There was also Dolly's secret son, first mentioned in 1977 and not seen until almost ten years later, the motorbike accident in 1979 and the Tom Merrick ordeal in 1981 (torching a barn to frame Jack, and beating Pat). A big part of my interest in Emmerdale Farm currently surrounds Richard Handford's reign as producer between 1983 and 1985 (1986 wasn't the best). I've seen three episodes from December 1983 and found them very enjoyable. There was the drama - Mowlam mistreating his dog and getting into rows with Matt about it, and there was the comedy - Amos trying to run the Christmas show and accidentally cutting the power during the concert.
