And how's everything been here? Brian tells me I'm obsolete. / Obsolete? Really? / I've managed fine, haven't I, Adam? / Uh, well ... / Come on. Be honest.

It's amazing. I mean, the video at the show was impressive enough, / Hhhh ... / Don't you think it's clever? / Well, it's clever, all right. The question is, does it do a good job? / she doesn't seem to mind. There you go, it's found the first t__. / what? That's cleaning and drying it? / Weren't you listening? / Well, I didn't take it all in, to be honest. / OK. So, there's a 3D camera __ __ __ that locates each of the t__s / I know. I meant the bovine Bill Gates. / D__? / Well, he talks so fast. / he's enthusiastic. / kind of him to show his parlor. / see? / next t__ already. / Yeah. ... Well, I have to say I'm surprised __ __ cows __ wondering by himself__. ... You know, soon there won't be any need for humans at all.

He's so much more relaxed now / locked / twice a day / go out / weekends / without having to rush back. __ __ able to do some decorating. Just to imagine that. / Yeah. ... But wouldn't you miss the routine? ... I'm serious. Don't you think you'd feel removed from the process? / Well, I'd feel less tired not having to / five every morning.

It's only a __, Jenny. __ not a space shuttle. / No. I know. I'm just pleased to see you've taken it so easily / there / it's pre-heating / finish / unpacking. I've got __ under control. / And you've de-frosted the pie? / Huh? / Otherwise it's going to need, uh, another half hour / I know. / So, um ... where is it? / I told you. Don't worry. / Right. But ... / It'll be ready. / Well, I can't see it. / Now, go on. / ... And what's that frying pan doing there? That's new, isn't it? / Ah, well, I don't think you quite realize, but this is an induction __. For it to work, the pans need to be ... / Magnetic. I know. Whish is why I bought a new set. / Oh. / They are in the cupboard. / Which cupboard? / This one. Here. / Why aren't they hanging up with the others? / Because there wasn't room. / anyway, I / old pans / Well, you could have told me. / Well, I assumed you had eyes. / Right. Well, you've got lots of frying pans now. I'm sure you'll make use of them / one idea / ready by seven, then? / Fine. / Actually, let's make that half-seven, uh, just to be on the safe side. / Huh.

So, what was your meeting about? / Oh. Uh ... just a video conference with Justin. We have one every Tuesday. Uh, but it'd been delayed. / you should have told me. If I had known you were running late / spoken / spoken to him on this / yeah / well, I'm here now. So ... / Yeah, yeah, let me show you. Uh ... I'm still learning my way around the new operating system. / Sure. / I love the touch screen / so sharp / put / both tractors? / Yeah / like / spray, s__, f__ / this'll talk to them / I think you wanna press there. / yeah, thanks. ... So, here you can __ the weather / here to view the cameras, it's got / automatic / __ and __ control. I can send live data straight through to the office, or Debby in H__. / Or me. / Yeah. Indeed. ... And / my favorite part is, everything links up so I can always see where the machinery is. / Yeah / work / exchange tasks ... / __, it's a good system. / as good as / big contractors / be using. Plus, it's / when / becomes available ... / yeah, yeah, I know, Adam. / ... So, is that all you wanted to see? / I was just curious. I think we are both worried Home Farm was lagging behind / yeah, well / 'cause, what really matters is how you perform / technology will only get __ so far. / This is what you wanted, though? / Oh, no no. I'm ... I'm glad to see you're modernizing. / I __ have a skilled team in place / barring any accidents, we / gonna do / good job for you, Charlie, / efficient.

Lovely. / I mean, the robots do break down, and __ take a whole day / to __ itself. / I know. I was there, David. / what about lameness__ ? I mean / cows / feet / so, we need to keep / on top of it. We'd do all right. / foot trimmer. / So? / So, it all adds to the costs. Even D__ admitted it was more expensive than they first thought. / But we'd be paying with the compensation money. ... I never claimed it was perfect. But their yield's gone up by 20%. / I know / cows / more often, and ... if the new road comes, and we do have to make a margin from a smaller herd ... / It would mean putting Eddie out of the job. / which is a shame / So, let's not pretend it's all wonderful. I mean / happen tomorrow. / No. I'm trying to find a solution. / Why are we rushing into a decision before we know who even need to? / we're not. But it's reassuring to know that, if the worst comes to the worst, it might not be the end of the world. ... __ __ __ impressed by the technology. You must have been, too. / ... I need to go and order the T-shirts. / T-shirts? / For the campaign. / I know, I know. ... But you're doing that now? / Time's pressing. / Fine. OK. ... But, David, you have to agree. At least it's a possibility. / ... Yeah, if the worst comes to the worst. Let's just try make sure it doesn't.

I'm sorry, Ian. Did you get my text? / Oh, yeah, yeah, I got it. / I just couldn't get away. / because / Charlie / send in the rota. / __, crispy __ __ sauce / I got back as soon as I could. / well / I'm starving. / I am sorry / that's fine, fine. Uh, do you want a beer? / Oh, yes, please. / You won't believe what Charlie said to me. / Huh? / He said technology isn't everything, __ after the way he used / whip to beat us with. I spent half the morning fitting these new terminals / that isn't good enough. / never mind. He's / under / a load of pressure / I suppose. / Now, have some dinner __ something __ __ about ... __ __ just been ages since we've been away on holiday. __ I'd like us to go away somewhere, maybe in November, when you're less busy. / If only. / Adam, / Charlie won't like that / So what? He's not your employer / take a week / take one / contract / thread / OK. But ... / huge chunk of my income, and not just mine. / Fine. / God knows what plans Charlie has for Debby. / All right. / just an idea. / it's really nice one, but / I know, I know. / even / spend together / I'm sorry. / stop apologizing. It's not your fault. / But I feel guilty. / Well, don't. __ it doesn't help anybody. ... Look, we've still got / couple of hours before / heating the hot tub, so, after you've finished eating, maybe / Oh, yeah, that sounds perfect. / Good. ... So, your mom's back from holiday then? / She is. / And what about Lilian? __ she __? / No. Why? / Lynda was asking / she / about / something to do / handy crafts / can you imagine?
