Reuben: Life in the Dales

Reuben takes on a new apprentice - his 18-year-old brother Miles. Together they excavate a giant pond for friend and farmer Adam. But when heavy rain fall turns the sodden clay ground into a bog, it's not long before the young apprentice gets a digger stuck axel deep and Tommy is called on to help save the day.

With winter approaching, it's time for Reuben and his crew to learn new skills to use in the colder season. The most pot-holed lane on the Owen's family farm is in urgent need of repair. However, as Reuben's team have never tarmacked before, it becomes a family challenge with mum Amanda, dad Clive and brothers Miles and Sid all joining in to help.

Reuben and Tommy are tasked with delivering a giant tree to their local market town for Christmas, but the pressure is on to get it there in time for the light switch on. During the holiday season, as Reuben's rusty vintage tractors need repairing, Sidney shows he's a dab hand at welding in the workshop. The whole team celebrate the year just gone and toast the year ahead.

Reuben sets about renovating a 200-year-old tumble-down cottage to sell on. With a gap in digging work, he and work mate Sonny set about clearing out the old property. During the excavations they discover an old well which little brother Sidney helps them investigate. Reuben also helps new girlfriend Jess round up her flock at her family farm.
