Channel 5’s Reuben Owen: Life in The Dales trudges back into the hills with all the muck, machinery, and rural mayhem viewers have come to expect. Airing Tuesday at 8:00 PM, the new episode finds Reuben tackling everything from potholed lanes to temperamental tractors—with mixed results.
This week, Reuben and his makeshift crew—Amanda, Clive, Miles, and Sid—try their hand at road repair, with the goal of smoothing out a particularly rough patch on the family farm. Meanwhile, Capper manages to get the farm’s new 26-tonne loading shovel thoroughly stuck in a neighbor’s field, prompting a rescue mission involving a vintage winch and tractor. And on a slightly less muddy note, new hire Sonny gets a crash course in stonemasonry, braving the cold to craft Dales stone bricks for his parents’ farmhouse.
The series continues to find the sweet spot between heartwarming family moments and the hard graft of running a working farm—all set against the postcard-pretty backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales.
Reuben Owen: Life in The Dales airs Tuesday at 8:00 PM on Channel 5.
