Episodes
Marlene feels that Boycie is neglecting her and sees a marriage counsellor but this only increases her dissatisfaction and she throws her husband out. Bryan offers him a roof over his head,his caravan, but not a bed as a sick sheep is using it so Boycie has to sleep on the floor. But the Boyces cannot stay apart for long, and, after Marlene has has a girlie chat with Mrs. Cakeworthy, a reconciliation is on the cards.
Searching through his loft Boycie discovers an ancient scroll giving the recipe for Ye Potato Cyder and a Royal charter giving him the rights to produce and sell it. This leads him to set up his own distillery on the farm and to buy up all the potatoes in the area. He attracts a lot of attention, though unfortunately this includes the attention of the Driscoll brothers who return to reclaim what was buried on Boycie's land and to burst his bubble.
Bored with her routine Marlene takes up photography. She also gets involved in charity work through which she and Boycie meet smooth-talking Tristram. Overhearing Tristram on the phone saying that there might be a knighthood involved leads Boycie to assume the knighthood is for him and he's happy to play host until it dawns on him that Tristram swings both ways and fancies him. Marlene, meanwhile, creates a charity calendar, featuring shots of the local men in the nude along with doctored photos presenting a nude Tyler and Boycie.
The Animal Freedom protesters arrive in the village - two lads who stick flyers all over the butcher's van,throw paint-bombs at Llewellyn and target the pub. Boycie organizes his staff into a vigilante group to protect his interests but for Tyler, needing money for his band Puddle of Agony and told by his father to stand on his own two feet financially, the situation provides a window of opportunity.
Tyler is extremely depressed,off his food and coming out with some extremely gloomy art-work. Mrs. Cakeworthy finds out why - he has had a letter from Beth finishing with him. Man-to-man talks from Jed and Bryan fail to help him out of his situation so Marlene's mother arrives to bond with him, get drunk and restore the boy to his usual cheery - if less than cerebral - self.
Shifty car salesman Boycie and his wife Marlene leave their council estate in Peckham, London to start a new life in a rambling farmhouse in Shropshire.
