Several months have passed since the end of the last series. Bea, now a farmer’s wife and mother, and land girl Joyce, are joined at Pasture Farm by new land girl Connie. As the women work hard on the land, serving their country, the drama follows them as they live out their lives in the shadow of war. Bea who is married to Billy has a six month old son, the result of being seduced and having a one night stand with an American G.I. Despite this Bea and Billy are happily married, but new arrivals in Hemlstead lead to cracks appearing in their marriage.
Connie, a feisty, opinionated young cockney who is prone to telling tall stories causes mayhem everywhere she goes. But after she meets Rev Henry Jameson – will she come good in the end? Lady Ellen Hoxley, the lady of the manor, widowed at the end of the last series, is coping well with her bereavement, as she never had a deep love for her husband Laurence, and is free of his secret. Ellen now has her sister Diana staying with her. The two women are very different and bicker continually – within the confines of ‘proper’ behaviour of course! The arrival of American businessman Jack Gillespie attracts attention from them both – leading to an upper class love triangle.
When Martin falls victim to a nasty accident, Esther is forced with a moral dilemma to save her son, whilst Sergeantt Tucker, arrested at the end of the last series for the murder of Lord Hoxley, is released as the case falls apart, but faces the stuggle of having to rebuild his life.
