In order.
Solo-ing
Kaleb leaves to tour a one-man show. Harriet Cowan arrives to cover. The farm continues, differently.
Read the chapterPubbing
A fifteenth-century barn on five acres near Burford, bought for a reported less than a million pounds. It opened on 23 August 2024 to hundreds of people queuing.
Read the chapterCottaging
A useful demonstration of why the naming grammar needs dialling down for a commerce platform serving families and schools. The wit here comes from the collision, not from precision.
Read the chapterSplurging
Money going out rather than coming in, which is the more common direction on this farm.
Read the chapterLandlording
The Series Four finale, and the word we have borrowed for the £40-a-month tier because it is aspirational in exactly the right slightly-uncomfortable way.
Read the chapterThe grammar used in this series.
| Chapter | Title | Operation | The wordplay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | Solo-ing | G3 | A hyphen forces the reading. Without it the word does not work. |
| 26 | Pubbing | G1 | A pub, verbed. Now also the name of a whole section of this website. |
| 27 | Crawling | G6 | A pub crawl, and crawling. |
| 28 | Cottaging | G6 | The most knowingly near-the-knuckle title in the run. |
| 29 | Endgaming | G1 | An endgame, verbed. |
| 30 | Splurging | G6 | Spending, bluntly. |
| 31 | Hurrying | G1 | Straight, and urgent. |
| 32 | Landlording | G1 | A landlord, verbed. Reused on this site as the top membership tier. |

What people actually ask.
The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.
A named editor owns the ledger. The generator proposes, a person approves, and anything in the cheekiest register needs a second approver before it ships.
No. This is an unofficial demonstration build. The programme itself lives on Prime Video and the rights sit with Amazon and the production companies.
