Farmer Desmond MacCarthy struggles to keep his 17th-century manor home afloat. Summer has arrived and at Wiveton Hall that means one thing - selling fruit.

Summer has arrived and at Wiveton Hall that means one thing - selling fruit. Over the next few months, several tonnes of strawberries and raspberries will need to be shifted. After a slow start to the season, the pressure is on Desmond and his Eastern European farmhands to deliver.

Summer is also the time to start thinking about the shooting season, one of Desmond's greatest passions. A new gamekeeper has been brought in to protect the pheasants on the farm. Can he meet Desmond's expectations?

And on the home front, Desmond's 19-year-old son and heir apparent Edmund is hoping to win a place at university, but he'll need top marks in his A-levels first.
