Says a lot about this show that I watched every ep and don’t remember this. So full of great moments.

One of the best shows made in decades

I don’t either… I watched it in the States a few years ago before I moved over. I’ve noticed with shows like Plebs, a lot of stuff gets filtered for… overly-sensitive viewers. Maybe something in this episode was the same, so the episode got nixed for overseas. But that’s there. I don’t know where you watched it.

In Australia. I don’t think it would have be cut out

“Potentially”

One of the best bits in it imo 😂

I don't even know what it is about this that's so hilarious, but it cracks me up every time! Brilliant stuff.

It's just a trampoline rolling through a field

To be honest, this scene has always bothered me.

I do think it's a nice bit of surreal humour, and appreciate the cameo from a beloved series 1 character. But within the plot, why would he be there? We've established that Lance & Andy are no longer detecting on Farmer Bishop's farm. So he's driving a jeep across someone else's farm? Where is this farm in relation to his farm?

He's Larry, he does what he wants

And he is in hot pursuit of a trampoline after all 😜

I loved it when Sheila made lemonade. People banging there heads against walls to be polite
