Further details
Stephen and Andrew are on tour - a road trip to visit the pub's suppliers and spread the news of Laurie's death.
Andrew tries to help Stephen along the way with getting over his ex-wife, with clarifying a memory from their childhood and with the shocking revelations that his parents' marriage wasn't what he thought it was. Back home Ellen gets a little bit too hands on with the church's drug outreach programme and Cass starts selling her stuff to raise funds to go travelling.
Geoff has been left in charge of running the John Barleycorn and brings back a taste of the 1970's - smoking, cheese & pickle rolls and a collection for the lifeboat men.
