Sam blames former villager Dryden Hogben for not doing it right before he left the village last year.

Rosemary learns more about her mother. George has put his land up for sale. Reverend Ruskin asks to speak to Sam. Sam's hopes about being elected churchwarden are dashed when Edward asks him who he thinks would be best elected as churchwarden, someone who is younger. Sam is disappointed at not being elected.

Rosemary makes an apology. Rumour gets round that James is installing a bathroom into the cottage he rents. James says he has actually bought the cottage so will be staying in Beckindale. The election for the People's Warden is held. Reverend Ruskin has some news of his own. He is being transferred to another parish in the area. He says he will keep in touch with Beckindale residents. Sam has been nominated as churchwarden but turns the vote down. It is between Annie and Cyril Bush. Cyril withdraws, so Annie is elected as the new churchwarden. Ruskin then declares the meeting closed.

It's lambing time, but with Annie now elected Church Warden there is a shortage of hands at Emmerdale Farm. While Annie's gone down to the village to talk to the vicar she's left Rosemary in charge of dinner. Sam's not impressed at first when she's making baked ham instead of boiled.

Madge continues to make her presence felt at Emmerdale Farm. Hilda's aghast to discover her sister-in-law has shown her face in Beckindale again. Sam finds himself in a predicament when his dislike for Madge is tempered by her flattery. When Madge is out collecting some cabbages, Sam says she was married to Frank Semple 30 years ago but she left him for a Londoner who was only in the village for 2 days. Sam says Frank went to London to find her but was unsuccessful, and upon his return to Beckindale, he shut himself away, and later died. Hilda wants Madge thrown out of The Woolpack, but Henry and Amos refuse.

There are doubts concerning Bob Matthews plans for the church, but for Sam there can only be one decision.

Annie has a difficult decision to make when Sam gives his ultimatum to the Parish Council.

Sam's resolution is put to a further test as one by one his 'friends' desert him and he finds himself alone.

Madge says she has been contacted by the housing officers in London, telling her they have a new flat for her. She says she will be returning to London tomorrow so will not be a nuisance to Beckindale any more. Madge opens up to Annie about how she ran off with a man, Mickey, when she left Frank. Madge says Frank and his family went to London to look for her so they could duff her and Mickey up, but Mickey had some mates as well. Madge says things did not work out shortly after they had arrived in London, and Mickey left her, and she gave up on men after that. Meanwhile, Beckindale awaits Sam's decision - the future of their traditional Harvest Supper hangs in the balance. Madge attends The Harvest Supper that night. She makes peace with Hilda and says to her that she is going back to London in the morning. Madge enjoys her last night in Beckindale and dances on the stage. Everyone has fun at the Supper.

Henry reveals his Christmas plans but they get an unexpected reception at Emmerdale Farm. Matt bumps into an old friend, Sarah Foster, when they both discover a sheep lying in the middle of a country road. Local artist P.B. returns to The Woolpack to do some more painting.

Rosemary has her own reasons for not wanting to go home for Christmas. Annie berates Sam for having too many opinions and Matt becomes closer to married Sarah.

There is concern over Matt's interest in Sarah but it doesn't seem to bother him. P.B. adds some touches to The Woolpack mural. Sarah shows interest in renting stables at Hawthorn Cottage.

It looks like disappointment all round for everyone but Amos and The Woolpack come up with a festive surprise when Amos dresses up as Father Christmas and presents Henry with the gift of a new pub sign.

Sarah has doubts concerning the stables at Hawthorn Cottage - but only Matt knows why. Kathy is suspicious when she sees Joe and Rosemary together.

Sarah's decision about the stables surprises everyone except Annie and she tells Matt that she is returning to her husband. She then says to Amos that she is leaving tomorrow. It transpires that she is not married at all, and she just said she was. Meanwhile, the New Year Celebrations are about to take place in The Woolpack. Sarah has dropped the idea of renting the stables. Sarah and Matt have a talk and decide to call things off. Matt says to Sarah she can come back to Beckindale any times and Sarah says she may just take him up on that offer.

Amos and Henry await a visit from a surveyor after a huge crack is found in The Woolpack fireplace. Amos suggests that Wilf Padgett has a look at it. Sam takes an interest in his toolshed at Emmerdale Farm and refuses to budge for anyone. Kathy Gimbel is talking on the phone, and Amos eavesdrops. She knows this, and mocks him by telling him that she is going to her dad's sisters, and that he should get more details tonight when they come for a drink.

The surveyor says there is a suspected earth fault under the pub. Sam does little to settle their minds when he tells Henry that over 40 years ago there used to be a house owned by Derby Eccles which was located behind the pub that fell down one night, following the discovery of a crack. Amos says that if Henry hadn't had mentioned surveying he could have had Wilf Padgett come back and fill the crack in. Henry suggests moving the premises and having the license transferred but Amos is not pleased.

Scaffolding is erected outside The Woolpack in preparation for a survey of the foundations. Beattie rings Matt to say she's taking the twins to Bradford. Henry tries to convince Amos that they need to move premises. Amos will not agree to this as yet. Amos and Henry mention Alison Gibbons, and Amos says he is surprised Wilks never heard from her.

Walter reveals that there has been a train accident at the junction, and Annie receives a call from Ben that Beattie's car was struck by a train, killing her and the twins. Meanwhile, Amos and Henry find somewhere to move The Woolpack to.

A policeman informs Matt that Beattie and the twins are dead. Ben takes Beattie's death hard and Sam worries that the twins were sent away because of him.

Matt breaks down in tears in front of Beth. Henry attempts to comfort Annie and Matt. Joe expresses his annoyance to Rosemary that nobody came to Hawthorn Cottage to inform him of the accident and instead had to hear about it from Kathy. Amos continues to bury his head in the sand over The Woolpack, even after Sam had told Henry that over 40 years ago, a house behind the Woolpack collapsed due to subsidence. Amos is adamant that the current premises will be safe.

Mel looks over the old corn chandlers. It is derelict and needs some work but is a viable new premises for The Woolpack. Matt learns to live with his grief but has difficulty convincing everyone else that life must go on. Henry agrees to Mel that he will have a look at the old corn chandlers. Mel says that a family with the surname Mason used to live there in the 1920s.

The move from The Woolpack now seems certain though plans to achieve this are very uncertain. Amos is annoyed at Henry for letting Walter in a minute before opening. Henry says he has had a look at the old corn chandlers and says it is a possibility. He says to Amos that a bolt on the front door is loose. Amos says he has been in this pub for 18 years. Mr Wilks says they will have a party on the last night at the current pub before moving the the new one.

Martin thinks Rosemary has behaved badly and insists that she owes him an explanation for seeing other men behind his back. Martin wants to know where Rosemary was on the night that Annie did not know where she was. As Rosemary is putting her coat on to walk out, Martin stands in front of the door, blocking her way. He says he would always tell her if he was up to anything, not make up excuses. Mel calls round and Martin then leaves. At The Woolpack, Sam gives the history of the old chandlers, saying Qatar Hughes lived there, and how the place could be haunted. Henry tells Amos that to get planning permission on the former corn chandlers, they have to let them know by today. Mel comes round to the Woolpack to discuss the move.

Mr Openshaw visits Emmerdale Farm and wants to know about Matt's relationship with Beth. Mel informs Henry and Amos that planning permission for the old corn chandlers has been approved and The Woolpack license can be transferred. Amos still isn't keen. Mel informs Henry that he can put him in contact with a firm in Bradford who can convert the corn chandlers into a pub within a week. Amos prepares for a visit from his aunt, but is disappointed when she cancels.

For those at Emmerdale Farm and The Woolpack it's a time to make plans and decisions about the future. Henry and Amos pack up their belongings ready for the move. They visit the new premises as it is being decorated. Amos says he does not feel at home here, and that Henry is being very hasty about all this. Mel says the new pub should be ready for use tomorrow night. A party is held at The original Woolpack to celebrate their last night of service in the building. Amos reluctantly gives a speech, expressing his gratitude to the customers and welcoming them to the new premises as of tomorrow.

The big day arrives for Amos and Henry, but at Emmerdale Farm life gets back to normal. Henry says the cosiness in the new Woolpack is missing but Amos seems to start liking the new pub. They go to the old Woolpack to collect a few final things with Mel before handing in the keys to the estate agent. The old Woolpack is now closed forever. Matt and Beth have a talk and decide to end their relationship, as does Mel and Rosemary.

The arrival of a new policeman, PC Will Croft, makes a quick but unhappy impression on Beckindale, especially with Fred Farrar. Amos worries about the new village police officer, who has taken over from Fred Hallam, and how his clock is always right. Croft tells him his clock is slow. He catches Fred poaching in a country lane and asks for his details. Fred says he shot the bird on a common road. PC Croft books him.

Sam visits Will and tells him that two sheep have been killed at Emmerdale Farm by a dog resembling Will's own Alsatian. He tells Will that if he's keen to arrest Fred maybe he should think about his own animal as well. Joe shoots the dog causing the fatalities and learns it is not Will's dog. Will decides not to continue with his prosecution of Fred.

Will's wife, Julie seeks Rosemary's help but there are misgivings about going behind people's backs. Matt visits Ted Dean who says he has been booked by Croft for driving his tractor more than 6 miles a day without a license. Lena is running the shop, and comments on Fred Farrar being a poacher, she is a bit shocked but amused.

Will continues to follow the letter of the law, but Sam finds a way to alter the course of justice. Due to Sam thinking Will's police dog, Saxon, killed 2 sheep on Emmerdale Farm land 3 nights ago, Will wants to prove or disprove it. He takes Saxon to a sheep field, and Saxon does not attack any of the sheep. It turns out there is a second dog in the area, which Saxon chases, and Joe shoots the dog, thus vindicating Saxon. Will says he will pursue his case against Fred Farrar. Will also tells Joe that if the bullet he fired had hit Saxon, then he'd be in big trouble.

Fred decides to turn himself in, but Annie has her own plans. Fred feels ill and Annie allows him to stay at Emmerdale Farm. She calls Dr Clare Scott. P.C Croft visits the grave of a former Beckindale policeman, Arthur Audry.

The day of Fred's arrest arrives - and goes with a lesson for all including P.C Croft. P.C Croft has found out that Fred shot the pheasant on common land and when it fell out of the tree afterwards, it was anybody's to pick up. Fred wants to be arrested but Croft says he will not take the matter any further. Sam says they should make him feel welcome. Croft then goes to The Woolpack for a pint with the locals that night.

The Sugdens' dinner is interrupted when a car crashes into the wall at Emmerdale Farm. Joe, Matt and Annie go to assist. A lady who was driving is in a state of shock but appears not to be badly hurt. She is taken into Emmerdale Farm. Sam says the new bobby will find out what happens. It is late at night and they say they will examine the full damage of the car in the morning. The driver is taken to the attic conversion at Emmerdale and given a bed for the night.

Heather stays at the farm overnight and Annie calls for a doctor. Annie takes Heather Bannerman some breakfast. Heather's car is badly damaged, as is the wall, and Matt and Joe clear some of the rubble. Locum doctor Dr Evans calls, as Dr Scott is unavailable. Heather admits the car is not her's but her husband Steve Bannerman's.

Rosemary finally confesses to Annie why it is she must leave Emmerdale. Heather's husband, Steve, arrives at the farm.

Rosemary is confused - Heather Bannerman is a woman who seems to have everything yet is reluctant to return to her husband.

Rosemary is upset when she witnesses an argument between Steve and Heather in which he threatens to hit her. She tells a furious Annie who orders them out. Heather and Steve leave. Afterwards, Rosemary finds Heather's handbag and her shawl has been left behind. Annie is not happy at the prospect that she will have to return to collect them.

Heather returns to Emmerdale Farm to collect her handbag and apologises to Rosemary for her and Steve's behaviour. Martin is surprised by Rosemary's sudden decision about their future.

After more than two years, Jack Sugden returns to Emmerdale Farm but he is not the only visitor as Joe's wife, Christine, also pays a visit - letting herself into Hawthorn Cottage. Jack is surprised to find The Woolpack has relocated premises and is greeted by Annie, Amos and Henry.

Joe has doubts about Christine's intentions when he arrives to find her at Hawthorn Cottage. They have a big talk about their marriage. Jack receives a letter from his publishers. They want to know when he will tell them ideas on his next book.

Matt takes Rosemary for a drive through the village. They see Christine at the graves of Sally and Sam. Annie finds herself involved in Joe's decision about the future of his marriage. Christine tells her there is no hope for her and Joe. Jack meets Christine for the first time.

When a letter arrives from Rome, doubts grow concerning Jack's reason for returning to Emmerdale Farm. Jack reads the letter, then screws it up.

A misunderstanding puts more strain on the already shaky reunion between Joe and Christine. Rosemary plans to return to Middlesborough. Amos sees Nan cycling down past The Woolpack. Amos says that she is nursing her cousin Bella who has been ill for the past year.

Joe makes a decision concerning his marriage but he is not completely sure it is the right one and Christine decides to leave Beckindale for good, leaving Joe standing on the moors. Rosemary decides to leave Beckindale and return to her mother. She shares a kiss with Joe before leaving.

Christine has left, but for Joe problems are far from over. He talks his anger out on Matt. Tad is struggling to cope with his dying wife Bella. Jack visits, Tad when Nan comes downstairs to have a word in private with Tad. Bella has taken a turn for the worse and has to go to hospital. Amos and Henry are having lunch in The Woolpack when Amos suggests that Tad is having an affair with Nan while Bella is dying. Henry is very annoyed, as his late wife Margaret needed a carer when she was dying. Henry says he would have swung for anyone who suggested the things Amos had bene hinting at. He storms out round to Emmerdale where he is actually a bit sorry that he had a go at Amos.

So far, Jack's return home has not turned out as he hoped, but the situation is about to change. Nan delivers some sad news to Tad about Bella.

At Emmerdale Farm, the family's troubles continue, but they seem to have brought a new understanding between Annie's two sons.

Joe is determined to resolve problems concerning his marriage but Christine's father threatens to complicate matters.

Christine's father means to find Joe but the meeting at Hawthorn Cottage is not as he expects.

Jack says he is leaving again tomorrow, so gets ready to say goodbye again, but not before putting several matters right. A disgruntled Robert tries to track down Joe. Jack tells Robert to not have it out with Joe during his evening here at The Woolpack. He asks him to save it for tomorrow so that they can have an enjoyable night. Jack tells Amos that he likes the new Woolpack premises and that it is better than the old Woolpack. Amos says that he is taking to this place as well and that it has developed a good atmosphere. He thanks Jack for his kind words. The following morning, Jack gets into a taxi and leaves for the airport. The others all wave him off. As Jack leaves, Robert pulls up in his car.

Annie and Joe are stunned by Robert's proposed settlement for his daughter's divorce. Robert says that Christine is entitled to half of Joe's share in Emmerdale Farm. Robert gives Joe the name of his lawyer. When Henry is told, he is also worried about his share in Emmerdale. Henry knows that Robert's lawyer is known to cut corners. Henry plans to travel to Bradford to do legal research. Henry confronts Robert and says he will do whatever it takes to protect his investment in Emmerdale.

Robert gets more than he bargained for when Henry offers to help Annie. Henry comes back from Bradford having done legal research. He tells Robert that if his daughter Christine is entitled to half of Joe's share in Emmerdale Farm, then Joe is also entitled to half of Christine's share in Robert's dairy farm, and her share is quite a lot. As Christine is more well off than Joe, Henry says that Joe can sue for maintenance on Christine's share. Henry suggests no claims on either side be made. Robert agrees to the deal, and while he is not pleased that his plan has backfired, he then quietly leaves the pub, and Joe is finally free from the Sharp's forever. Amos decides to sell the old Woolpack, while Henry agrees to use the old airing cupboard as a new toilet room.

Emmerdale Farm basks in the hot summer sun as the Sugden family and the people of Beckindale return for a new series, with the start of events that could change their lives in the months ahead.

After Henry's surprising announcement that he plays bowls, Sam watches him play and is encouraged by his skill, prompting him to consider his selection for the annual cricket match. At The Woolpack, Henry's intrigued to find out why Tom and Lucy are talking about Hawthorn Cottage because Joe has said nothing to him about selling it.

Speculation is rife as the news spreads that Kathy is back in Beckindale. Meanwhile, in the middle of the night at The Woolpack, Amos wakes Henry because he's heard something. They investigate, find nothing but Amos is now still more certain that there's something supernatural going on.

Henry is hurt because Joe has not informed him about the impending sale of Hawthorn Cottage and tells Annie that he will give him a talking to about how to conduct business. Annie gives Kathy a lift home from the shops and tells Joe of her return to Beckindale. Soon after the phone rings and it is Kathy to say that she has left her bag in Annie's car. Seizing his chance to see Kathy again, Joe offers to deliver it personally.

Sam is a man with things on his mind. He tells Annie of his disgust at the behaviour of young people although Annie makes it quite clear that Joe and Matt are grown men and can do as they like. This does little to disguise Sam's anxiety though because really he is worried about the appearance of Phil Kiston at the cricket match.

The evening of the great day has arrived and the cricket match is in progress, with Beckindale batting - but not with stunning success, especially since Phil Kitson is playing. Meanwhile, Joe and Kathy discuss their plans on the way to The Woolpack for the celebrations. Kathy is having a hard time at home so they agree that if Joe can find a suitable place to live together in the village, they'll shack up as man and wife, no matter what anybody says.

Amos is insistent that The Woolpack ghost maybe a poltergeist. Henry goes birdwatching and spots Janet Thompson, an old flame of his thirty years ago.

Janet and Henry are doing their very best to re-establish their relationship of some thirty years ago. While driving Henry back to Beckindale, Janet invites him to her hotel in Bradford for supper. He declines the offer and instead suggests lunch the following day. Annie is intrigued as to Joe's determination to find a cottage in the village.

Annie is determined to pump Joe for information about his plans for the new cottage. But Joe is very reticent, only admitting that Kathy might be involved, which satisfies Annie - for now. Later on at tea, Janet tells Annie that for years she's been saddled with an ailing parent but at last she's free and now she's met Henry again.

Henry is looking for an excuse to go see Janet in Bradford but Amos is in no mood to give way to him, especially as the poltergeist seems to have been active with some bottles of fruit juice.

Amos confides to Annie that Henry is getting more and more involved with Janet so his surprise is understandable when he discovers that Annie has invited both Janet and Henry to the farm for lunch. Joe arrives back from Hotten with the news that a deal has been agreed for the sale of Hawthorn Cottage and that he's made an offer for the cottage in Demdyke Row. After lunch, Henry and Janet go for a walk, and after a good deal of trying, he persuades Janet to stay at The Woolpack.

It's the morning after the night before and Amos is grumbling at Henry that he can't get on with the cleaning because Janet hasn't come down for breakfast. Joe's informed that his offer for Demdyke Row has been refused prompting Annie to warn him not to do anything that may turn the village against him, a clever hint about her disapproval about his reformed relationship with Kathy.

Joe informs Kathy that he is reconsidering his offer for the cottage in Demdyke Row despite Kathy's remark that them living together in the middle of the village would raise a few eyebrows. Meanwhile, Amos is far from impressed with the arrival of George Bailey, an old friend of Henry's and director of Oldbastons Brewery, in The Woolpack.

George looks set to ruffle a few feathers in The Woolpack after he suggests to Henry that the pub needs a barmaid, an idea that Henry thinks will horrify Amos. Joe is confused as to why the bank has refused his loan application. Annie is defensive about the subject but suggests he approaches Henry for the money.

Early in the morning and unexpectedly, the new priest in charge, the Reverend William Hockley arrives at the Vicarage. Joe is trying to find the right moment to tell Annie about him and Kathy.

Joe finally tells Annie that he and Kathy are moving in together, but only with the help of Sam. She takes the news better than was expected but still suggests that Joe should think again. On his way out of church, Matt bumps into Dolly Acaster, who is on her way to Beckindale and looking for Henry. It isn't long before word gets around - helped nicely by Amos - that she is to be employed at The Woolpack as the new barmaid.

William seems determined that things will be seen his way, which upsets Sam. Meanwhile, Amos is still struggling to come to terms with the idea of Dolly working in The Woolpack. Joe and Kathy prepare for their first night in the cottage in Demdyke Row.

Word starts to spread that Joe and Kathy are shacking up together. Henry is upset that Joe didn't tell him that Kathy was moving in with him. Sam has gone missing but is eventually found by William who invites him into the Vicarage to spend the night. Sam tells him of his feelings about what Kathy and Joe have done.

Annie decides to pay Kathy a visit in the new cottage. Amos has gone to follow Matt and William who have responded to a rescue call about a cow stuck on the fell. Eventually, Matt and William, returning with a dead cow in the back of the landrover, discover a lost Amos and in answer to his plea for help tell him that he's only yards from the village.

Sam is still making his angry feelings about Joe and Kathy very clear. It is Remembrance Sunday and despite Annie's determination not to let the village gossip get the better of her, Sam is deep in thought about the day of judgement and this is when Joe will see the error of his ways.

Amos can't believe his eyes when his Swedish visitors, Asta and Olof, arrive. They also make a very unusual request - to go pot-holing.

Kathy's brother Martin calls round at Demdyke Row to inform her and Joe that he is off to join the army. Shortly after Henry comes round to discuss the ball but it is not too long before Kathy decides that she should go and attempt one last reconciliation with her parents.

It is the night of the ball in Harrogate and Kathy and Joe are dressed up and determined to enjoy themselves despite Kathy being told by her parents that they don't want to see her again. A night that is meant for enjoyment quickly turns to concern as the two Swedish men, Olaf and Asta, become trapped down a pot-hole. Amongst the concern though is delight for Amos who is called upon by the Hotten Courier to cover the rescue story and is promptly taken to the pot-hole mouth by Henry. After many hours Olaf is dragged above ground with injuries but there is still no sign of Asta.

The rescue search continues for Asta but conditions are beginning to worsen. As a hope of finding her alive fades, the rescue team decides to enter the cave from a back entrance to try and find her. The rescue ends in success when Matt finds Asta on a ledge. As the celebrations commence for the rescuers Joe and Kathy sit quietly in the bar, discussing what's happened to her family following the news that Freda has finally left Jim and gone to live with her aunt Carrie.

Sam's down in the dumps when a mystery letter from France brings back memories of the First World War.

The arrival of an old friend of Sam's spells chaos and confusion for everyone - but he's bringing the most remarkable news.

Sam goes to meet his old pal Gilbert at the airport.

Basil has fixed everything - there's going to be a meeting at The Woolpack, but landlord Amos doesn't want any rowdiness.

It's the morning after the old soldiers' reunion and there are thick heads all round, but what Basil has arranged now puts the cap on it for Sam.

Gilbert returns to France today, but first he attends an official reception at the Civic Hall in Leeds, accompanied by Sam and Basil.

Kathy is struggling to come to terms with the hostility that her and Joe are receiving from some of the other villagers, despite the fact that it was expected. Annie and Henry take a trip to Bradford and while they are there, Henry receives an offer for The Woolpack from his friend Mr Gunnarson which stuns Amos back at Beckindale.

The Gunnarsons come to Beckindale to meet Matt in order to thank him for saving their two children Olaf and Asta in the pot-hole accident. A meal is organised at Emmerdale Farm for all the involved parties to congregate. It becomes clear by the end of the evening though that Mr Gunnarson has business on his mind as well as thank you's.

Annie and William come to blows over how the one thousand pounds that George Barrett left the church should be spent. Meanwhile, in The Woolpack, Dolly gives Henry an ultimatum - either Amos starts treating her with more respect or she will leave.

Kathy is far from pleased at the fact that Joe is staying up at Emmerdale. An argument is inevitable and when Joe goes to the cottage a fight begins until Joe leaves to go to Leeds. Mystery surrounds Amos's absence from the pub. He has told Dolly that he will be back later but not when and where he is going. He can't keep his destination secret for long though when he is seen by Mr Gunnarson with the driving instructor Mrs Morphet. Mrs Morphet says that he can't start driving until until he has had his eyes tested and just when things couldn't get any worse his bike is stolen.

Dolly is becoming disillusioned with her job at The Woolpack and Kathy is becoming disillusioned with her relationship with Joe and contemplates moving back home with her father, despite their previous problems.

It's time for the Emmerdale AGM. The financial situation is dreadful so Henry suggests the idea of the boatyard business. Meanwhile, Amos is called to a road accident in his role as Beckindale reporter.

Annie tries to persuade William that there is enough talent in the village to support a concert. A health inspector visits Demdyke Row following complaints that there have been mice emanating from there. Kathy tries in vain to stop Joe from finding out but in Beckindale your business is everybody's business.

Amos drops a large hint to Henry that since his driving lessons with Mrs Morphet have been terminated he will need somebody else to teach him. Meanwhile, Dolly receives a phone call from George Bailey who appears to be offering her a job at his pub.

Henry persuades Annie to appear in her own concert after being impressed with her piano playing skills.Lucy finds Matt and Dolly in a compromising position in the Village Hall after spending the evening at Emmerdale with Annie and Sam.

Sam is furious with Amos because of a misprint in the Hotten Courier and Amos makes the mistake of taking it out on Dolly.

As the concert draws closer more acts are recruited to perform. Without even realising he has done so, Amos agrees to do a comedy routine and following yet another row, Kathy reveals to Joe that she is learning to sing in public again so that she can perform at the concert.

Henry prepares to be a last minute stand-in in one of the sketches after a performer drops out with flu. Kathy is extremely upset after Henry's quips about selling the cottage reaches her as a true statement from Joe. Joe says its all a misunderstanding but Kathy doesn't seem convinced.

Kathy and Joe's relationship reaches a new low following the news that Jim has committed suicide and she is so upset at his death that she returns to pack her bags in preparation for departure.

Joe fails in his attempt to reassure Kathy that Jim's suicide wasn't her fault. She is still adamant on leaving and returning home to her farm and in a further bombshell to Joe she tells him that she can't marry him. Amos takes a stand against the editor at the Hotten Courier as he refuses to pry into the private lives of the Gimbels in order to fulfll his role as a reporter.

William announces that Freda has left the village, Amos announces that he has been asked to write an obituary of Jim for the Hotten Courier. Meanwhile, Annie is concerned when she attempts to wake Sam from his sleep but there is no response. She calls the doctor out. Also, Joe is smitten to meet the new owner of Hawthorn Cottage - Lesley.

Henry suggests to Matt that Lucy could move into the farm. Annie falls down the stairs and breaks her arm, and Henry has to take her to hospital which means that Lucy has to man the fort with Matt.

Help is on hand for Annie as Lucy has taken two weeks off work to come on help on the farm until Annie is better. Seizing his opportunity, Henry persuades Annie and Sam to go to Rome for a relaxing holiday, with the help of a little white lie from Jack who is already there. At The Woolpack, Amos is given a cryptic message by Lesley about the Ephraim's Brewery.

Preparations for the holiday are in full swing but Annie is concerned about what gossip will spread if Matt and Lucy are left to stay at Emmerdale on their own. Henry takes her heavy hints and agrees to stay at the farm for the duration of her absence. Amos receives a blow when Lesley reveals to him that her family owns the brewery which supplies a lot of The Woolpack's beer.

As Matt and Lucy prepare to spend their final day living together it is clear that they have grown fond of one another. There's a suspicious character in the area and it comes in the form of Syd Harker who has been released from jail. He's the last person Joe wants to see again but it isn't long before he's hanging around Emmerdale Farm. At The Woolpack, Amos announces that he's been given an assignment by the Courier but he can't talk about it on the grounds that its secret and dangerous.

Syd is ruffling a few feathers since returning from prison, not least Joe's and their inevitable meeting is a heated exchange of words but this is only a taster of things to come! Meanwhile, at Emmerdale, Lucy has returned after an unsuccessful spell as a lodger to Mrs Lumley. She has also given up her job so her and Annie set about deciding what she is going to do in the future.

Joe informs Annie that Syd has been sleeping at Demdyke Row and speculation mounts that it is more than just a coincidence that Syd has arrived back in Beckindale at the same time as the sheep have been stolen.

Syd casually admits to William that he is responsible for the sheep thefts. He is calm because he knows that until evidence is found to prove that he did it then he is in the clear. Joe is determined to find that evidence but first he has to convince Annie and the rest of Emmerdale Farm that his obsession isn't just an act of revenge.

Annie speaks to Syd and is now convinced that he is trying to be a good lad after he tells her that he has got a job as a sheep loader and has moved back in with his mum. Henry visits the butchers in Manton but his reaction to his entrance makes him even more suspicious about the sheep stealing. Sam goes to The Woolpack for the darts and dominoes evening, but the pub is so full there is no room to play the games.

As Lucy prepares to leave Beckindale for the final time, Annie tells her that everyone notices the way William has been looking at her but she denies any type of romance. Joe and Matt take up a vantage point above where they expect the latest sheep theft to take place. They get what they came to see but it seems that the police have already beaten them to it.

Clearing up after the storm, Annie also faces the problem of repairing Ray and Sarah's lives.

Henry and Joe are hatching a surprise for Annie, but her attention is focused on the imminent arrival of Sarah's baby.

Annie feels a mother's concern at Joe's thoughts of a move, but she decides she won't hold on if he wants to leave Beckindale.

Drama in the night as everyone waits for the birth of Sarah's baby, but the one person who should be there is missing.

Amos is up in arms over Ray's refusal to co-operate with the Hotten Courier, but that's all forgotten when the baby comes back to Emmerdale.

Amos has problems with The Woolpack clock, but that is soon forgotten when he gets an odd invitation which leads to an even stranger meeting.

There's a surprise phone call from Jack in Rome. He wants to write Sam's biography - to the astonishment of Amos and Henry. Amos goes for a tour around Ephriam's and is stunned to discover that his host for the duration will be Dolly. He is even more stunned when she asks for her job back at The Woolpack.

Sam prepares to embark on his trip to Rome so that Jack can write his biography. Henry and Amos are in conflict once again over whether or not to employ Dolly who has smoothed her path back into Beckindale by apologising to Annie for the events that occurred at the concert.

There is a new vicar in Beckindale to replace the departed Reverend Hockley and he goes by the name of David Cowper but his entrance is not noticed because the rest of Beckindale is celebrating the Jubilee. Matt and Dolly enjoy a romantic afternoon picnic during which Dolly tells Matt that she's sick of working at The Woolpack but she doesn't want to leave Beckindale. There's a surprise call from Sam but he wants to speak to the vicar for a reason that is unknown to everyone else.

Henry is keen on having a barbecue as part of the Jubilee celebrations but he is stopped in his tracks by Amos and Mrs Bullock. Amos reaches boiling point with Henry over Dolly and the final straw comes when he finds her smalls hanging out in the yard! Up at Emmerdale Farm, Joe and Matt discover Basil Ackroyd's car in the farmyard and it's piled high with luggage.

Annie receives an odd phone call which may have something to do with the new vicar. Joe and Matt are determined to establish the real reason for Basil's arrival in Beckindale.

It emerges that the malicious phone calls that Annie has received are about David and his activities outside church. Annie tells Henry that the caller mentioned a girl called Julie and they speculate about who the caller could be. They also discuss why the landlord of The Malt Shovel received an identical phone call. Matt and Dolly enjoy some time alone by the river but as they begin to head back it emerges that they have not been alone at all. A woman has been spying on them all the time.

Jubilee day has arrived and Basil is keen to make sure that he is celebrating at Henry's expense by inviting Annie to dinner the following evening. Later on in the day, Joe receives a phone call from David who tells him that Dolly has fallen off her scooter. Joe tells Matt who immediately departs to see her. The doctor tells Dolly not to use her leg for a bit so work at the pub is out. At this point, Matt departs from the Vicarage to collect the damaged scooter and tell Henry. Leaving David and Dolly alone, David offers a spare room to Dolly.

The controversies surrounding David continue with Mrs Bullock demanding a reprimand for him following his 'antics' at the dance in Hotten. Joe assures Annie that nothing untoward happened at the dance but she points out that Vicars have to set an example. In the meantime, Dolly has decided to accept David's offer of a room at the Vicarage. David also speaks to Amos about a room at The Woolpack. The phone calls are continuing as well, and it is only through strong persuasion from David that Annie and Henry agree not to phone the police. They agree to a delay of two days. David thinks he knows who are behind the calls. Suddenly, things come to a head as Amos receives a call at The Woolpack that horrifies him.

Allegations are being made by the caller that David has done a girl wrong. He explains to Joe that it was a girl that he was supposed to marry but he changed his mind and someone is still holding a grudge.

Joe and Matt are still deliberating over why Basil has really come to Beckindale with Joe overhearing Basil talking about his home life only fuelling their intrigue. Dolly packs away her things at The Woolpack as she prepares to move to the Vicarage. The explanation for the malicious phone calls is now beginning to work its way around the village. Henry informs Amos that the phone calls came from a girl that David once nearly married but she is now mentally ill and has just been released from a mental home. Meanwhile, Basil is doing everything he can to avoid his daughter Renee Barstow, who is searching for him. According to her, he left home after the rest of the family tried to put him on a diet!

A fire brakes out at Emmerdale Farm in a stack of straw and the Beckindale Volunteer Fire Service is manfully fighting the blaze. During the fire fighting one of the members of the team is burned.

David is becoming frustrated at the length of time it is taking the people of Beckindale to accept him. Frank Armitage causes a stir in Beckindale when he announces to Amos, in his reporter role, that he plans to build a caravan site on his land in order to fund his passion for stock car racing. Despite the problems that it could cause Joe is convinced that Frank won't budge and Annie is worried that the whole issue is going to split the close knit village.

Amos interviews Ted for the courier. Matt and Joe discuss Frank's planned caravan site. Just as Joe is about to have dinner, but he receives a call about another fire in the village. Amos is also called out to the fire. Joe gets a hands-on lesson from Ted as he puts out a potentially dangerous barn fire.

Joe reveals his idea for stopping Frank's caravan site. He proposes that Emmerdale Farm should also apply for a licence for a caravan site, reckoning that they've got a field that's more suited and that if there is to be a site, it might as well be run properly. Henry is impressed but Matt is sceptical. Matt is also unhappy about Dolly's advancing relationship with David, especially when he finds out that he is taking her to Leeds on a night out.

Frank has an inkling that Joe is up to something but has no idea to what extent his secretive antics will effect his caravan plans. It's the Robblesfield Gala and Amos is there in his roving reporter role to cover the procession of vintage fire engines which Joe is part of. Amos then proceeds to ruin Joe's afternoon by telling him who may be his new next door neighbour - Henry.

Annie puts a dampener on Henry's plans to buy the cottage next door to Joe's, her reason being that she doesn't believe that the rich should corner the market for cottages and suggests he thinks again. Ted Barker launches a scathing attack on Amos in The Woolpack after the Courier publishes an article, written by Amos, quoting Ted as saying the recent spate of fires have all been caused by the tourists. Meanwhile, Frank's plans for a caravan site have collapsed following a fire at his farm leaving Emmerdale as the only applicant for planning permission. A caravan site is theirs - if they want it.

David's scheme for bringing children to the Dales for holidays has come unstuck with one of the families and a girl called Angela has been left homeless. Somewhere else has to be found for her, which won't be easy as she's a difficult child from a broken home. Dolly suggests Emmerdale and, though doubtful, agrees to ask. Annie says yes, as always, much to the delight of Joe, especially after he sees what the girl called Angela looks like.

Sam is back from Rome. He descends the long hill behind the farm and spots a girl in his vegetable garden. When he reaches her perplexed as to who she may be, he speaks brusquely to her, but all she will say is that she's staying at the farm. Sam decides to go investigate.

Amos is horrified when Sam says that he might write a piece for the Courier about his experiences in Italy instead of letting Amos interview him for his piece. Angela appears to be finally coming out of her shell after Henry takes her out birdwatching and rewards her for her good behaviour with a shandy in The Woolpack.

There's a change of vicar in the village and it puts Dolly's living arrangements in jeopardy once again. Angela and Sam go for walk up on the fell. All is going well until Angela continually plays with her radio and this prompts Sam to get cross. Angela responds by running away from him. She then walks through a field and leaves the gate open, frightened by the cows, which start to escape.

There's plenty of cows roaming about after she left the gate open, but Angela hasn't been seen since she ran away from Sam. It emerges that a pregnant cow has fallen so the Fell Rescue Team has to be called out. Amos immediately smells a story.

The post induction-party gives the new vicar, Donald, a chance to introduce himself to Beckindale. One person that is missing though is Angela. She has decided that following the previous nights dramas on the fell, it would be best if she returns home which she did that afternoon. On her way back to The Woolpack, Dolly bumps into Matt who is on his way to the party. They exchange pleasantries and it isn't long before Matt realises that The Woolpack is a more appealing evening than the post-induction party.

It is night time, and Matt has just dropped Dolly at the Vicarage after a night out. As he drives past The Woolpack, a shadowy figure passes in front of his headlight, going away from the pub. Meanwhile in The Woolpack, Henry discovers that the front door is open. He accuses Amos of having neglected his duties but Amos fervently denies this. He wants to call the police but as nothing seems to have been stolen or damaged, Henry tells him not to be so silly. Amos' fears are proved justified the next day though when Sam, in The Woolpack, spots a vacant niche where the Butterworth Ball should be and realises someone has taken it.

Joe and Matt come to the conclusion that the Butterworth Ball is in the hands of someone in Robblesfield. Then all of a sudden a girl appears and turns out to be Lesley. She is staying at Hawthorn Cottage with her grandparents. Dolly is not getting on with Donald. So much so that she tells Matt she is thinking of leaving Beckindale altogether to work somewhere else.

Annie receives a mysterious phone call at Emmerdale Farm but whoever the caller wanted is out. Meanwhile at The Woolpack, Amos is in big trouble when Fred Teaker enters the pub to examine the Butterworth Ball. When Amos prevaricates, Fred leaves, with threats that if it isn't the real ball, Amos is in big trouble!

In the middle of the night, there is a disturbance in the Vicarage garden which brings out Donald and Dolly. Getting no answer, Donald goes inside and phones the police while the intruder slinks away. Lesley is given a helping hand by Annie when she goes to the vicar's to start preparations for her grandparents' re-marriage. Meanwhile, Sam thinks Little Teaker knows where the Butterworth Ball is.

Amos is fighting a rearguard action against the Hotten Courier who are demanding that he produces an article about the Butterworth Ball. In the evening, Annie approaches Sam with a proposition. Mr and Mrs Gibson are getting married again and Annie wants Sam to be the best man.

Lesley informs Joe that she's got a secret to tell him but Amos is in earshot. After Sam's refusal to be best man at the wedding, Annie turns to Henry who readily accepts. The only problem is that the football team will be left without a trainer. Henry quickly solves the problem though by suggesting that Amos could do it instead and Sam agrees. Amos gets the wrong end of the stick when he sees Annie and Henry setting off in their finery for the church. He decides to stick around and see what develops, totally forgetting about the football match.

Amos complains to Dolly about how the whole village seems to be obsessed with the play. Up at Emmerdale Farm, Joe is repairing the drive when a young man, Richard Roper, drives past in a car, stops a bit down the road, then comes up. He tells Joe that he's merely looking around then drives off again as Henry arrives. Joe tells him that Richard has been driving past the farm several times and Henry replies that he's seen him in the village too.

Amos continues with his negative attitude towards the play but it turns out that his real grouse is that no one asked him to be in the play in the first place. Rumours persist about the man called Richard. Amos emerges with the theory that he is Dolly's fiance and thinks that she's led Matt a bit of a dance but Henry points out that Richard may be only an ex-fiance

Dolly continues to fend off Richard's attempts for a reconciliation. He comes up against some stern opposition though in the form of Annie. When he tells her that he wants to marry Dolly, Annie turns on him and tells him that she knows about the baby and that he was never much of a father and that he can't own people, like he wants to own his son and Dolly. Later on that evening at the farm, Dolly drops her bombshell on Matt, telling him that she won't be staying for Christmas after all and that she has a child.

Richard is all set to meet up with Matt to inform him of his plans to marry Dolly but Dolly intervenes and strikes a deal with him. Dolly promises Richard that if he doesn't meet up with Matt, then she will meet him in the New Year to discuss the future. Richard agrees and a date is set for the two of them to meet in January at Brassington. That evening the play takes place and Matt is one of the stars of the proceedings, but despite this Dolly can't bear to watch despite Annie's pleas. She needs time to go away and think about what she wants. At the end of the play, Henry comes out to take Dolly down to Hotten for her bus.

Spirits are low at Emmerdale Farm until Amos Brearly admits he knows where Dolly Acaster is hiding. But Annie Sugden wonders if she should tell Matt Skilbeck.

Sam is furious at the thought of Matt spending the night in a hotel room with Dolly. At The Red Lion, Matt announces his intention to go to bed, but Richard insists on a last drink, after Matt has told them that he's staying at the hotel. When Richard goes off to get the drinks, Dolly and Matt have their first private conversation.

Matt returns home from a night out with Dolly with some odd news. On their way through the village they pass The Woolpack and notice all the lights on well past closing time. Henry suggests to Donald that Miss Venables could live in the Vicarage for a while after it is discovered that she has a leaky caravan, but Hinton flatly refuses. However, he suggests that he wouldn't mind helping out financially if she stayed at The Woolpack. He and Henry go to the pub to put the idea to Amos.

Dolly tells Matt that her mother is arriving that evening but the problem is where can she stay, the best thing, Dolly thinks is if she just tells her to go away again. Matt says no to that and calls Joe to ask him if Dolly and her mother can borrow Demdyke Row for a bit. Joe agrees and the arrangements are made. Matt then tries to ask Joe about engagement rings but Joe shoots off, fearing another favour. Meanwhile, Miss Venables is refusing to budge from her derelict caravan despite the good intentions of Henry who is trying his hardest to find her new accommodation.

Sam and Annie are in disagreement over Miss Venables. When Sam tells her not to be too hard on Miss Venables he is sharply informed that Emmerdale is not a hotel and that Miss Venables is a menace. In the Hotten cafe, Henry, Dolly and Matt are having tea. Dolly doesn't look too happy but Henry is fine. Dolly says she might well go home now but Matt can't get out of her what's wrong. Henry and Dolly return to The Woolpack to find Amos snoozing in the back room. Amos immediately asks to see the engagement ring he thinks Dolly and Matt have just bought in Hotten which makes Dolly leave the room with a slur on Matt's character.

Henry arrives at the farm with a brand new caravan for Miss Venables and its not long before everybody is in agreement over what should happen. Miss Venables should leave, and as soon as possible, despite her determination to set up home at Emmerdale Farm. Matt explains to Annie why he hasn't bought an engagement ring for Dolly yet. He wants to use the family engagement ring but has been afraid to ask. Annie immediately offers it to him. Having been given the ring, Matt presents it to Dolly - in the cowshed! This is followed by a family celebration.

Beckindale is invaded by gypsies to the fury of some villagers. Meanwhile, Joe is annoyed at Glenda leaving the gate open but his rage soon turns to love. Also, Phyllis arrives in the village and tells Dolly that she won't allow her to make another mistake like Richard.

One of the gypsies causes controversy in the village, which Joe manages to put right. Meanwhile, Donald receives a phone call threatening the play school.

Jed breaks into Emmerdale Farm but is caught by Matt. Play school is interrupted when someone throws a brick through the window.

Joe really manages to put his foot in it with Glenda, whilst the villagers are thrilled to find the gypsies leaving.

Amos's journalism career is put into jeopardy after he receives a letter from Grant. Meanwhile, Phyllis asks Donald to look after Dolly's interests in the wedding.

Phyllis's decisions about the wedding get on Dolly's nerves; she only allows the wedding in Beckindale when she is allowed to chose Dolly's wedding dress - yellow.

Mr. Tyler arrives with bad news for Amos, whilst Annie talks to Phyllis about the wedding dress.

Amos is shocked to discover Grant is a conman, and Glenda tries to help him get his job back at the courier.

Joe makes clear of his disapproval of Ruth removing the copse, and Ruth tells Annie that she doesn't want to be bullied by local farmers like her brother was. Amos asks Phyllis to the ball but is shocked when he realises he doesn't have the tickets.

Phyllis leaves the village now on good terms with Dolly, whilst Donald awaits the arrival of his son Clive.

In a field somewhere near the village, a young man wakes up. He climbs out of his car, looks around, then gets back in again and prepares to drive off. Later on in the day the young man turns up at the Vicarage, finds no one at home and starts to bring his luggage in...

Clive announces his intentions to go mining in Beckindale, whilst Joe buries the hatchet with Ruth by taking her out for dinner.

Nellie is infuriated by Donald's comments whilst Donald gets a second visitor, Clive's associate Rod.

Clive, Rod and Ian's attempt at mining goes terribly wrong when the electrics cause an explosion.

Clive and Ian are rescued and Rod is left in a coma following the incident. However, Ian discovers the mine was emptied years ago, and Clive leaves the village unexpectedly.

Clive returns and Annie tries to reconcile him with Donald, but to no avail as Clive does a moonlight flit.

Donald announces Sam as the new organising secretary, but causes controversy in his first five minutes when he plans to scrap their upcoming trip.

Matt and Joe are relieved to find their cows aren't infected by a plague, whilst Sam and Nellie become romantically closer.

The Sugdens discover that the milk board have found brucellosis in their milk. Meanwhile, Sam and Nellie get closer.

Sam believes he has caught brucellosis from the cows. Also, Sam tells Henry that he'd only move in with Nellie if they marry.

Matt and Dolly discuss Matt potentially selling his share, whilst Nellie comforts Sam when the trip goes wrong.

The Sugdens are relieved to discover that no disease was found in the herd. Meanwhile, Nellie admits she's too old for love, throwing Sam's proposal plans out the window.

The Coulters cause a disruption outside the church when the parents disallow Pip from attending. Meanwhile, Steve takes an interest in Joe's shotgun..

Pip refuses to return home and runs away, leaving Donald to break the news to the family. Meanwhile, Sam causes fishing plans to end abruptly when he puts his foot in the pond.

Steve breaks into 3 Demdyke Row and steals Joe's shotgun. Meanwhile, Will reveals that Steve and the missing Pip want to marry and believe she has eloped.

Steve and Pip perform an armed robbery at The Woolpack and lock Henry and Amos in the cellar, leaving them in there for the night. Joe finds them hours later and calls the police as Steve and Pip plan to abscond.

Ted arrives at the scene and immediately puts two and two together, figuring out that Steve has broken into 3 Demdyke Row and robbed The Woolpack with Pip. Steve takes Sam hostage and escapes when Annie gives him her car, with Ted in pursuit.

Donald tries to make Paul see that Pam is the reason Pip turned criminal and went on the run. Will believes the same and attacks Pam, hospitalising her.

Donald shows new headteacher Antony around the school and introduces him to caretaker Seth. Meanwhile, Phyllis sends Dolly a letter about the wedding arrangements and sends Jessie to go through them with Dolly.

Dolly and Jessie lock horns and Dolly declares that she's having nothing other than a white wedding. Meanwhile, on his first day of teaching, Antony and the school children find a skull.

Plans begin to get Dolly christened, while the villagers try to find out who the mysterious Hannah Elizabeth is. Also, Antony offers to teach Seth how to read.

Donald has found that Hannah Elizabeth Gough married Matthew Pearson in Robblesfield Church in 1800 - Seth notices that Matthew shares Sam's surname. Meanwhile, the villagers discover that the police have arrested Pip and Steve in Liverpool.

Jessie is fuming when Phyllis begins to claim that she can't afford the reception and decides to go have it out with her. Meanwhile, Sam learns something horrifying about his family's past and asks for it to be kept private.

Matt and Dolly return from viewing a house to find a surveyor in their top field, having been told it's owned by the Verneys.

The Sugdens try to claim the top field, and Henry hears that Gerald is in a financial fix. Meanwhile, Amos and Henry finally discover what Frankie is bidding on.

Henry's solicitor informs him that they have a very good chance of being awarded the land if they go to court, but it's a costly procedure. Meanwhile, Amos and Henry are shocked to discover Frankie has been involved in a car accident.

The Sugdens are delivered a huge blow when Gerald proves that the top field was rented. Meanwhile, Donald is shocked to discover Clive has been arrested in Athens.
