About this episode

Martyn is giddy at the showroom ready for his new car and sings George’s praises to Conrad. Conrad offers George a lift home – he says no but shares he’s off to The Bull later. Conrad says he’s trying to avoid that pub after his unsuccessful flirting.

Lynda tells Robert that she’s had to pull out of judging at the Flower and Produce, but that Lily had been very understanding. Neither of them is looking forward to taking Monty his treats and belongings at the police station.

Lynda bumps into David outside the village shop and informs him they’ll be paying the invoice for the attack soon and she’s taking Monty his things. When Martyn arrives, Lynda uses it as an excuse to leave. Martyn notes she looked pale and David tell him about Monty’s goodbye. When Martyn offers advice about being disliked and feeling responsible, David snaps at him saying they’ve nothing in common. Later in The Bull, David updates George that he’s been asked to replace Lynda as judge. When Martyn joins them, the atmosphere is initially cool but he and David call a truce. It’s a blow to David to hear that Martyn will be judging the show too, offending David by adding that it’s to ‘add gravitas’.
