1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,975
LAUGHTER
Away!
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,375
RALF LITTLE: Reuben Owen grew up
with his eight siblings
3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,495
on their remote hill farm
deep in the Yorkshire Dales.
4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,295
just like his friends,
Sarah and Tommy,
5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,135
he spent his entire childhood
playing and learning on the land.
6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,175
Now that great land is at the heart
7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,495
of Reuben's new business venture
with Tommy and Sarah.
8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,055
Me business is going well,
thanks to you guys,
9
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,415
but, er, I could still use your help
to keep it going.
10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,695
Well, you know we're here
by your side, no matter what.
11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,135
We all like doing the same things,
and we have good craic doing it.
12
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,055
We're following their journey
13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,255
as they work on the land
they grew up on...
14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,415
Oh, dear! It's all dropping
out the back of the dumper.
15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,175
Argh, such a big bit!
16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,095
...reaping the benefits
of their outdoor upbringing...
17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,095
I've only had this on a week.
Came out the womb in a hi-vis.
18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,855
...sharing their milestones
as they come of age...
19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,615
This is the first time
we're going overseas.
20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,615
...as they continue to choose
a traditional way of life
21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,135
in the remote hills together.
22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,895
Fixing it in the old ways is what
kinda keeps Swaledale, Swaledale.
23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,175
It's a lovely part of the world
to live in.
24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,415
It's my second year in business,
25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,895
and I'm getting more confident
with every job.
26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,095
Like me,
Tommy's grown up with machinery,
27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,375
and I can rely on him
to get the job clone.
28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,015
Sarah's learning fast,
and she's taking on more every clay.
29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,455
Between us,
there's not much we can't handle.
30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,255
This week, the team
is having an autumn clear out.
31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,775
It's putting up a fight,
it don't wanna go.
32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,735
Their biggest job of the season
disturbs a beloved garden.
33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,575
Are you all right
if we cut the bushes out?
34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,935
Oh, no!
35
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,495
Tommy fulfils a childhood dream.
36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,175
Two hands on the steering wheel!
When you're a kid,
37
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,815
you don't think you'll get there,
but... very exciting.
38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,535
Reuben's brothers Sid and Miles
join the team at an auction mart.
39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,615
I'd chip in a little bit.
40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,815
I'll put a bit in it.
We could all race round in it.
41
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,335
I've just picked up the cake.
42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,695
Sarah's on a secret mission
for Tommy's 18th birthday.
43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,495
How's it look?
Good.
44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,095
It's got a cute little, like,
personalised number plate on it. Aw.
45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,655
And the friends celebrate
his rite of passage together.
46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,655
Hip-hip...
MEN: Hooray!
47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,335
Oh, it's a Ford, as well!
Happy birthday, lad.
48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,615
Aye, cheers.
49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,495
Reuben's base of operation
is in the village of Muker,
50
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,935
and from there,
the company covers a 75-mile radius.
51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,375
It's the middle of October.
52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,375
Reuben, Tommy and Sarah
have returned
53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,735
from their holiday road trip
through France,
54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,215
and as there's
a busy autumn schedule ahead,
55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,135
the team has a dose
of the holiday blues.
56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,055
It's definitely not as warm here,
is it?
57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,575
No, it's a bit cold today.
Oh, well, we gotta get back to work.
58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,215
Got a fair bit to do,
and there's also
59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,215
a little after-holiday surprise
down at the yard
60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,055
to make it feel
a little more homely.
61
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,975
Is it a TV?
No, it's not a TV.
62
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,375
This month, Reuben has plans
63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,015
to mend and sell broken gear
he's collected.
64
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,255
But before the big clear out
can begin,
65
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,975
a new delivery has arrived
at the yard in Muker.
66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,055
There is it. Look at that!
67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,495
Oh, God.
Oh, my goodness.
68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,095
They were throwing them out.
69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,495
Yeah.
That's what you should have clone.
70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,455
Reuben hopes the sofas will give
the yard a more personal feel.
71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,655
They are beautiful.
TOMMY LAUGHS
72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,135
They're even better than they looked
in the picture.
73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,935
Can't wait for bonfire night.
74
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,495
There's nowt wrong with them,
is there?
75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,575
I mean... they'll do the job.
76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,295
Reuben's already feeling precious
about his salvaged soft furnishings.
77
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,775
Hey, you got it mucky, Sarah.
78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,935
I think it was mucky
when you bought it.
79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,695
I didn't pay for it, actually.
80
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,375
Pretty happy with this chair.
81
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,695
I mean, don't look the greatest,
but it's very comfy.
82
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,095
Moving up in the world (!)
83
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,055
It's not just the yard moving up
in the world.
84
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,815
Tommy's 18th birthday
is around the corner,
85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,935
and he has big plans
when he comes of age.
86
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,815
As soon as I am 18,
87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,615
or as soon as I can, gonna try
and get my HGV licence clone.
88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,815
Is it big job
to get your HGV licence?
89
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,255
Yeah, there's a lot more to it
than a car test, anyhow.
90
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,495
Need to go for a medical
examination, for a start. Oh.
91
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,295
Make sure I'm fit enough
and healthy enough.
92
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,735
To go on the road,
to be let loose in a lorry. Mm.
93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,415
The friends are settling
into their base
94
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,055
in the beautiful corner
of the Dales.
95
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,575
Growing up on a remote farm
in these hills,
96
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,815
Reuben learned to make do and mend
97
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,495
and knows one person's trash
is another's treasure.
98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,815
'Getting get some machinery ready
for Kendal Auction.
99
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,215
'We're gonna get rid
of our old Allie Chalmers tractor.
100
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,495
'Cos we've got an old plough
101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,695
'and there's an old cow scraper
we picked up.
102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,975
'It's been damaged, so it just wants
a bit of welding on one side.'
103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,335
We are the ultimate repair team,
aren't we, Tom? Yeah.
104
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,135
You name it, we've bodged it.
Repaired it. Repaired it.
105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,975
Repaired,
nothing but serious bodgery.
106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,455
Broken, it's worth nowt. It's scrap.
107
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,095
Repaired, you know,
some farmer will use that,
108
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,295
wants to scrape his cows out,
it's perfect.
109
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,455
Yeah, would be a lot cheaper than
a new one or owt daft like that.
110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,055
Me and Tommy, wouldn't say
we're the best welders out there,
111
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,135
but we can make summat stick.
112
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,575
Look at that!
Not bad at all.
113
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,495
Somehow,
we've clone a really good weld.
114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,015
Tidy work.
Looks nice and strong.
115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,615
Yeah, be all right with that.
116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,895
This autumn, Reuben's taking on
an intricate plumbing project,
117
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,575
which will be a first
for his new business.
118
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,375
Bit of a different job today.
119
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,655
Putting a new
sewage treatment plant in.
120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,975
Lovely.
121
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,415
I know it's not, er,
the most glamorous job,
122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,095
but you know what they say,
123
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,415
"Where there's muck, there's money"
and all that.
124
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,815
Reuben's jobs are often spread
miles apart throughout the Dales,
125
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,735
but today's work
is far closer to home,
126
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,575
as he's been contracted
by his neighbours.
127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,295
John and Rachel, I've known
all the time I've been alive.
128
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,095
I used to always get, like,
packets of nails and screws
129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,055
and tools for Christmas off them.
130
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,575
They're a lovely bunch.
131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,575
It's nice of them to choose us
to do this job.
132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,335
The traditional stone cottage
needs an updated sewage system,
133
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,255
so Reuben's ordered
a state-of-the-art septic tank
134
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,495
for his family friends.
135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,495
I was reading the brochure
when I ordered the tank
136
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,335
and it said that apparently,
if you wanted,
137
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,655
you could drink the water that comes
out the back of one of these tanks.
138
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,935
I think we should let Tommy
have a bit of a sample when it's in.
139
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,055
RACHEL: Think we should.
No chance I'm drinking sewage water.
140
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,055
Not fancy it?
Well, do you?
141
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,175
No.
TOMMY AND RACHEL LAUGH
142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,735
This is the old tank.
143
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,535
They're out of date now,
these things.
144
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,375
They run off into the river,
and they're quite polluting.
145
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,575
So we'll put a new
modern treatment plant in here.
146
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,175
So, what we're gonna do today
is just
147
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,495
get our head round the system
that's in here now.
148
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,295
What, like, uncover all the pipes,
then?
149
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,455
Yeah. Wanna start by taking
that patio up, to start with.
150
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,695
This is the first time the young
team has worked on a friend's home,
151
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,455
and Reuben's keen
they take extra care.
152
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,895
Don't break it,
that's a special one, that's round.
153
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,495
Oh, my God! Don't drop it.
154
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,335
Do you think you'd know
how to put it back down?
155
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,215
No, it's gonna be like the worst
jigsaw puzzle we've ever done.
156
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,975
Reuben's used to using his diggers
for excavation,
157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,135
but investigating
the ancient pipework
158
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,775
needs a more delicate approach.
159
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,095
The worst thing could happen is
160
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,295
we could upset the sewerage system
now, early on,
161
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,095
which is why we're gonna start
digging with a shovel to start with.
162
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,655
There it is. Great, that's good.
163
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,095
That's the sewage pipe, see,
if we'd gone in with a digger,
164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,095
you damage a pipe like that,
they can't use the house.
165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,735
I've known Reuben
since he was just a babe in arms
166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,175
and held him when he was just
a scrap when he was born,
167
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,415
and we're glad to be able
to give him the job to do this work.
168
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,935
There's your water pipe, john.
Is it?
169
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,975
You won't cut the pipe,
Reuben, will you?
170
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,975
No. You'll know if I do, though.
I'll be soaked.
171
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,775
Reuben's discovering that replumbing
172
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,415
Rachel and john's
outdated sewerage system
173
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,775
will be an invasive operation.
174
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,135
The pipework comes
across the garden there,
175
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,935
are you all right
if we cut the bushes out?
176
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,295
Certainly not. Oh, no!
Certainly not?
177
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,735
Think you can get them
out without damaging them?
178
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,815
Oh, I hope so.
We want them to live and go back in.
179
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,015
15 or 20 years they've been in.
180
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,415
Aren't the roots supposed to be
as big as the actual plant itself?
181
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,135
Yeah.
Right.
182
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,615
That ain't gonna come out very easy.
The pipe's been found.
183
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,415
just getting our head
round the system
184
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,735
that's in there now,
ready for when we replace it,
185
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,375
so we're making a good start.
186
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,415
Replacing the septic tank
is proving trickier than expected,
187
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,335
and preserving the mature box hedges
in the couple's prized garden
188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,055
will be the friends' next challenge.
189
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,175
It's late October, and in Swaledale,
back on the septic tank job,
190
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,095
Reuben, Tommy and Sarah
are attempting to excavate
191
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,095
Rachel and john's
precious box hedges.
192
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,295
Bit worried, really.
It might end up a disaster, this.
193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,375
There you go! Give it a pull, Sarah.
194
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,535
You think this is a good idea,
Reuben?
195
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,415
I think so.
196
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,095
If this doesn't work,
we'll have to knock the house down,
197
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,295
bring a bigger digger in.
198
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,455
RACHEL LAUGHS
I don't like the sound of that.
199
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,135
In lieu of a landscape gardener,
200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,335
Reuben's having
to adapt his heavy-duty toolkit...
201
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,295
Oh, it's out.
Phew.
202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,535
No damage clone.
203
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,415
...and has invented
an unconventional repotting method.
204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,855
just like that.
just like that, Reuben.
205
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,535
A great relief to see it come out
in one piece.
206
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:09,535
The next test will be that it lives.
207
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,895
Right Ru,
do you wanna take this one out?
208
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,935
The second bush
is more firmly rooted,
209
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,935
so will test Reuben's
mechanical method to the max.
210
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,015
Think this one will go as well?
I hope so.
211
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,175
Whoa, whoa.
212
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,215
I don't think we're gonna
lift it up high enough.
213
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,135
RACHEL: That one's not wanting
to budge, is it?
214
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,295
SARAH: It's just cos
there's so many branches.
215
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,055
This isn't shifting, they said.
Is it not going as well?
216
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,175
It's coming.
All right.
217
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,855
Ooh. Ooh.
218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,455
More crunching this time.
An awful lot of crunching.
219
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,335
Ooh.
220
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,335
That is...
Well clone.
221
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,815
..100% success rate.
Yes.
222
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,255
Rachel's relieved
to see her shrubbery intact,
223
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,975
and green-fingered Reuben's
figured out a way
224
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,175
to preserve the plants
while work continues.
225
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,855
The wetness of the soil
should keep the plants alive
226
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,735
for long enough
that they can go back in,
227
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,615
and like we've never been there.
228
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,855
That was a really good idea.
229
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,335
You know, not much
has broken off them, really.
230
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,015
Have to say, for Swaledale,
you have a very nice garden.
231
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,735
LAUGHING: Thank you.
Ancl now it's destroyed.
232
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,775
I don't think destroyed, it's more
disassembled at the minute.
233
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,095
It'll all go back in
and look good again.
234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,735
Good.
That was a success.
235
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,975
Thank you. See you another clay.
See you later. See ya.
236
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,415
They've started the groundwork,
237
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,255
but as the new pipes
have yet to arrive,
238
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,415
the team will return
in a few days' time.
239
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,455
The autumn season is marching on,
and this morning,
240
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,135
Tommy's driving to Carlisle
to undergo a health check,
241
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,535
compulsory
for every aspiring trucker.
242
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,135
This is the start
of quite a long journey
243
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,495
towards becoming a truck driver.
244
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,215
It is the dream.
245
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,055
just dreamt of it as a kid,
and when you're a kid,
246
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,655
you don't think you'll ever
get there, but today is the clay
247
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,175
where it's the start of the journey
towards getting my licence.
248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,175
It's very exciting.
249
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,735
So, try to read the lowest line
that you can read.
250
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,535
T, X, O, F, U, H.
251
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,655
Before Tommy can start
his HGV lessons,
252
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,175
he must pass today's medical.
253
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,655
I'm a bit nervous.
254
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,895
I've heard stories of folk
who've turned up,
255
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,975
and they've found, like,
unknown heart conditions.
256
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,135
It's a massive childhood dream
of mine.
257
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,335
Every member of me family's clone it.
258
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,855
Worst case scenario, they find
summat, and I can't drive a truck.
259
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,135
Yeah. That would be a disaster,
but hopefully not.
260
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,495
You have a perfect bill of health.
Your medical is OK to go through.
261
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,415
Oh, that's all right, then.
Yep.
262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,815
Panic over. Least I know
I'm medically fit to drive, then.
263
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,255
Yeah.
One step closer to the goal now.
264
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,215
Yeah, and wish you all the best.
Yeah, no, thank you.
265
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,135
I'm over the moon, really.
266
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,855
That's the first step to
becoming a truck driver. So, yeah.
267
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,375
Couldn't have gone any better,
really.
268
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,535
Ancl when I'm 18, then I can
269
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,655
hopefully go out with my Uncle Neil
and do some learning.
270
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,175
Tommy makes his way back
to the yard,
271
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,255
where Reuben and Sarah are waiting
to find out if he's passed.
272
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,655
So, how did your medical go, Tommy?
273
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,095
Yeah, no, it went really well.
274
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,535
I passed it,
so that's the main thing.
275
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,695
What's the next step, then, do you
have to go for lessons or something?
276
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,655
Yeah, well,
I've sent off for my provisional,
277
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,455
and then once my provisional
gets back,
278
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,175
I can book my theory test.
279
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,095
So I can book that for, well,
sharpish after me birthday.
280
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,535
The auction is a few days away,
281
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,255
and as Reuben's collected
a treasure trove
282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,775
of vintage tractors over the years,
283
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,775
he's decided to part ways
with one of his classics.
284
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,535
I do really like this tractor,
285
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,735
and I'm quite sad
I'm getting rid of it
286
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,175
cos I like it,
but there's £1,000 to just spend
287
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,695
in this engine to make it right,
I would have thought.
288
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,975
As a business, it would be daft
to spend a fortune on this.
289
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,095
Reuben's finally deciding to part
with one of his little tractors,
290
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,695
and he's convinced it's
to free up space, but I know Reuben,
291
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,695
and I know that it's just
so he has more space
292
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,375
to buy another vintage tractor.
293
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,095
No, it's good to clear some space
out in the shed.
294
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,415
Definitely.
More tractors can go in there now.
295
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,415
Newer tractors.
Nicer tractors.
296
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,655
Definitely worse things
to be interested in.
297
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,895
Makes him happy, so... it's nice.
298
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:03,055
They're determined to make
as much cash as they can.
299
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,535
Someone'll hopefully buy it
for vintage ploughing
300
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,255
and put it
on the back of a vintage tractor.
301
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,815
Or use it as decoration
outside their house.
302
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,015
While Sarah's up cycling
the vintage plough,
303
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,535
Reuben and Tommy want to get
the engine running,
304
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,775
as it'll raise the tractor's value
at auction.
305
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,855
Ready?
306
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,535
ENGINE STUTTERS
307
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,295
That's not sounding very good.
Not good at all.
308
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,135
So, the starter motor's
not having it.
309
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,375
Only one thing for it.
310
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,495
Bumpy.
311
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,655
Over time, Reuben's learned
312
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,015
that his fleet of vintage tractors
can be tiringly temperamental
313
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,655
but are almost worthless
without the engine working.
314
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,215
Don't go too fast,
remember I've got no brakes.
315
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,455
Flat out?
LAUGHING: No, S|.0W!
316
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,855
Buying and flipping vintage tractors
from a young age,
317
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,455
Reuben has always enjoyed
the challenge
318
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,295
of bringing them back to life.
319
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,415
ENGINE WHIRS
320
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,215
It started!
There she goes. We're alive.
321
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,975
Did all right, that.
322
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,175
Little rough, but we'll put it
into an auction as...
323
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,215
Runs. In need of restoration.
324
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,735
Type of thing
that someone would buy that's...
325
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,295
you know, grandad had one.
326
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,975
They'll take it into their garage
and do it up.
327
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,815
In the barn, Sarah's nearing
the end of her restoration...
328
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,975
Oh, well done, Sarah,
you're getting there.
329
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,495
Yeah. Slowly. Can't rush perfection.
330
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,855
...but wind-up merchant Reuben
can't resist sticking his oar in.
331
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,135
I think it just needs
a few finishing touches.
332
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,575
No, put that down,
no, put that down.
333
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,455
Right, give me that,
and give me that,
334
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,775
and you go outside and let me do it
before you ruin everything.
335
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,775
Banished to the yard,
336
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,455
Reuben and Tommy get back to work
readying the load for auction day...
337
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,375
The steering's so heavy!
Go on. Go on.
338
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,015
...but the vintage tractor
seems reluctant to leave.
339
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,535
GROANS
Kick the steering round.
340
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,455
It's putting up a fight,
it don't wanna go.
341
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,575
Right, watch your front wheels.
342
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,375
That's it. Yeah, that'll do.
343
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,215
Right, I think
that is pretty much finished.
344
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,495
Think there's only a few runs on it.
It looks the part.
345
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,815
Hopefully, it'll do well
in auction now.
346
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,775
It's time to store their stock,
347
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,375
but Sarah's lovingly painted plough
is sitting in Reuben's parking spot.
348
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,975
Whoa! Whoa, whoa.
Whoa!
349
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,815
That was a little too close
to my plough for my liking.
350
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,695
Nearly hit it.
351
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,095
Ru.
Yeah?
352
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:55,775
Come here.
All right, chick?
353
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,335
I spent all clay painting
this plough,
354
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:59,055
and you almost hit it
with your trailer.
355
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,935
Nowhere near. Nowhere near.
You've clone an amazing job.
356
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,175
Well clone, you.
Look at your hands, though.
357
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,415
I know, I'm covered.
358
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,935
How you gonna get that
off your hands?
359
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,695
I don't know, it's permanent.
Forever.
360
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,135
Probably is, you know.
Yeah, but I did good job.
361
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,535
I think.
Absolutely brilliant job.
362
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,495
Well clone.
Thanks.
363
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,175
Right, let's work out how
to get that paint off your hands.
364
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,095
It's been a successful day,
and time will tell
365
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,695
if the team's hard work
will result in a profit.
366
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,335
It's late October,
367
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,415
and the friends are off to their
second mucky job of the season.
368
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,775
Ho, ho! Come on.
369
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,415
Hill shepherd Bob Blades wants a
feeding area built for his livestock
370
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,575
at a gate entrance
high on the moors.
371
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,215
Right, Reuben,
if you walk across there
372
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,495
and get as far
as that second hollow,
373
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,935
you'll level this out here
and make me a hardcore standing.
374
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,455
So, through here,
round in a big semi-circle?
375
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,535
Then it'll give me enough room to
put three feeders on, won't it? Yep.
376
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,215
Don't like the ground
all churned up. Yeah.
377
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,415
So remember that by the time
you finish, won't ya?
378
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,455
Yeah, we got tractor on here,
so it won't make a scrow.
379
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,895
Scrow is a large mess.
Yeah.
380
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,455
What's the technical term
for this stuff?
381
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,255
Slother. That's the slothery bit.
Slother. A slothery bit.
382
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,975
That's very broad Yorkshire.
It's a slothery mess.
383
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,495
If you're as bad on your legs
as me,
384
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,535
you go down,
and it is not a pretty sight.
385
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,735
REUBEN LAUGHS
We'll let you get on.
386
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,855
Right, thank you very much.
Good to see you, Bob.
387
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,655
Reuben makes quick work
of the "slother",
388
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,015
which he passes to Sarah to track
and dump in a neighbouring field.
389
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,655
But the team's promise
to not turn Bob's field
390
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,175
into a messy "scrow"
quickly comes unstuck.
391
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,015
I locked it!
I swear to God, I locked it!
392
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,255
Oh, dear. It's all dropping
out of the back of the dumper.
393
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,055
Argh, for God's sake!
394
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:09,615
Argh, such a big bit. Man.
395
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,015
Dropping giant-sized mole hills
out the back of the dumper.
396
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,535
Oh, you...
397
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,415
Well, at least she'll know where to
go next time. just follow the trail.
398
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,375
If there's anything left in the
dumper by the time she gets there.
399
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,975
Which there might not be.
400
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,895
Please, please, please.
401
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,295
Stay in.
402
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,255
Right, that is locked. I swear.
403
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,575
ls the back door shut this time?
Yeah, I've double checked.
404
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,655
Arghg
405
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,335
After a couple of hours,
the slother has been shifted,
406
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:55,815
ready for the hardcore
to be level led out into a dry area
407
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,975
for Bob's flock to feed from
in the harsh winter months.
408
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,695
Never been so happy
to see a stone delivery.
409
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,415
The very first time
Reuben drove a digger,
410
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,055
he moved stone around
on his family's farm...
411
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,535
He's got his big toy on the job.
412
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,335
He could have done it
with a much smaller digger, but...
413
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:16,655
Maybe a touch overkill.
414
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,215
...and his best mates can see
415
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,295
he's just as content on the job now
as when he was a kid.
416
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,215
Look at him, he's so happy.
417
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,255
The concentration face is hilarious.
418
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,375
Look, see, so now when Bob comes,
he unties his gate,
419
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,015
swings his gate round,
420
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,655
and he's got lovely,
nice hard standing to drive on.
421
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,175
He'll like it.
His sheep will like it.
422
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,535
Everyone's happy-
423
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,175
We're happy cos Bob's happy.
Bob's happy cos the sheep are happy.
424
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,375
The sheep are happy
cos they're not gonna get wet feet
425
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,055
when they have to eat the bales.
Yay!
426
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,375
So we have brought happiness.
427
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,055
Look at them,
they're coming for a look.
428
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,935
Oh, they're loving it.
SHEEP BAA
429
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,335
Ho, ho! Ho, hope! Come on.
430
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:05,895
Bob returns, eager to inspect their
handiwork and his new hard standing.
431
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,655
The cow's gonna be the first one on.
432
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,495
Oh, that sheep's gonna come on, Bob.
That all right, Bob?
433
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,495
Yeah, they're not bothered
about coming onto it.
434
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,975
Spot on. I thought we were gonna
have to clig it out a minute ago.
435
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,375
No. Not yet, but I'll certainly
let you know if it doesn't work.
436
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,055
Thank you very much, Bob.
OK.
437
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,895
Hopefully, it'll be a lot better
for feeding,
438
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,655
easier for tractor in and out
without ploughing the ground up
439
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,975
and it'll be better standing
for the sheep.
440
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,975
I think it'll work all right.
441
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,735
It's early November,
and though Reuben is his own boss,
442
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,975
he still loves hanging out
with his younger brothers.
443
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,055
So, as it's half term,
he's invited 11-year-old Sid
444
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,455
and 17-year-old Miles
to the farmers' auction.
445
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,455
ls there owt particular
you wanted to see today?
446
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,175
Tractors.
Tractors.
447
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,175
I might go and have a look
at some of the livestock,
448
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,335
if there is any.
449
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,215
Morning!
ALL: Morning.
450
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,735
They're hoping to sell
Reuben's classic tractor,
451
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,455
scraper and Sarah's painted plough,
452
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,935
but first, they need
to get it there in one piece.
453
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,415
Right. Up a bit.
454
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,815
Look at that. Without a mark!
455
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,815
I'm kind of sad to see it go.
I put a lot of effort into this.
456
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,175
Don't want to leave that
down the M6, do we?
457
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,175
Knock a bit of paint off it.
No, please don't.
458
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,095
That took a lot of effort.
459
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,495
Sid has been fascinated with
vintage kit since he was a toddler,
460
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,335
when he used to help Reuben
mend machines at home
461
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:52,175
on their 2,000-acre hill farm
462
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,575
and is looking forward to seeing
what the auction has to offer.
463
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,615
So, it's not a bad way to fill
your half term break in, Sid.
464
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,295
Yeah, it's good.
It's better than school.
465
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,095
What you gonna do
when you finish school?
466
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,775
I'll probably help Dad on the farm.
Ancl I might do a bit for you.
467
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,215
Yeah, you came with us
the other day,
468
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,775
didn't ya, Sid, in the tractor?
469
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,335
Yeah, it was good.
That was good craic.
470
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:14,815
Do you enjoy coming with us?
Yeah.
471
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,295
It was good, apart from the seat.
Apart from the seat.
472
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,575
Yeah, the passenger seat
in the tractor isn't great,
473
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,175
but four, five years, and you'll
soon get your tractor licence. Yeah.
474
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,775
We'll get you trained up, Sid.
475
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,295
Here we are!
476
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,735
All right, we're finally here!
477
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,815
Reuben and the gang are excited
to arrive at the auction site,
478
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,015
where they're surrounded
by farm machinery
479
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,295
of all shapes and sizes,
ready to catch someone's eye.
480
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,735
Go on, then, unstrap it.
481
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,935
As they're preparing
to unload their three lots,
482
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,135
they spot Sarah's plough's
competition!
483
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,655
Aye, that hasn't had
a Sarah paint job.
484
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,855
No, it hasn't.
Ah, that's got nothing on mine.
485
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,055
It's probably got more paint on it
than yours, Sarah.
486
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,655
I don't know.
Well, I'm not sure.
487
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,615
There's quite a lot of paint
on mine.
488
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,055
Off.
So, this is going in.
489
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,215
Hopefully, seven or 800 quid
for it.
490
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,615
Ancl the rest of the bits and bobs
make a few hundred quid.
491
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,575
Their items will be sold
at an online auction
492
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,375
in a few days' time,
so they're seeing
493
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,135
if there are any lots
they'd like to buy
494
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,375
before the bidding starts.
495
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,895
Ah, look at you two cuties.
496
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,895
Do a little wheelie.
That back brake works.
497
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,775
Look at the floor mat in this one!
That is high quality.
498
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,215
Oh, that stinks!
499
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,335
The prospective buyers have
their eyes peeled for a bargain.
500
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,295
What do you think, Sid?
Looks cool.
501
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,135
Wow, he's impressed.
502
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,015
I quite like the look
of that yellow go-kart.
503
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,375
I could see, well, me and Reuben
having a little tinker with it,
504
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,735
seeing if we can get it going.
505
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,495
The brothers have always enjoyed
506
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,375
fixing motorbikes and go-karts
together,
507
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,895
since Sid was old enough
to join Reuben in the workshop.
508
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,135
And the buggy could be
the perfect project
509
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,175
for the whole team
to work on together.
510
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,015
Go on, turn the steering.
Does it work?
511
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,655
No, steering's solid.
I can't get it into any gear.
512
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,655
Seems a bit...
Nah, it needs a bit of TLC, but...
513
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,375
Go on, Sid. How much do you want me
to bid it to?
514
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,175
450, maybe.
515
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,575
I'll bid it to 450, Sid.
We'll see what happens.
516
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,415
I'd chip in a little bit.
Be a good craic, that.
517
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,615
I'll put a bid in it,
we could all race round in it.
518
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,615
Sid's seen that little buggy,
519
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,215
so I've got its lot number
written down,
520
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,415
and we'll see what it makes.
521
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,095
If I'm feeling kind,
I might put a few quid towards it.
522
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,815
Today, livestock will be sold
in the auction ring,
523
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,095
so shepherd's sons Miles and Sid
flock over to take a closer look.
524
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,375
My brother's hoping to make profit
out of plant machinery,
525
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,775
and, well, when I grow up,
I hope to make profit
526
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,535
out of animals and farming.
527
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,855
SHEEP BLEAT
528
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,215
I quite like cows and sheep
529
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,055
cos they're
part of our family heritage.
530
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,615
This is the sort of stuff
I would like doing one clay.
531
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,095
Sid and Miles have attended
sheep sales with their parents
532
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,455
since they were small and
appreciate their family pedigree.
533
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,935
Finally, some Swales,
some proper sheep are coming in.
534
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,095
So, Sid, you enjoy
the auction mart? Yeah, I do.
535
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,815
I hope to be here more often
536
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,655
when I become a farmer
and leave school.
537
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,055
Nice.
So you do want to become a farmer?
538
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,655
Yeah, I do. What about you?
Yeah, same.
539
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,055
AUCTION CHATTER
540
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,575
I can't talk fast enough
to be an auctioneer. Me neither.
541
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,815
With Miles and Sid looking forward
to their future as farmers,
542
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,935
Tommy is continuing to dream
about life as a trucker.
543
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,415
That there is the dream.
544
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,095
That's the only thing here
that I want.
545
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:54,775
just need to get my licence passed.
546
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,415
And he's spotted
old school friend Henry,
547
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,895
who's already one step further
along the road.
548
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,015
No, it's a fair outfit.
549
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,415
It is a fair outfit,
it's a fair bit of kit.
550
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,815
No, that's what I'm hoping to do.
551
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,655
It's hard work,
but there's no better feeling
552
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,775
than getting on the road.
553
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,975
It's worth it in the end.
Now, once I've got me licence,
554
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,615
I'll have to come
for a ride out with you.
555
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,935
No, that will do. Well, I'll
show you how the big boys do it.
556
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,615
Yeah?
I'll show you how it's really clone.
557
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,815
Keen to learn.
Yeah.
558
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,415
He's 18-and-a-half,
and, yeah, I'm about to be 18,
559
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,415
so I'd like to think that
I would be able to do what he does.
560
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,935
I mean, credit it to him,
561
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,775
like, look at that
for an outfit at 18 years old.
562
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,535
No, he's clone very well.
563
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,775
Oh, no, very excited,
it'll hopefully be me soon.
564
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,255
Take care, see you later.
565
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,775
Farmers are making their way home,
566
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,455
as the livestock auction is over
and the mechanical lots are in.
567
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,295
We've got all our machines
away in into the lot
568
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,535
without damaging them.
569
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,255
The Allie-Chalmers made it.
570
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,695
The ploughs all made it
without too much scratches.
571
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,335
That will do for today.
Let's get back on the road.
572
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,895
Right. Back down that motorway.
Come on, then.
573
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,255
After a busy day,
the team heads home to the Dales
574
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,975
and now have an agonising wait
to see if their items will sell.
575
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,295
In Swaledale,
back at the septic tank job,
576
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,455
Reuben and Tommy
are adding the finishing touches
577
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,215
to the newly laid pipework.
578
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,215
What's the pea gravel for, then?
579
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,095
just kind of future-proofing it,
if the ground ever moves or...
580
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,295
Ancl drainage as well.
581
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,295
Now we got
a good little system here.
582
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,135
I shovel it in
and then watch you shovel it out.
583
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,815
I find it very satisfying.
Shovelling?
584
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,975
No, you know,
it was mud, water and awful,
585
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,695
and now it's... pristine.
586
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,815
Gravel.
Where's Sarah gone to?
587
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,775
Doctor's? Yeah.
She all right?
588
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,735
Yeah, It's to do with her...
589
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,055
Is it to do with her tonsils
or something? All right.
590
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,175
Unbeknownst to Tommy,
591
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,535
Sarah's actually
on a secret birthday mission.
592
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,015
And Reuben's enjoying
throwing him off the scent.
593
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,055
Go on, Tom! Come on!
594
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,295
Keep it coming, keep it coming,
that's it, round the corner!
595
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,455
So, I've just picked up the cake,
and this is it!
596
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,335
Me and Reuben
have decided to get him a present,
597
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,535
and we weren't sure what to get him,
so we figured
598
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,935
we'd get him a birthday cake
in the shape of his tractor.
599
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,295
Says Tom on the front.
600
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,495
Yeah, it looks pretty cool.
601
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,735
All I have to do
is get it to him in one piece.
602
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,735
Ancl... yeah. Let's hope he likes it.
603
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,375
Sarah's made it back to site,
604
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,575
and while Tommy's
taking a break,
605
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,935
Reuben's getting the low-down
on the birthday plans.
606
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,455
How's it look?
Uh... yeah.
607
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,935
You can tell it's a tractor.
608
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,975
I'm not sure you can tell
it's Tom's tractor.
609
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,935
But it's a tractor.
But it's funny, it's good.
610
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,935
Ancl it will feed a lot of people
cos it's massive.
611
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,655
What colour is it, then?
It's blue!
612
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,895
I sent... The reference photo
was Tommy's Ford.
613
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,055
And it's...
Yeah, it's inspired by it.
614
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,735
It's got a cute little, like,
personalised number plate on it.
615
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,935
Same number plate as his?
No. It says Tom on it.
616
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,615
Oh.
18.
617
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,935
Aw!
618
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,375
It's the thought that counts, Ru.
It is.
619
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,375
Unless it's Tommy, and then
he'll be massively disappointed.
620
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,095
Don't say that. I can't cope.
621
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,015
They've done as much
as they can for today,
622
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,535
so Reuben's getting Rachel and john
up to speed on their progress.
623
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,695
So we've got it piped up.
624
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,335
I rung the building regs fella,
625
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,215
and he said to pea gravel it
to the top of the pipe,
626
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,015
till he can come
and make sure everything's on point.
627
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,215
You're doing a good job.
Thank you very much.
628
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,895
Next, er...
It looks professional.
629
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,935
It looks professional?
Well, that's something.
630
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,935
Oh, that is something.
Oh, it is professional.
631
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,895
It is? Oh, yeah.
One clay, I'll be able to say that.
632
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,095
What's next on the agenda?
633
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,015
Once the man's been
and checked it all,
634
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,575
we'll back fill this
635
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,975
and start digging out
for the new tank.
636
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,295
But we don't wanna disturb
the old tank until we're ready.
637
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,415
No, you won't.
It's not very convenient.
638
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,255
And then, we'll start
putting the garden back together.
639
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,255
We're getting there slowly.
We'll soon have them bushes back in.
640
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,895
They're doing quite well.
They're doing well, aren't they?
641
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,775
With the newly laid
pipework complete,
642
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,415
it'll be a week or two before
the team can connect the new system,
643
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,655
so they call it a day
and head home before dark.
644
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,415
It's the morning
after the online auction,
645
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,815
and the friends
have come down to the yard
646
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,455
to see how their lots have fared.
647
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,295
Put all sorts of things in auctions.
648
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,575
You win some, you lose some.
649
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,615
You never know
what things are gonna make.
650
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,735
We'll have a look
and see how we did.
651
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,375
Maybe even see
if I have won that buggy for Sid.
652
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,415
With the online bids all closed,
their nerves are high,
653
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,415
and Reuben's banking
on them all to sell.
654
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,735
I've got me laptop.
655
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,575
The clogs chewed the end off
my charger, so I've only got 1 1 %.
656
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,495
Better hurry up, then.
So we'll have a look,
657
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,015
see what it made.
658
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,775
So... Right, here we are.
Here we are.
659
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,575
Allie-Chalmers.
660
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,575
Final bid...
661
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,175
£700.
662
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,615
More than you get for it.
663
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,655
That did really well.
The scraper.
664
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,935
With that fine welding job.
665
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,215
£170 for that!
666
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,535
Hell of a do.
Right, the plough.
667
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,015
Well, I'm hoping it went
for a couple hundred quid, at least.
668
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,615
I mean, I spent a lot of time
painting it.
669
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,415
Final bid... what's your guess?
670
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,135
I don't know.
I don't even want to guess.
671
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,815
Not good.
H E CH UCKLES
672
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,975
140 quid!
673
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,575
You are joking?
674
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,735
We've been robbed.
We've been robbed.
675
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,335
I'm glad I didn't paint it.
676
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,055
Oh, well.
So, that's clone all right,
677
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,215
I mean, the plough didn't do
as well as I thought,
678
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,855
but we got nearly a thousand quid.
679
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,575
Did you manage to put a bid in for
that little buggy thing? I did!
680
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,215
Look at that!
681
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:28,935
500 British pounds.
682
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,215
Hmm. That will be good fun, that.
It will be good fun.
683
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:33,015
No, success, really, at the auction.
684
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,775
I mean, we made a bit,
and we've bought a buggy,
685
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,455
and we've now got a space to put
something interesting in our shed.
686
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,855
I'm sure you'll soon fill it.
687
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,895
What are you thinking to put
in the shed?
688
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,055
I don't know, but you do realise
you don't just clear out a shed
689
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,015
to then just fill it
with more stuff?
690
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,335
I do!
SHE CH UCKLES
691
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,535
It's been a successful sale.
692
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,095
By fixing and repairing
the unwanted machines together,
693
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,935
they've kept the pounds rolling in,
694
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,295
and to celebrate their winnings,
Reuben has a treat in store.
695
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,215
We're having ab it of a clay
after digging today.
696
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,815
For your birthday, Tom.
Yeah.
697
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,295
You've got your new bike on.
Yeah.
698
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,535
No, looking forward to it.
Oh, me, too.
699
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,495
Inch Perfect Trials Bike Centre
is a place
700
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,975
experienced riders Tommy and Reuben
have wanted to visit for a while.
701
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,415
And instructor Matt Alpe
is on hand
702
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,895
to help them get to grips
with the course.
703
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,615
We'll do some nice...
nice circuits around the field.
704
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,455
We'll do some figure of eight turns,
and I think you're good to go, then.
705
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,695
OK. All right?
Yeah.
706
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,855
Sarah's new to trials biking
707
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,095
so needs a bit more practice
to keep up with Reuben and Tommy.
708
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,175
Can hear them screaming
the bikes about up there.
709
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,375
It's quite scary, actually.
710
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,295
It's not very easy at all.
711
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,095
But, erm, I think the worst part is
712
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,495
making sure, when you're
standing up, you don't lean back.
713
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,255
Cos if you lean back,
you pull the throttle,
714
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,655
and then, you're, like, over there,
and you're back here.
715
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,295
But, no, it's good fun.
I'm excited to...
716
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,855
to blast it about
and see where else we're going.
717
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,935
While Sarah's mastering
the beginners' slopes,
718
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,415
Matt leads Tommy and Reuben
to the advanced course.
719
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,135
And as they've both been
riding bikes since they were kids,
720
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,695
the off-roading enthusiasts
are in their element.
721
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,015
I really enjoyed it.
A good birthday gift.
722
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,535
It's, er, somewhere
I've always wanted to come,
723
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,255
for quite a while, so...
724
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,895
No, good to have been here
725
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,255
and... had a go
and I'll definitely come back.
726
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,775
After several hours of biking,
their day has come to an end.
727
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,415
How good was that?
728
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,215
That was brilliant. Aye, thank you
very much for bringing us here.
729
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,935
No problem. Been a good day.
It has been a good clay.
730
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:01,535
How you finding that, Sarah?
731
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,455
It's great. It has loads of power.
732
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,815
Ancl I don't think
I even slipped anywhere.
733
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,495
I'm sweating more than
I would have been
734
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,335
if we'd been digging.
I took me jacket straight off.
735
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,855
I'm well warm.
736
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,055
Oh, well, can't... Yeah, head back.
737
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,615
Feeling hot and bothered,
738
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,375
Reuben and Tommy
have the perfect way to cool off.
739
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,215
Whose bike are you washing?
740
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,455
HE CHUCKLES
741
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,015
RALF LITTLE: It's mid-November,
742
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,215
and Tommy's birthday's
finally arrived,
743
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:52,095
so he's heading to the family's
haulage yard in Kirkby Stephen.
744
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,055
Now 18, he's having a ride
out with his dad's cousin Neil,
745
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,975
who's agreed to take him
out on his very first lorry lesson.
746
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,535
Morning, Neil.
Happy birthday.
747
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,815
Thank you.
Right, driving lesson.
748
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,215
How we feeling?
Er, a little bit nervous.
749
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:13,415
A bit bigger than a tractor
and trailer. Yeah.
750
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,815
Nah, I'm looking forward to it,
as long as everything goes well.
751
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,295
Good, good.
I'll get I plates on.
752
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,495
I plates on, daily checks clone
while I have me brew.
753
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,095
Tommy comes
from a long line of truckers
754
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,735
who've driven haulage lorries
throughout the country,
755
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,535
and it's them who have inspired him
to be here today.
756
00:38:34,720 --> 00:38:39,095
This is a childhood dream.
Been 18 years of waiting.
757
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,095
I mean, it's in the family,
like, on the side here,
758
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,015
that top one's the one
that Neil learnt to drive in,
759
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,495
and then there's a picture there
of baby Neil in front of a wagon.
760
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,735
And now 'R's my tum.
761
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,655
Once he gets going down the road,
762
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,695
he'll find it's a bit bigger
than what he's used to anyhow,
763
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:56,455
so we'll see how we get on.
764
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,455
I'm nervous more than him, probably.
765
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,975
Side lights on. Knob on the door.
Big knob.
766
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,935
Don't you know
how to put headlights on?
767
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,895
Big responsibility
for a first lesson,
768
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,815
I mean, it's Neil's pride and joy.
Bit nervous, really...
769
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,135
Ready?
Yeah.
770
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,255
Let's go, then.
771
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,335
'..especially when you got Neil
in the passenger seat next to you.'
772
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,335
Keep your foot on the brake.
Turn that away.
773
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,655
Watch yous back end.
774
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,295
Part of Neil's haulage business
775
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,495
includes buying and selling
second-hand machinery.
776
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,735
So today, Tommy's driving them
40 minutes to an auction in Penrith,
777
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,535
quite a distance
for this nervous novice.
778
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,295
Right, go on.
A bit faster than that. Come on.
779
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,375
We wanna be there before dinner.
We will be there before dinner.
780
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,535
Tight, innit?
Yeah.
781
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,375
Slow down. You will be well over.
782
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,655
Go on, lock it round now.
Watch that back end on the wall.
783
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,055
Watch that wing.
784
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,615
Now just keep hold of that
steering wheel, it catches the wind,
785
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,175
especially going over sharp.
786
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,575
You can really feel the wind
against you, can't ya?
787
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:57,935
Compared to a car.
788
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:02,295
Two hands on the steering wheel.
On.
789
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,015
Right. Go on, get on.
790
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,415
Go on, or you're not gonna get
through the lights.
791
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,575
What other tips is there
I need to know?
792
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,895
Keep checking your mirrors, and keep
two hands on the steering wheel.
793
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,935
You have to do that with a car.
Yeah, which is exactly the same.
794
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,615
just a bit bigger, innit?
A bit.
795
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:22,655
Could be doing worse things
on your birthday, couldn't you?
796
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,815
Yeah.
No, I'm happy to be doing this.
797
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,215
It's what I wanted to do,
798
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:28,495
and to do it on me actual birthday's
pretty good.
799
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,895
I've clone plenty of miles
sat in the passenger seat,
800
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,735
and now we've reversed roles.
801
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,135
It's all right, sat in this side,
I can look at the scenery.
802
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,535
I'm happy with that, then.
803
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,575
Get me test passed,
and we'll make it a permanent swap.
804
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,815
I dunno about that.
805
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,255
Have you got your phone on you?
806
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,575
Yeah. Take a video of me so
I can show Granddad when I get back.
807
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,735
Finally let the best driver
have a go.
808
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,175
just watch where you're going.
809
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,415
Slow down. Slow down. Slow down.
810
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,815
Right, turn in, not too sharp,
and take the thing off.
811
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,335
Handbrake on, out of gear.
Wipers off.
812
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,815
Tommy safely made it
to the auction site,
813
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,095
and his driving hasn't dampened
man-of-few-words Neil's appetite!
814
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,175
How was that, then?
815
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:17,935
Er, all right.
816
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,655
Tommy's driving lesson is now over.
817
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,295
All that's left
is to load up Neil's goods.
818
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,935
He were a bit nervous at the start,
819
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,135
especially coming out of village
on't narrow road.
820
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,775
But once we got up main road,
he were fine.
821
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,375
As long as he keeps
checking his mirrors
822
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,535
and two hands on the wheel,
he'll be all right.
823
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,615
Yeah, he'll get there.
824
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,695
Most folk on their 18th birthday
lie in bed all clay,
825
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,455
go out for dinner,
and then go to the pub.
826
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,215
But I've been out in a wagon.
827
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:47,135
Wouldn't have any other way,
to be fair. That was great fun.
828
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,775
Get me theory test clone
and me test passed,
829
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,015
then I can go out on my own.
830
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,375
Are you gonna let us go
on a few more lessons, then?
831
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,055
I would think so, if there's summat
to do, we'll do some of them.
832
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,055
Well, I think it's best that
I do as much practice as I can
833
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,215
before going to a driving school.
834
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,575
Yeah. You can't beat practice.
835
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,295
All helps, doesn't it?
Yep, it does.
836
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,535
Driving behind the wheel has left
Tommy in a celebratory mood,
837
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,175
and he's looking forward to
continuing the birthday festivities.
838
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,615
So as evening falls,
839
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,095
the friends have arranged to meet
at their local,
840
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,015
and Sarah's excited to reveal
her surprise to the birthday boy.
841
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,295
Can we get three cheers for Tommy?
842
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,575
Hip-hip...
ALL: Hooray!
843
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,415
Hip~hip...
Hooray!
844
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,895
Hip~hip...
Hooray!
845
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,655
There you go. Happy birthday.
Oh, it's a Ford as well.
846
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,935
REUBEN: Happy birthday, Tom!
Cheers.
847
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,895
Did you make this?
Yes, I did, actually.
848
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,495
I, er... I got the wheels a bit
wrong, but the rest's all right.
849
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,055
You've got it close enough.
850
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,455
It was a shoe, but then I decided
to turn it into a tractor.
851
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,535
But anyway, happy birthday, lad.
Aye, cheers.
852
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,935
Go on, then, Tom, make a wish.
853
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,415
ALL: Hooray!
854
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,175
Typical Ford... on fire.
Did you bake it, Sarah?
855
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,375
No, sadly, I didn't.
It looks pretty good.
856
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,215
Thank you very much, yeah.
It looks lovely.
857
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:16,335
No problem.
858
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,775
We'll get cake sawn up,
and I'll share it out.
859
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,055
Split it for us,
and put a clutch in.
860
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,255
Window's a bit frosted,
need to start it up and de-mist it.
861
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,255
Hey, Tommo,
you had a good birthday, like?
862
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,455
Yeah, no, it's been grand.
Good craic, like?
863
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,655
Yeah, no, glad to be 18,
864
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,975
and thanks for everyone coming today
and having some drinks and that.
865
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,215
Happy birthday, big lad.
Cheers.
866
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,975
'It's really good to have all me
friends ancl family up here tonight
867
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,415
'celebrating my 18th.'
868
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,295
And, yeah, been a cracking clay.
869
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,895
Been on my first driving lesson
with Neil.
870
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,055
Exciting times ahead
and hopefully do some more trucking.
871
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,455
But I also wanna continue working
with Reuben and Sarah.
872
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,375
Couldn't wish for anything better.
873
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,575
The friends have made the most
of autumn.
874
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,095
They've cleared space in the yard
by cashing in on Reuben's clutter
875
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,255
and picked up new skills
along the way.
876
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,535
And with the festive season
around the corner,
877
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,015
there'll be plenty more celebrating
to look forward to.
878
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,375
Next time... it all goes wrong
for Reuben and his pals.
879
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,175
The tank has floated out the hole.
That is a total disaster.
880
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,415
Tommy and Sarah decorate a dozer...
Eight-foot tree.
881
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,615
Strap it to the front of the tractor
and decorate that.
882
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,935
...for a festive show like no other.
883
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,055
There's Mum and Dad. Mum with
pink phone, Dad in't red jacket.
884
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,335
And Reuben has a birthday surprise
for his younger brother Sidney.
885
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,055
Did you actually buy this for me?
Yeah, no, got it for you Sid.
886
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,855
lthought
it was just up your street.
