I can certainly see why you like it here. It's gorgeous. And you have a great job. You're clearly respected. Makes me wonder if I've clung on in Ambridge too long. All right, come on then. We've avoided it long enough. How bad is it? Things must be pretty dire for you to come all this way. Oh, Debbie. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I thought when I came back to the farm, Brian and I had turned a new page. Recently, though.

He've just become impossible. Do you think he's losing his faculties? That's what Alice and Kate seem to think. I don't know. He's definitely more erratic. Whether it's dementia, though, what I'm worried about is the farm. I keep trying to impress on him the need to become more resilient, maybe moving away from commodity crops, planting more sustainable heritage grains like spelt and einkorn. He just will not have it. I can't blame him for being sceptical. It's a pretty niche market.

Big producers aren't going to stop wanting standardised high protein flour. No, okay. I mean, I know what battling Brian is like. I'm glad my only battle is now with continental weather. Cold winters and summer droughts. Yeah, but that's not why Brian's being so obstinate. Recently, one of his big ideas to deal with some poorly performing land was to store caravans on it. Sorry, what? Oh, don't worry, he gave up on it fairly quickly. Why?

It's not about different farming outlooks, though. He's just disagreeing, because I'm the one suggesting it. Adam, that's not... Honestly, Debbie. Look, I agree. He has to realise the world is changing, but just... Try not to take it personally, though. How am I meant not to, when he can't bear to hand over the reins? You and Brian have always clashed over what's best for the farm, haven't you? Then why was he going to make me his successor? Why was he going to leave me all the land?

Joten tämä ei ollut vain Brianin ajatus ääneen, vaan hän itse asiassa sanoi sinulle, että sinun olisit aloittanut maan. Kyllä. Ymmärrätkö, miksi minun piti nähdä sinut nyt? Tämä ei ole vain hän ja minun rauhoittaminen. Tämä on koko yrityksen tulevaisuus. Ja se vaikuttaa kaikille. No, ymmärrän. Sinä, minä, Kate, Alice, Rory. Me kaikki olemme yhteydessä yhteistyössä. Me kaikki tarvitsemme sitä, jotta olemme hyödyllisiä. Adam, olen samaa mieltä. En tiedä, että hän oli niin yllättävällä. No.

Emme voi jatkaa tällaista, Debbie. Hän päättää yhdessä. Mutta miten? En ole varma. Meillä on yhteistyötä ensi kuukaudessa. Jos olisimme kertoneet hänelle, että on aikaa, se olisi saanut häneltä nähdä, että hän pitäisi palata täysin takaisin. Hänet pitäisi vahvistaa oikeasti. Kyllä. Mutta meidän pitäisi puhua yhdessä ääressä. Mitä ajattelet, että toiset olisivat samaa mieltä?

As you know, Alice is already concerned about him. And Kate, well... She's a law unto herself. Yeah, but she's worried too. It's Rory who'd probably be the biggest challenge. Who knows, though, if we can persuade him it's what's best for Brian, and at least at the partnership meeting it would be strictly business. Yeah, I can just see Brian taking it that way. No, I know. Not that I can be there anyway. I'm speaking at a conference in Poland. Oh, yeah, I remember. But if we were able to tell Brian you were in agreement,

Hello, we've got another episode of ElectionCast for you, which means it's another outing for Remoter Voter.

This is where we hear from you why you cannot vote in person in either England, Scotland or Wales on the 7th of May.

Eleanor in Scotland says, I've got an entry for Remoter Voter.

It's the most boring reason possible.

Let's see.

But rural voters need representation in this.

And we've had this one from somebody who has not shared their name.

They say my remoter voter submission is this.

I will be in Greece with a group of around 100 quizzers for an annual event known as Greek Geek Week.

We will be spending a week or so playing various quiz formats such as buzzer quizzing, written papers and the 3K quiz run where you have to do penalty runs for wrong answers.

All of this will be in lovely sunny surroundings, mixing in some sightseeing and beach time too, I am sure.

Where is my invitation to Greek Geek Week?
