Grange Farm has milk problems, the new hymn books cause concern all round and William’s appointed temporary head keeper!

Radio Times: Will Janet don that stetson

Characters: Eddie, George, Jack, Janet, Joe, Peggy, William

• There’s general concern in the village about the church’s new hymn books and what this entails for the services (Peggy was concerned that the oil drums were for a steel band!) but Janet’s a little fed up with some of the scare-mongering about the scale of the changes.

• Jack’s a little worried about the weekend, with George and Greg visiting the Game Fair, who will mind the shoot? Greg and George are both very impressed with William and George asks him if he wouldn’t mind taking on a few of the more senior duties over the weekend. A Grundy as (temporary) Head Keeper. The world has moved on ….
