The relationship between David and Kenton continues to deteriorate; Bridge Farm gets a new bull.

Radio Times: David makes an offer, and there is a new start at Bridge Farm.

Characters: , , , , ,
  • Jazzer and Tony discuss the arrival of the new bull. Jazzer offers his help if needed. He admits to being close to starving as Susan in the shop had sold out of his favourite custard doughnuts. Tony tries to cheer him up with the promise of one of Helen’s three-lentil bakes later in the evening. He sounds thoroughly underwhelmed at the prospect.
  • At The Bull, Jolene and Kenton discuss Harrison’s possible lead on the missing bunting. Kenton broods about being financially unable to help Fallon with a replacement. Jazzer walks in and orders a pasty, a steak and kidney pie and a lager. Anything is an improvement on the promise of a lentil bake.
  • Tony tells Johnny that he didn’t know that Jazzer had a hot date and wouldn’t be back for dinner. Still, he has saved him a portion of Helen’s lentil creation. Oops! They look over the new bull and compare notes. Johnny insists that he’s quite happy to work with the new animal. Tony looks forward to his holiday in a few weeks’ time.
  • Jazzer tells Jolene and Kenton that Ed is still fretting about who will be his best man. Jolene suggests that Jazzer would be a good choice but he feels that Ed has other ideas. David turns up for a private chat with Kenton but encounters a glacial reception. Grudgingly, Kenton takes him through to the flat to talk.
  • Tony is pleased that Johnny is getting to grips with the literacy and numeracy elements of his course, as well as the practical parts. He tells Johnny that the agent believes that Ambridge Organics is a going concern but may struggle to achieve the asking price. Johnny suggests Cooper as a name for the new bull, in honour of Peggy’s recent gift to Tony. He agrees.
  • The atmosphere in the flat at The Bull could be sliced with a knife. David opens by acknowledging that he may be partly responsible for Kenton’s financial state. Kenton cuts him short by saying that he is coping well, does not need or want his brother’s concern, does not want to be treated as a charity case and that David must find other ways to salve his conscience. With his brother’s spleen vented, David retires with as much good grace as he can muster.
