The Animals of Farthing Wood S01E11 A Deathly Calm
The animals find themselves in a large field filled with vegetables. The grass-eating animals are overjoyed with the abundance of food until Fox senses something wrong. He is wary of an unusual smell and the absence of any natural wild-life. Owl discovers the reason for it: poisonous chemicals that the farmer is even concealing from other humans. After the animals enter an orchard as dusk falls, Fox, Vixen, Owl and Whistler head to a nearby town for food. Whistlers brings back some Sausages for the meat-eaters and Owl brings back some Lettuce for the grass-eaters. Fox and Vixen disturb 2 dogs and are chased. They split up with both the dogs following Fox, who luckily loses them crossing some railway tracks. Vixen returns to the others alone. Badger decides to set off again, leading the animals into a field that has yet to be sprayed, though Badger still decides that it is safer not to eat anything. When Fox makes it back, a tractor spraying a liquid substance is heading for the animals. Fox has the animals run back to the orchard, where the farmer will not be spraying again. However Mr Rabbit trips and is coated in the substance. As he panics about his imminent death, Fox tells the animals that the poison is only harmful to insects like caterpillars and butterflies at low levels. Fox then comes up with a new plan to escape the fields: rather than head to White Deer Park across the farms around the town, he decides to lead the animals through the town itself.
