When Bryan and Elgin suffer a housing crisis Boycie and Marlene offer them sanctuary, but Boycie's benevolence towards his workers brings an unexpected reward of immortality.

Marlene is worried about Tyler being in a deep depression, and on what appears to be a starvation diet. He is withdrawn, and spends every hour painting gloomy pictures. Things become so bad that she calls for the help of her mother, Dora...

Bored with life on the farm, Marlene throws herself into charity work. As a by-product of her efforts, Boycie senses an opportunity to become Sir Aubrey. Marlene, with the help of their staff, tries to use her charity contacts to help her husband achieve his dream. Unfortunately, life is very rarely that simple, particularly where Boycie and Marlene are concerned.

The Antiques Roadshow comes to Ludlow, and Marlene, already in the middle of a house makeover, sees an opportunity to have her old bric-a-brac valued by experts. She is not alone, as Elgin, Bryan, Jed and Mrs Cakeworthy have exactly the same idea.

When Marlene drags Boycie and Tyler to visit her mother Dora, the battle lines are drawn. Back at the farm, Bryan tries his hand at poetry to stop him feeling lonely whilst Mrs Cakeworthy surfs the net to help him find a solution.

Marlene is distraught when Earl the dog and Tyler both go missing. Boycie, Bryan and Jed form a search party, but entering the haunted woods with night drawing in soon confounds the rescuers.

While searching through some ancient scrolls and paperwork left behind by the old squire, Boycie discovers a medieval recipe for a traditional local liquor. With the help of his staff, he goes into full-scale production, attracting customers from far and wide, including two whom he had hoped he had seen the last of.

To celebrate their forthcoming 40th wedding anniversary, Marlene has arranged for her and Boycie to renew their marriage vows. But, whilst checking up on old friends and acquaintances for the guest list, she hears some devastating news - news that puts an entirely different complexion on the Boyces' relationship.

Bryan gets more than he bargained for when he meets his new love and the staff's loyalties are severely tested. Llewellyn seizes the opportunity of securing extra labour for his harvest.

Boycie is asked to turn detective when an unexpected visitor arrives at Winterdown Farm with a secret from the past that, if confirmed, will have massive consequences for one member of the staff.

Marlene has become fed up with her husband's inattention, and fears that their relationship is nearing its end. She seeks the help of a local marriage guidance counsellor, which proves so successful that she ends up throwing Boycie out, but the parting gives them both time to consider their lives.

Boycie and Marlene drive Tyler back to his old university where his band, Puddle of Agony, is about to perform its very first gig.

The pair are flushed with pride as they dream of their son's golden future, but when Tyler's exam results let him down, it is the staff who provide the key to his career and get him motivated.

Boycie uncovers shocking information about his family tree and, with Tyler unexpectedly returning home from university, he is convinced something serious is afoot.
