Alistair takes Jim to collect his new car. Jim thinks Alistair should be pleased. This is the last time he'll need a lift. Only until his new old car breaks down, says Alistair, who thinks it will be useless around the lanes of Borsetshire. Tony thinks Jim's car is a cracker but is concerned about its restoration. A car like that needs constant maintenance and he doesn't think Jim knows much about it. Joe finds Wayne wheezing badly in the bar at the Bull. Wayne insists he's feeling better and doesn't want to cause trouble for Sid and Jolene, so if Fallon tells him where his boots are, he'll be off. Fallon takes him back upstairs, insisting he stays there till he's better. He's proud she's a musician and believes it's in the blood. Ed seeks Tony's advice on how to approach Borchester Land. Tony's advice is not to touch them with a bargepole. Ed feels deflated but Joe insists if anyone's got a right to the land round here, a Grundy has.
