Matthew the milker is making his mark. And what is the crisis at Bridge Farm?

Tom and Jazzer are on the hunt for some escaped pigs - after a lot of bother and a false alarm at Lynda's and Grange Spinney they hope the latest sighting is real. Tom mentions that Kenton is thinking of running a book on how long it takes to catch them. Jazzer jokes about putting up "Wanted" posters with slogans.

At Brookfield Alistair is testing the cows for TB. Ruth's anxious that they get the all clear. Whilst looking for Pip, Matthew the contract milker tells Tom that Thursday is 'D-Day' - to see if they've got any reactors. Jill's keen to know from Ruth how the hunt for spring calving cows is going - Ruth has sourced a few possibles in the West Country and Ireland. Ruth and Jill think Matthew's a nice lad, and very good with the cows. He won't be around forever, though, and Ruth hopes Pip won't get hurt. Jill hadn't thought things were that serious between Pip and Matthew, and jokes that love makes fools of us all.
