Episode 1

In the first episode, it's the height of summer and Reuben and the team are building a brand-new sheep pen for a local farmer. Reuben's younger brothers Miles and Sidney sweat it out on an arduous sheep shearing course. Girlfriend Jess's farm, she and her dad David are also trying to shear their 300-strong flock for summertime. Reuben and Jess throw Clive a 70th birthday party to remember, so armed with a truck-load of balloons they head to their local, the highest pub in England, where friends and family have gathered to celebrate.

Episode 2

Reuben and the gang are juggling work, adventures and a fair bit of unexpected drama. At an idyllic country house that was once an historic Cumbrian pub, Reuben, Sonny and Jess are installing underground pipework - a job that should be straightforward, in theory. Clive, and brothers Miles and Sid set sail across the Irish sea on a rare father-and-sons' adventure. They're bound for Donegal, where Clive has been invited to be the VIP judge at the legendary Clonmany Agricultural Show. The boys are thrown straight into the hands-on art of sheep prep, where Sid discovers getting a prize ewe perfectly show-ring ready sometimes comes with a few splatters. Miles, meanwhile, lives out a young farmer's dream as he leads his younger brother on an epic vintage tractor run down to the spectacular Donegal coast. The boys rejoin dad Clive with ringside seats at one of the show's biggest highlights - the All Nations Shearing Championships.

Episode 3

In the Cumbrian countryside, Reuben is grafting to finish an epic wildlife pond, shaping and smoothing the bank to get it ready for its feathered residents. While Reuben's digging goes without a hitch, Capper wedges himself so firmly in the muck that Sonny has to stage a muddy rescue. Up on the fells, Reuben and Jess turn their attention to a headcount of the heifers - or at least, try to.

Episode 4

Reuben and the gang battle a stubborn rock seam at the quarry, turning to restored vintage drills and risky expanding grout to crack it. In the fields, breeding season begins as rams are released among 300 ewes. The team also faces felling a dangerous tree using classic tractor power. As Bonfire Night looms, there's wood to gather, a Guy to make and toffee apples to prep.
