Forty chapters, numbered continuously.
Not eight episodes, five times over. One continuous work, forty chapters deep — Series Four is chapters twenty-six to thirty-two, and Series Five ends at forty. Every single title is a gerund. There are no exceptions in forty chapters.

This platform is Chapter 41. Not a merchandising annexe to a television programme — a continuation of the same numbered work, in a different medium.
Every chapter, in order.
Click any of them. Each has its title decoded, its grammar operation identified, and its place in the run explained.
Series One — The year he tried to farm it himself.
Series Two — The year the council said no.
Series Three — The year he farmed the unfarmed.
Series Four — The year he bought a pub.
Series Five — The year it got serious.
Why the continuous numbering is the whole idea.
Peepshow Studio, who made the animated titles and chapter cards, name their own asset files like this: CF4_CH26_Pubbing. CF4_CH29_Endgaming. CF4_CH32_Landlording.
CF4 is Series Four. CH26 to CH32 are the chapter numbers — and they do not reset. Series Four contains chapters twenty-six to thirty-two. Series Five ends at forty.
That is not a filing convention. It is a statement that this is a single continuous work rather than a set of series, and it is the most transferable idea in the entire identity. A website that opens at Chapter 41 is claiming to be part of the same work. A website with a conventional navigation bar is claiming to be a gift shop.
