In the second episode and Peter Kingdom is trying to trace that mysterious phone call. Could it really be from his dead brother?
Meanwhile Aeste an Estonian woman working for local farmer Jack Thriplow (Steve Pemberton) comes to see Peter. The farmer has taken her child.
Peter is reluctant to take matter to court. He finds out from Thriplow that Aeste abandoned her child. He is the father of the child and named on the birth certificate.
Worse still, Aeste is Ukrainian, a non EU citizen so faces deportation. Maybe Peter needs to get both parties to be united. The potential hiccup is that Lyle is willing to marry Aeste so she could stay in Britain.
The main story had several areas of insight. The use of EU labour that verged on exploitation. Yet at the same time the surrounding communities were also anti immigrant. A precursor to Brexit.
The supposedly humorous B plot was Lyle trying out for the annual dyke leaping contest. Unfortunately the poles were defective as it was made from the wrong type of wood.
Unfortunately Peter sister Beatrice is already increasingly irritating. I really thought that her character was not needed. She is really there for the main arc regarding the supposedly dead brother.
