Further details

Celia is quick to apologise for causing a scene, but with Alan seeking excitement outside the bungalow, and Celia seeking it within, their relationship comes under increasing strain.

Questions are raised when Ted arrives, fresh off a long-haul flight with a lifetime worth of luggage and further surprises in tow...

Raff is left speechless when a giraffe turns up at Far Slack Farm, and Gillian is riddled with old anxieties when it brings unwarranted attention to the barn.

Aspiring YouTube sensations Lawrence and Angus pitch a tent in Gillian's field. Meanwhile, Caroline and Ruth get on like a house on fire, until things take an unexpected turn. And as Judith looks to the future, John begins to look the other way.
