Further details

All is not well at Winterdown Farm. Marlene is thoroughly fed up with her husband's lack of attention. She feels unloved, under-valued and lonely. Worrying that their relationship is nearing its end, she seeks the help of a local marriage guidance counsellor, Chantelle, who is also a part time hairdresser. When Boycie finds out she's been discussing their problems with a stranger he is appalled, but this just ignites Marlene's fury and she throws him out.

With the pub being redecorated following a fire, a farmers' convention taking all the space in the local hotel and his car currently parked in a pond, Boycie finds himself homeless. Strangely, his staff don't seem over keen to accommodate him, except Bryan, who generously offers Boycie a place to sleep in his caravan. Not in the bedroom, obviously, as that is occupied by a sick sheep, but he has sleeping bags for them to bunk down on the floor. Meanwhile, Marlene seeks solace in a bottle of wine and a girlie chat with Mrs Cakeworthy.
