Reuben: Life in the Dales - Season 2

Reuben turns 21 and returns with new adventures, fixing tractors, unearthing surprises, and working with family in The Yorkshire Dales as he builds his machinery business.

Reuben takes on a new apprentice - his 18-year-old brother Miles. Together they excavate a giant pond for friend and farmer Adam. But when heavy rain fall turns the sodden clay ground into a bog, it's not long before the young apprentice gets a digger stuck axel deep and Tommy is called on to help save the day.

With winter approaching, it's time for Reuben and his crew to learn new skills to use in the colder season. The most pot-holed lane on the Owen's family farm is in urgent need of repair. However, as Reuben's team have never tarmacked before, it becomes a family challenge with mum Amanda, dad Clive and brothers Miles and Sid all joining in to help.

Reuben and Tommy are tasked with delivering a giant tree to their local market town for Christmas, but the pressure is on to get it there in time for the light switch on. During the holiday season, as Reuben's rusty vintage tractors need repairing, Sidney shows he's a dab hand at welding in the workshop. The whole team celebrate the year just gone and toast the year ahead.

Reuben sets about renovating a 200-year-old tumble-down cottage to sell on. With a gap in digging work, he and work mate Sonny set about clearing out the old property. During the excavations they discover an old well which little brother Sidney helps them investigate. Reuben also helps new girlfriend Jess round up her flock at her family farm.

Reuben and Jess salvage stone from a quarry using huge machinery. With winter ending, they're eager to turn rubble into cash, but first must fix a stubborn loading shovel. Tommy enlists the team - and a helicopter - to help repair a 3km stretch of the coast-to-coast trail high in the Yorkshire Dales. Back at the farm, the Owen family recall Miles' emergency helicopter rescue and reunite with the medics who saved his life. Reuben helps Jess herd some very determined sheep.

Reuben and his friends attempt a vintage tractor journey - from the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to the Whitby coast. Having loved restoring vintage tractors since he was a child, this trip will mark Reuben's 21st birthday and test the whole team's mechanical skills. Girlfriend Jess has organised balloons and a cake, which are transported under the engine of Tommy's tractor.

Spring arrives in the Dales and the season brings a flurry of activity. The first job to tackle is Reuben's huge order of cropped stones. As he and the team must hand finish a hundred tons in the disused quarry, the crew visit a family run stone merchants in search of tips and learn from the professionals. Girlfriend Jess faces her busiest time of year as lambing season erupts on her family's farm.
