Back in the Yard

Episode 6: Dream Machine

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Terry's back from Italy, inspired and dreaming of buying a £500,000 car-shredding machine. At the hairdressers, Lyndsay reveals to daughter Jemma that she also wants to get the shredder.

But there's no point unless the yard runs properly. Terry wants it like a production line, so Lyndsay's agreed to spend £20,000 installing concrete bays for specific parts.

There's change everywhere - the new apprentice is 23-year-old Heather. The lads have never seen a girl in overalls, and Dean seems quite taken with her.

Terry instructs the lads to clear where the bays will be built. Then he and Lyndsay take an estate agent to the riverside plot of land they'd bought for their retirement home. Now, they're keen to sell it to pay for the shredder.

It's the morning of the build - but nothing's been cleared and no work has been done. Usually, Terry would blow up - but today, he just rallies the troops. Lyndsay is proud he controlled his temper. But soon he spots good parts being wasted, and ends up shouting at his old friend Chris, who walks out.

Terry is furious, but tries to stay calm. He's tested when new uniforms he's ordered are the wrong size. And when Chris comes back, Terry handles it professionally. It's a turning point.

The bays are complete - Lyndsay cuts a red ribbon and Terry pops champagne. It's been a really tough year, but the Walkers are looking forward to the future. Show less
