous Yeah. That and whether this baby is actually okay, healthy, you know Well, this scam will give you dates and also showar up anything that's know unexpected. Well, not everything some tests too. I mean, we'll deal with whatever happens obviously, but it's still kind of scary. I can see that We never found out why I miscarried last time So Well, there could have been something wrong, you know. Yeah. Nature can be cruel, I know, but sometimes she's cruel for a reason Hm Ah notot sure I agree with that, Kirsty. No Anthropomorphism is rarely a good idea, I find Okay. Sorry, but I've spent years listening to animal owners talking about nature's so called cruelty or her wondrous benevolence. But the only way to understand these things is to look at it scientifically. Knowledge is power And that's what this scan is. Oh I wish I could think like that. St above my emotions, not just drown in them. But you can, Kurirstie. You are an intelligent, resourceful person who surely has to think scientifically at work. Now and then. You simply have to look at the scan unit, consider how it works, all that technology and expertise working together for the benefit of living creatures It's fascinating when you think about it. Oh that's true, I suppose It's just like my equine equipment at Lovel James. Iy Miller? Oh gosh. Oh, it's gonna be fine. Yes, yeah, we're here I wouldn't mind, but Jack says they were picking on a year two boy so he had to intervene. Good for him. But obviously the bullies have a different story, so in the meantime, they snd them all home. So unfair. Well, I'm not sure fairness is the top priority at school. When my kids were little anyway Yes the deputy head she's clearly been overwork since the head went off six She looked like she was going cry. Oh dear. But I'm pretty sure Jack's telling the truth, so I can't just let it go Right. Well, I hope Jack's okay. Yeah, he's fine. Mum's popping over to keep an eye this afternoon Sorry to talk over the fence to you like this. That's okay. So what time do you want to do our experimental G session? Whenever you're ready, Helen. should we say three o'clock Do you need a lift? No, no, no, no, I'll make my own whitear. I'll see you later. Oh Try. do you think you're any nearer to a decision about the job? Ill need to talk it through with the family. Yeah sure, I get that, but if you could give me an answer by Thursday, that'd be wonderful. Otherwise mum thinks we should advertise. Thursday. Okay, thank you. See you later then A, more roadworks. Fill in potholes again by the looks of it. Hallelujah. Rex thinks leaving craters in the road is a deliberate strategy to slow traffic down. Es out like being some kind of slalon? It does. But how many four way temporary lights do we need on one journey? Oh no, have you got appointments this afternoon, Jakob, please don't say you've had to cancel some because of me. No no, no, not at all. I had a clear afternoon. I should have asked earlier. Sorry. I didn't really have the headspace. But it's done now, h? got through it. Yeah, and she saw nothing worrying, thank goodness. I hope I didn't annoy her too much. She wasn't that keen on explaining how the equipment worked, was she? She was more focused on me being comfortable and getting the scand done properly. Which is her job after all. Yeah. And she did it well. And you'll get your results back next week and then hopefully you can stop worrying. Yes, that would be good Anyway, thanks for your support. You got me through a really horrible day. There's no problem,? I've sent the scan video to Eric. Oh, great, thank you. But if you need anything again, you only have to ask Kate tells me that I'm an outstanding step granddad. Right. So I can be an equally good uncle. off course. It Funny to think, we'll be family in a weird way. not that weird. Being as you'll be my brother's of that Baby mama. Baby ma.

Won't Neil be annoyed? and Martin might be sniffing around. I don't care if he is. I'm a good worker. And if we need do we bit extra time for lunch once in a while, then that's what happens. Not sure Neil'll see it like that He helpy wouldn't he? Anyway, why I don't get his trace. whyy is it such a bad thing you do is to stay at Clive's? I'm not saying it is. I mean maybe he's happier at Clive's Clive will be happer he's got Bert's pence and he spend. That money's for dad, not Clive. Dad's not Daft, you know? I'm not saying he is, but Clive's no daft either anyway My point is you're have to hookew. You've finally got time for your sell and you deserve it. Do I, though? I feel like, you know, in a way I've sort of failed. That's rubbish. Yogi's waitited for nothing here. That's what I thought. but he's voted with his fate.

She said it was her fault that he wouldn't eat salads, get out of his chair Quit the factag you name it. And she were right. What? Not that it were our fault. She admits that, but she were right that he's not been helping himself enough. can he make him? I know that. I do. It's just justust whatet I miss him, okay? I miss having him around. He's my dad and I love him, grouch the awkward old git that he is. Okay Accepting this job feels like I'm admitting he's not coming back. H. so phone him.

The joys of summer Yeah The Lambs love it too. They're a good size, David I like having sheep on home farmland. Wheat and barley don't quite hit the spot, do they? Well, the cash does. Not that it's any more reliable than sheep nowadays. Not with the weather and the world markets, no. Brian I realize it's none of my business, but have you really thought through taking charge of this place? I've thought of nothing else. Adam and Debbie gave me no choice. Really? Yes, really. Don't think I've clocked how power mad Adam is. But Megalomania doesn't end well when you lack business, now. Oh come on Adams a great farmer. He has a real depth of knowledge. He knows the land inside out. plus he's very ambitious for the farm. He's ambitious, all right. Turns he's got quite a nasty streak to go with him. Well, how did you expect him to react? What? You tell him he'll inherit the farm, and then you do a screeching U turn. And last week you call the police. He came running to you, dididdy? Well, that doesn't surprise me. Look, as a matter of fact, I bumped into him right after you told him he'd inherit It was genuinely over the moon I didn't take a genius to get something big had happened. I swore him to secrecy. it wasn't difficult to winkle the truth out of him. I hope you know what you're doing. That's all. No offense, David. but as youve said earlier, it's not your concern. Hello both. Hi Ed. Did you check on the maze? Yeah, yeep, yeah, looks great. And I'll check over the trailer now, like you ask. Good. Sorry, David, I need to make a call. All right Wh me that sounded a bit strong. Well, sometimes you have to tell it like it is. Yeah, I suppose. I can't do right for room. Adam says one thing, Brian says another. I imagine. The way Brian speaks to him. I don't know why Adam doesn't just walk. He's just sticking around in case Brian changes his mind. Well, from what I've seen, there's no chance of that.way While the partnership exists, it's got legal contracts to fulfill. Yep. I guess so. The shap are in fine condition. Arenn't they? Yeah, timimes like this, I look at them and know it's all worthwhile I bet you feel the same about your texels Every day. Yeah. I'm gearing up for the Borchester show and all? Is's a rosette or two coming your way,? I'm quietly confident, shall we say U Why does he keep doing this Afternoon We're still on for this afternoon, Martin if that's why you're ringing. G hear Actually I've got to do a few quick emails. A couple of orders that need amending. so could we make it quarter past?? Brianal Yeah, sorry about that, but it's all sorted. What the hell was Brian playing? I can't apologize enough that you ended up in the thick of it, Martin, but it was just crossed wires Yeah, if we could forget Friday, that'd be the best thing, I think. Anyway, how are you? All well at Berow Are we talking about Jazzer, I wonder See you that . Sorry to pounce. I was chatting to Helen in the shop and we saw you heading home. Oh, I've literally just walked in the door. Do you want to come in? No, no, you're all right, Ambera. can't stay. What I came to say was that we have just confirmed some faster WiFi for the show. Oh, pererfect. So where all systems go for spreading the word Let's hope it ups the trade stand bookings, eh? Well, yeah. George and I can get the message out to local businesses. Excellent. I've got the site map here. if you're interested. sureure. Where are we? Yes. These are the big trade stands around the main arena, you see here They need takers because that's a crucial chunk of the show's income. So these are the ones we sold. Hang on, so those other two are still up for grabs. That's right. and we really don't want big gaps around the arena. But we're only a month away. Not great, is it? No. I just hope this new wifei'll do the trick because it wasn't cheap, I' tell you. Right. Still fingers crossed, it'll be worth it So which one does your car dealer guy usually take? This one, ye. Good position facing the arena. He usually pays a fortune for that. suchuch a shame he's not going to be there. So if your boss happens to know someone local, I can probably think of some options myself. Really? Well, if you let me know your thoughts, I'll get our volunteers straight on to them. Of course Thanks, Aama. Bye, David. Bye What do you want Martin will be here in twenty minutes. Are you on your way? I will be shortly. I wanted a quick catch up beforehand, so we're singing from the same hymn sheet. What is so to sing, Adam? And we ought to double check all the small print in case there's something we've missed. What? We've worked those estate contracts for decades, Adam. We know exactly what we're doing I know, but Martin wants every eye dotted this year, especially after Friday. Friday was entirely your fault, Adam, so I suggest you do the double checking. But you won't be late. This is important. I'm checking on the deer, then I'll be there. Sorry. Ed checked them before he went home. What? Yeah, he said everything was fine. Didn't you see his message Brian How are you feeling, Amber? You look like you're proper blooming if I'm allowed to say that. You are. I just feel bigger every day. That sounds about right. Yeah putut your feet up for a bit. Actually, I will. that's okay. Emma won't be long And's George behaving himself, is he? He's so much happier now that he's at Meadow Farm. You can't beat an honest day's work, okay? Sure I'm just struggling with something. Nothing to do with George. It's a tricky dilemma. Well, you're looking at the dilemma king here, Amber. A I? Trust me, if I can navigate my way through home farm Civil warar, I reckon I could advise on anything. Okay. N try me. All right, I will. David Archer has told us a couple of the big main arena trade stands for the show aren't sold yet. Theyre' fine, are't they? I know. And what happens if their incomees right down? so long as you get paid. But George and I are doing such good work on this E, and we'd like to do it again next year. That's a nice little learner for you, is it? Especially with the baby coming. Okay, so you want the show to do well? I really do And it seems that one of the unsold stands, well, it's usually occupied by a car dealership. yeah. Well and you're thinking that you should contact your dad? Well should I? It's so complicated with my parents. Have you spoken to him since? Since they were horrible? They've messaged a few times, a lot actually. Okay. I'd hate dad to feel obliged to spend money. And I do not want him thinking he's doing me a favour. Well can you say that to him? I could, but you don't know them, honestly, if I give them an. Look that's their first grandchild in there I'm pretty sure they're going to want to help out a bit. Yeah, but I need everything out in the open, you know? because that's always been the problem. the stuff going on underneath, what they really think, what they expect. I've never understood the rules. if you know what I mean. So I just never knew where I stood. That's not great for a kid. It wasn't. I don't want any of that going on when the baby's born. Of course not Listen, I don't know the guy, but your dad sounds like the ultimate businessman. Yeah, he is. You're pretty smart business wise yourself. So if you just said, hereere's the deal, take it or leave it, that work? H Maybe. But if you're not comfortable with it, Ambera, don't do it. You don't need extra stress when you're pregnant I don't. No, that's true. Thanks for listening, Ed. No probms No, I told you, Martin, it's all in hand. There's no need to micromanage us. I simply want reassurance that the BL contract will be fulfilled to the letter. I'm paying you a hell of a lot of money, Brian. I know that. The work will be done exactly as specified. Thanks, Adam, but I need to hear it from Brian. And you have Because there are substantial penalties built into our contract. Which you needn't worry about because everything will be delivered, won't it, Brian Of course it will. I mean so for instance, look, if the wind gets up next month, we'll spray pod sticker on the oil seed rail. Absolutely. And then moving forward, let's see Yes. hereere we are harvest. I've emailed Martin Ald the Churchills. Yeah, so it's winter wheat first. Winter wheat. No, no, we stuck to spring wheat this year You're looking at the twenty twenty five spreadsheet. A I Oh my mistake. In which case it's spring Ball in Tenek, am I right? Actually, Ten is down to Herele this year. This is reassuring, I don't think. Really? it's all under control. You have my worse. Sorry, Adam, but that means nothing If you're going to be out of the picture in the next fortnight you're making a mountain out of a mohill. Have you forgotten your little escapade last August? I certainly haven't. If I were you, I'd be slowing down now, playing more bridge, booking my next holiday, leaving others to worry about the harvest. Lucky you're not me, then Now I've got things to do, so if you'll excuse me. Brian, we are not finished here. I say we are I am really sorry I think you might be overtired Give it to me straight, Adam Does BL need to find a new contractor or not? No, no, I promise you, the work will be done. Will it? Yes Okay, if there's any danger of things going awry, rest assured I have something up my sleeve. I hope so, because as far as I'm concerned, this is the very last chance for Home Farm I'm pouring you a cupa, Stella Hostman's been? Oh, didn't hear the bx. Hey, u what time's your first visit this morning? Oh I'm just in the office today, Pip He's here? What is? The genomic test. H I wasn't expecting it today. No me Is this my tea Yeah O If you wanted to do it now, the test, I can get it back in the post on my way to work. If that helps. I'mot sure. Okay. I think Well it's just Mum needs me to help with the fencing at Badger's Bank. W's pretty quick, isn't it? You just spitting the pop thing. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll do it later and take it to the post office myself. I can save you a trip at all. Oh, no, no, don't don't way Actually, I did think of something this morning when I was milking. Yeah. Yeah, because if it's you know, if the test is bad news basically, if it is, will we still get married What? W we? Why wouldn't we How can you even ask that question, Pip? Oh sorry. Well yeah, I know of course, but we'd hardly be in the mood, wouldn't we Sure I think I'll just get going actually. No you haven't drink any tea? No, I need to make a couple of calls and I've got a ton of emails. Oh, Stella, wait We'll later, yeah. I didn't mean it in a bad way. Bye. Stella That'll be the freezer full once we've done these So anyway, dad sounded okay. More than okay, Susan, really? He's eating wonderful meals. They're constantly going fishing and he's never slept better because Clive's got a special mattress for him. No, doubt that, Tracy. They've just come back from the barbers. The Barbers. Why instead of asking our Chelsea, yeep Hm, Clive's got him to pay for him both, hasn't they? Probably. But he wouldn't talk about money, I bet he wouldn't. Clive will be spending a lot. But he did sound really subtle Youve got enough lids. He reckons Clive's gonna see about finding him a lady friend. Y. All in all Our old dad is happy as Larry and he has no plans whatsoever to come home. Wow I know. If he says he's alright. We have to take him at his wor. What else can we do? Now then, I was talking to Neil last night and we both think you should take the job here. Yeah? Apparently, Adam might not be at home farm for much longer. Really? Neil heard Martin talking about it on the phone So Ellen might offer it to him if you're not careful. She wants an answer to die. So what's stopping you? The minute I say yes, Dad'll land back on my doorstep. Not while Clyde's getting free aircuts he won't. Look I meant it when I said we can share dad's care between us more, but let's cross that bridge if we come to it. Maybe. You've got a great opportunity. Morning, Susan, morning, Tracy. Hi Hellon. Tracy, you can have a quick word, please? Ohure. You go for it, al right? So that should strengthen it a bit? what's it like your side? It's not great. Listen, Mum, there's something I want to talk to you about. Okay. sound serious. Well, I'm really sorry, but I've ordered a private genomic test What? Yeah, I had a counseseling session on Monday and they sent it through today. But a test You didn't say that's what you'd decided? Well, no, because I wasn't sure, but then well, me and Stella talked about it Lod. Where isnt expensive? Well, Stella put it on her credit card. Gight I'm sorry I didn't speak to you about it. it's your decision, Pip, but I assumed we'd talk it over together if you were planning to get tested. Mum, I need to know if I have the brachagene variant or not. I get that. But how do you know this test is well, proper? we looked into it, don't wery It's the fastest way of finding out, and I know you prefer to trust the NHS, and I realise you're worried about how Josh feels about your results. Well that doesn't mean I won't have a test, but I'd rather speak to him face to face before I decide.s Perhaps I should be waiting too, but Mum, me and Stella can't hope. Neither of us are sleeping. But obviously, you know my result will have implications for everyone, especially you. If you've got it, it's highly likely I have. Yeah, but that's not the same for Josh and Ben. No, they'd be fifty fifty. But Josh preferring not to know, that doesn't outweigh me wanting to. Of course not I'm sorry, it's a lot to take. across. I'd understand if you were. Oh I'm probably a little hurt that you didn't mention it before But no, I'm not cross. Thank goodness I didn't want to do it behind your back. When do the results come back I see Well, I haven't done it yet When the test came out, I couldn't face it.. Right. Okay Let's you and me crack walkking theerm, I really trust your instinct for this, Tracy. So if we work together, our new cheese could make a real impact on the market. Ian thinks so too. Yeah, he has some fantastic contacts. Oh Tracy you're still hesitating. What can I say to persuade you? Sorry. I don't mean to mess you about. But dad leaving, it's not me for six. Of course it has. I were worried, then I felt relieved and this week I realised I were missing him. Poor you. But today, today I'm a bit angry because Dad's been like my third child, worse than a child because he's that awkward. and looking after him meant I had less time for Chelsea and Brad growing up They both had their problems, but I could have been there for them more, if it weren't for dat. Does that make sense? Absolutely. you're upset that he just left. Swand off to Clivees, irrespective of m. A all your precious care It took its toll is what I'm saying. But Perhaps it's been positive too, because Chelsea and Brad are such caring, considerate young people and some of that surely comes from looking after your dad. And I wonder if by going to Clivees's, B's deliberately sharing himself round a bit more, if you know I mean? Maybe. let's face it, it's high time your brother did something positive for your family. too ripe If you find you have more time in your day now, I would love you to use that working here. Yeah, Mato. arere you accepting the job I think I am, Tracy. That's amazing. Thank you. I promise there will be no stopping us now Pet, I'm sorry if I haven't been supportive enough. What? I knew you were struggling with this a while back, but then you seem better. So I didn't want a cry. I did feel better when we found the private test, but I've been having such fun doing wedding prep with Stella and Rosie that We'll have to cancel if I'm positive. Re? Yeah, Estella was upset when I said it, but how can we have a lovely time at our wedding and spend a fortune when we're feeling utterly miserable you as well. But for spawning it, wouldn't that make you feel worse? Mum. I really want to enjoy my wedding and I want Rosie to have the best time ever and first to have a perfect start to our married life together. off course you do. And then After that You know, I think I'll feel strong enough to deal with the future So What are you see? I think I'm saying that I'll do the test after the wedding Okay. That makes sense to me. will it to Stella? Hey, you too. Right on Stella. I thought you' going to work. Well I got halfway to Bortester and I felt bad for arguing with you so I drive back. Right, I'm gonna check the water traroughs for half an hour. Oh, thanks, ma'. I'm glad you came back. Yeah, so am morry So your mum knows. She does know. And I think she's okay. Oh good. Talking to her. is still it. I've decided to delay the test. Just t after the wedding When I'm ready to do it. But P we said we said getting a test was the only way we can settle. I know. Night after night and no sleep, and how many times did we cry? That only got better slightly when we decided that you'd get the test so we'd have some certainty. But what then? Fine, if I'm negative certainty if I'm positive, I mean It's my wedding and I want it to be the best day of my life because I'm marrying you. and I don't want to slope off in the middle to cry my eyes out or watch Mum fixing on a brave face or let Rosie having fun break my heart. This is what you meant this morning. it's just how I feel. I'm sorry. I didn't understand. I totally got the wrong end of the stick. But I will do it if you want that. No, no, no. It's your call. Of course it is. I I feel dreadful now. Oh Thank goodness for this place. This air, the fields Yeah I'm glad the inheritance stuff was sorted before this all came up. Be this is my future. My strength, Brookfield G got to hold on to that. Yeah I can see why Right, let's finish this fenence then, so I've done something useful today. Of course. Can you grab that short strut Pip, H. How about you and Rosie moving into the bungalow? Before the wedding? You, over the summer holidays, you know, it might help. What dod you think? Well wed need to give Hannah time to find somewhere else. Sure, but you know, let's really enjoy being together before the wedding. Okay, then Yeah I'd like that Now Alistair, there was a meaga bordering on non existent array of prawn cocktail flavoured snacks in the village shop. Where's that gone now? So I bought you some of those cheese ones you insist on contaminating the practice staffroom with every lunchtime Well you can thank me later Oh, Yakov, sorry. I also took the liberty of purchasing some mints for you. Well actually they're for the comfort of everyone. If we're all going to be enclosed in a hot minibus space all the way to Edgebaston, I feel breath mints may prove an essential part of our survival kit. Well, I hope you kept the receipt. You know me so well, because currently there is no minibus What do you mean? Flat tyre. Oh heavens. So it's currently stuck on the bypass. Well, can't the driver sort it out? He's waiting for help from the garage, but that could take hours. You might not get to see any cricket at all. D don't seem to have much luck with minibuses Minii. Pardon? It was a pllatypus pllatypi minibus. Oh, don't worry about it I was just looking at taxi prices. Dad's been really looking forward to our trip out. Then this happens. Is Jim in the pub with Kirsty and the others? he's already in Birmingham seeing a friend taxes are going to take forever at this rate. That's all the roadworks. Kirirsty and I were stuck in them on Tuesday. All right Where were you and Kirsty off to then? nowhere special. I just gave her a lift. Her car didn't have a flat tire as well, did it? Oh, this is ridiculous. Maybe we should all just drive to Edgwston. Yes, good idea. Wonder if Kirsty could take a car full? No, she might want to drinkough. Oh, she probably won't. Amber might drive too She and George are coming too, aren't they? Yeah That's right, of course. Yeah, she might volunteer. And Pipp and Stella? No, that meeting is there apparently. goingoing for a quiet curry first. More minints required then? Oh no, hang on what about parking. It's a nightmare around there. Nope, driving won't work So what are we going to do? The evening doesn't go smoothly for Dad, he'll be so disappointed. George and Will were in the shop just now. Couldn't they help the minibus driver with the spare tire? Of course Yacob, you're a genius Oh Yes. Adam I thought you'd be in the office this afternoon. Did you? A'sout time now are you? A Eddan, I thought you must have headed off to Edgwston early Aren't you a cricket fan anymore? Oh, so you skyed off to Borchester for the afternoon. That's all right for some. I see anyway I am, yes Who knows I thought everything important was in the cloud nowadays. Can't you find them on your phone? Did you did No no, I'll deal with those, don't you worry I'm afraid I'm too busy at the moment, wasas that all No, the farm budget forecasts are none of your concern I've never been to an England match before. it's quite an atmosphere. It really is. I haven't been so excited since I went to my first concert. Happy Mondays. I couldn't afford the tickets, but my mate Shona managed to blag us in. Happy days. Happy Mondays. Oh yeah. Chrisp. Oh no, T. I always think those ones taste a bit like feet Oh. I'll have one of their mint though if you're offering. Yeah of course Oh look at my brad. He's having such a brilliant time. Stven Jazz is enjoying himself by the looks of it He's trying his darnedest not to. Can't believe he's coming as killed. Well, actually I probably can. Why do you think I'm refusing to stand by him? I told him, If you want to support everyone but England, Pal, then you're on your own. What is he like Thank goodness, the minibus disaster was averted. Good old George and W? Absolutely. yourour dad was cracking the whip before, were he? How well, dad is. Well, Dad. Never quite know what's going on in that mega mind of his. The many mysteries of Jim Lloyd. He's a sweetie though Is he? You know he is. I suppose Here we've got a tough game aad of us against the Black Piike this weekend. They' batting records way better than ours. Sorry Kirsty couldn't play. Bad back apparently. Oh, it's al right now. haaving a well of a time over there with Henry and Calil. They came up after school so they could drop in on his old schoolmates in soly old for us. Oh, that's nice Everyone having fun. Oh good tie, Yako Thanks again for organising this Aliston. Well, thank you for the provisions. Another drink, anyone. I'm okay, thanks. And what about Jazzer? Do he want to? He can come and get it himself if he does. You right, Aliston. Me? You like a cat or not bricks? Am I? Probably all those E numbers. Oh, sorry. Dad just really wants us to have a nice time. Well, I'm having a bloming brilliant time But Alistra, where is you, dad? I think they're about to do the toss. Oh then I might best get back to my seat. Oh, this is so exciting. Thanks very much, sir. Bye now Still here then? Looks like it If you've come to get your forecast, you'll have to retrieve them from the bin. Actually, I had a message from Ed. What about? I told him not to bother you. One of the Hollton farmers asked about spraying an extra field. All right, I'll work out a new cost. I'm pretty sure we already included it. I need to check. I'll do that. Well the details aren't on the system for some reason Well, then it'll be in this drawer. Yes, so could I look, please? No no, no, I'll look on Monday when I'm in here with Ed. Edd. I'm going to train him up on the system. You You what? He's more of a digital native, isn't he? so he'll be useful IT wise in the future. And you're doing the training. Why not?? Because it'll be the blind leading the blind. Seriously It's time is better spent operating our machinery doing the actual farming work. Rooky and I can both do that And it's my kit, not ours. Unbelievable. Come on, Brian, let me find this paperwork then I'm out of your head. I said no. And I thank you not to engage with my clients in future. Not the Holllaton Fms, not Martin Gibson, nor anyone else understood. I did the quote, Brian. No, no. Home Farm did the quote And you're not home farm anymore, are you? Aren't I That's a shame. because Martin Gibson doesn't trust you, Brian, nor does this Holiton guy? Because he already emailed about this and you replied about something else entirely. What? Now last week. Ed said it was excruciating because the bloke assumed you'd had some work experience kids in the office. I have no idea what you're talking about. We're losing goodwill, Brian. I suggest you stop spouting this rubbish Before I get more annoyed. No one trusts you. Can't you see that? do trust me, so if you want homeome fararm to have any kind of future, will you please move aside and let me do my job. You haven't got a job here. Is that so hard to understand? I'm sorry, but you are deluded if you think Martin or anyone on the BL board will ever forget what happened last harvest. So when it comes to renewing our biggest contract, I'm sure you love undermining me in front of my customers, but it won't change a thing then perhaps this will What's this Read it an you tell me to my face All right, then This is why I was in Borchester. I was seeing my solicitor. Oh w, well, that's a surprise. No We tried the easy route asking you nicely, Miss Werside. Nicely. Nicely you and Debbie tried to mount a coup. It was appalling behaviour. But you failed, Adam, so get over it. Accept a feat, will you? It's not about winning or losing, it's about what's best for this farm. So I'm starting legal proceedings to remove you from the business. Y' what? the stunt with the police last week. You're flailing about in a crucial meeting with Martin, getting all your facts muddled. That's clinst it for me. Your judgment is shot because you're displaying signs of dementia. N this again. You become a danger to our family business, Brian, the business we all depend on That means you have to go G on Jakob. admit you're enjoying yourself. There's a definite smile lurking. Oh, there it is again. Oh, very well I'm enjoying myself. And is that because of the cricket or the company? Well, perhaps it's a bit of both. My work here is done, though for me it's just the cricket. Oh charming. And the beer of course. And dad's on his way over shortly. Oh, is he? He wants to see everybody before the start There's something he wants to tell you all. No, not another medieval tax accounting quirk. He's already told me in Jazzer. Do he? Oh yeah. Tld you what, what's going on? It should really come from him. We're supposed to be partners, Alister. I bought you crisps. Oh just tell him, Alistter. You'llack surprise, wouldn't you, Yakle? Well, I've tried, depends what it is. All right Dad, you see Dad is off on his travels tonight. Bless him. How dod you mean? This now, is his unofficial leaving due. He didn't want a fuss, so it's his secret send off. Wait, you mean he's actually going traveveling. He's off tonight after the match. Train to London. Oh, he'll be just like Paddington. A train to London is hardly travels, Alistter. Where's he heading off to? He's on the Euroostar, first thing tomorrow To be honest, I haven't a clue he won't tell me. What? He won't tell anyone. But he assures me he's done his research and has a detailed itinerary all worked out. so that's why you wanted everything to go smoothly tonight. I wanted it to be just right. Well it is hundred percent. Right, the first overall start soon It's a burning atmosphere. I can feel the tension in the air. We win it and make dad's night There's nothing left to discuss I'll put this letter through the door of Blossom Hill. Don't bother. I wish it hadn't had to come to this. But once again you've proved yourself incapable. Ed Grundy doing the admin now I've heard it all. You haven't quite, but you're about to. Hi Brian. Hey, don't walk off Adam. I'm done with this, Brian. Look, two can play at this game. Game. You're not the only one talking to your lawyer. This isn't a game. You can pop your letter in the muck spreader ' I've got my own and it trumps yours. Really? My solicitor predicted that your solicitor would get you to question my mental capacity. I had to. You left me no choice. But this says my mental capacity is just fine I passed with flying colours. What, feel free to challenge him. But I'm told it'll take you literally years and cost you many many thousands in legal fees. But I will fight you to the bitter end, because you know full well I haven't lost my marbles. Wait wait, is this even real? No it's real And it means you'll have to fend for yourself from now on. No more apron strings to cling ono. And I'm going to say this only once, Adam, so watch my lips
