Neil and Shula enjoy the Ringing Roadshow. It's taking Neil's mind off his troubles: not only the pigs, but Susan fretting over the IOUs flying around. Her mum thinks some are forged. Shula sympathises - she's had Eddie on the phone trying to swap one of Joe's back. Nigel has some good recruits for the dry stone walling course, including Oliver. Jennifer updates Nigel on the dig findings, and the possible story of the skeleton they found. Nigel says it's real food for thought; he'd like to take a look at the village hall exhibition. At the Bestival music festival, Chris lends Alice his jacket. She's grateful, but keen for him not to get the wrong impression about the two of them. After an evening of fun with her friends, disaster strikes when Alice finds her tent's been stolen. She's still got her phone, however, and rings Chris who comes to her rescue with the offer of his tent for the night. He settles down gallantly to sleep outside. But Alice can't bear the thought of him being cold, and eventually invites him back in. They end up having a great laugh together; Alice is really pleased he answered his phone. Episode written by Keri Davies.
