Small Trough Murder
A hay-bale desk in front of a barn and two pickup trucks who disagree about most things. Round the back there's a knackered combine harvester that one of them swears can see the future, and a leaderboard on a fence post that says how often it has.
Each week the desk goes through what happened on the farm and argues about who's lying. Then James goes out the back to the Combine, and Jimmie says what he always says, which is that it's a muck spreader.
Every episode, in four parts
Recap
What happened on the farm this week, with the Scarecrow's own lines where they were too good to leave out.
React
The desk argues about it. Jimmie has pulled most of these tractors out of a ditch at some point. James has a clipboard.
Combine says
James turns the handle. The stamp goes up and the predicted scenes play out, as tractors.
Leaderboard
Last week's stamps get a HIT or a MISS next to them, and the fence post board is updated, misses and all.
From the desk
The desk
Jimmie Winchman and James Pietragrille go back over the first two episodes from the hay-bale desk, and disagree about most of it.
The Combine
James goes out the back, turns the handle on the Combine, and reads out what it reckons happens at the next Round Bale.
