The Animals of Farthing Wood S01E03 Through Fire and Through Water
The animals awake in the army land several hours later to the sound of blasting cannons. The two baby rabbits become hysterical and are only just stopped from running back onto the road by the hissing Adder. Fortunately, after Weasel provokes a hive of wasps, the soldiers run away from the stinging insects, and the animals can move on.
The party eventually have a small break at a nearby marsh in order to drink and find food. At this point, the Newt family decide the journey is too challenging and resolve to stay at the marsh, after Toad tells them that they will do just as well here as at White Deer Park. The rest carry on, until one of the squirrels finds a live bullet. They accidentally throw it in a panic and it explodes, ruining Pheasant’s tail, which aggravates him greatly.
Subsequently, when a careless smoker drops his cigarette, a massive fire sweeps across the army land, which nearly kills the exhausted Toad and may well have killed the Newts. Mole is separated from the others while eating worms below ground and is found by firemen and placed in a jacket. The rest manage to escape the flames by swimming onto an island in the middle of a lake, whilst firemen bring an end to the flames. Mole escapes and is then spotted by Kestrel. She and Owl provide a distraction so Fox can retrieve Mole. It soon begins to rain and the animals start swimming to the other side of the lake, planning to reach safe farm land.
Presumed death of the Newts
