Green Belt

Sebastian's skullduggery and Willow's imbroglio are finally unwound in this climactic episode. Oliver prepares to take the plunge without checking what lurks under the water, and Frank returns to village life contented and ready for more hilarious mishaps. Many thanks for listening.

The staggering truth is revealed to a bewildered Frank by the mysterious stranger in the monastery garden, while Toby is more than a little disenchanted by Oliver's sudden reticence. On the other side of the village, Willow gets an unexpected visit from a brooding, well-dressed gentleman that might not be the fantasy she originally envisions!

A series of altercations, blunt weapons and revelations make this an episode not to miss. Frank, Mike and Penny seem crushed by the weight of their respective burdens as events spiral out of their control, while Sebastian literally and figuratively has his head in the clouds, as his agenda seems set for triumph ahead of schedule.

An entirely unexpected inheritance only adds to Frank's confused guilt, news of Mike's infidelity spreads across Puddleduck like wildfire, and Toby reveals a hint of his traumatic past to acolyte Oliver.

Willow becomes an unlikely agony aunt for her new apprentice Penny, and Sebastian revels in spreading slurs against his enemy. Meanwhile Tim and Frank debate putting the 'fun' into funeral for Ted.

Penny finds an ally where she least expects it in her darkest hour, and between a faulty satnav and gobby son, is Mike going to crack under the burden of his secret shame?

Oliver gets further ensconced in Toby's petty civil disobedience antics, while Mike attempts to tease some information from Willow, who is not adverse to a spot of inappropriate coercion herself...

An episode book-ended by metaphorical bombshells resulting from a literal bombshell. Unmissable tension abounds, as a revealing phone call obliges Mike to make a statement to the townsfolk, while Penny gets the cold shoulder from a distant Oliver.

A night of revelry and revelations for Tim is followed by an awkward moment for Oliver, as Penny lays down the law at a party. Meanwhile, Audrey and Helen decide to take up a new hobby together.

Roger and Tim's fishing trip gets off to a comical start, Willow consoles a distraught Frank, and Oliver bonds with a revolutionary friend.
