Undeterred by the anthrax scare, Jimmy throws his energies into ambitious expansion plans. A new general manager, Mike, is hired to realise these grand designs, but the money-making festive season slips away when the butchery's ordering system descends into chaos. Polish farm worker Tomas has trouble making himself understood. Porridge the prize-winning Essex saddleback boar returns in the most revolting fashion. And there is a murder in Guinea Pig Village.
