Episode 1148 (12th May 1987)

==Plot==
Jackie has spent the night in the police cells but has been released on bail. He is facing an assault charge. Matt sympathises, as it reminds him of his arrest and short time in jail a year earlier. Kathy Bates also faces a charge. Caroline reminds her she has a job to hang on to. Jock jokes to Jackie about pleading insanity to his charge. A convoy of workmen is making its way up to Pencross Fell, unaware of what the villagers have in store. Jackie stands near a bridge watching the protest. Jock drops some hay on the road to block the builders. They win this protest and go to The Woolpack for a celebratory drink.
