Summary

From the back of the DVD:

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of England's first rural-based soap opera and one of the nation's most popular programmes, Network is proud to present the story of how it all began with the first 26 episodes of Emmerdale Farm in one set. What originally began as a mid-week, afternoon television show became so popular that it was rescheduled for the peak-time, mid-evening slot that it has enjoyed ever since.

It's a sad morning in Beckindale, as the Sugden and Skilbeck families gather to attend the funeral of Jacob Sugden, owner of Emmerdale Farm. Jack Sugden, who returns home after eight years, watches the funeral cortege pass from the window of The Woolpack. It's not long before the prodigal son starts to make waves in the parish of Beckindale...
