Episode 4
It's the height of summer in Snowdonia and, for hill farmers, that means shearing time. It's an important job but also a chance for families and friends working and living Eryri to come together.
Near Ysbyty Ifan, Beca Glyn and her family load their trailer to head up to the mountain where they shear their flock. Helping out is Beca's cousin Meredur a super-star shearer who travels the world with his trade. Beca hasn't picked up a set of shears in a few years but she's determined to improve her skills.
Geraint Davies has hired in old friend Hywel, an old friend and specialist shearer to lend a hand. He's not the only helper though. Geraint's young daughters Kiti and Betsi are always keen to be involved, so are tasked with rolling up the fleeces. But, like most things in farming, there's a knack which the girls will have to master if they want to become pro-shearers.
For Guto Davies, shearing day on his farm is very much a family affair with three generations helping out today. Guto's father Gwyn will corral the sheep, his brother Robin leads the shear, and his four-year old son Math is getting stuck in too. In farming land, livestock and traditions are handed from one generation to the next, something Guto and his brother know well.
In the hills above Llanuwchllyn, Rhodri Jones has been busy shearing his flock too. With all the ewes and lambs done, the final job of the day is shearing the two pedigree Suffolk rams. But these are big animals with bad tempers, so Rhodri has his work cut out as he wrestles the rams.

But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts.
