David is feeling hounded, and the chips are down at Home Farm.

Brian's surprised to get an invitation to the Estate Christmas party. Justin Elliot has also invited them, and other local farmers, to a day's shooting. Brian thinks it could be fun but Adam is cynical. He'll think about it.
Jennifer and Brian are off to Prague on Thursday. Jennifer is preparing meals for Ruairi, whom Alice and Christopher will be looking after.
Jim gives David his two-penn'orth about the sale of Brookfield. He's disappointed in David, whom he thought was a man of principle. David tries to reason with him.
At the SAVE meeting, David again fights his corner. Jim's been invited to a drinks party being held by the Borchester Local Enterprise Partnership. Justin doesn't know Jim, so it's an opportunity to mingle quietly, with a guest, and find out about the wider plans. 
Brian discusses the future, now the plan to buy Brookfield has fallen through. The farm is currently supporting four households, five including Debbie, and it's not viable in the current climate. He thinks they need to sack Andy and Jeff and contract out their arable. Angry that Brian seems to be giving up on farming, Adam storms out. Brian can tell Justin Elliott to stuff his Christmas party and his shoot.
