1. The Path Of True Love
Marlene has become fed up with her husband’s inattention, and fears that their relationship is nearing its end. She seeks the help of a local marriage guidance counsellor, which proves so successful that she ends up throwing Boycie out, but the parting gives them both time to consider their lives.
2. Home Brew
While searching through some ancient scrolls and paperwork left behind by the old squire, Boycie discovers a medieval recipe for a traditional local liquor. With the help of his staff, he goes into full-scale production, attracting customers from far and wide, including two whom he had hoped he had seen the last of.
3. Calendar Boys
Bored with life on the farm, Marlene throws herself into charity work. As a by-product of her efforts, Boycie senses an opportunity to become Sir Aubrey. Marlene, with the help of their staff, tries to use her charity contacts to help her husband achieve his dream. Unfortunately, life is very rarely that simple, particularly where Boycie and Marlene are concerned.
4. Animal Instincts
Tyler wants to borrow money to buy new equipment for his band, Puddle of Agony. But Boycie, who was brought up in the school of hard knocks, refuses to cough up. Meanwhile the local vicinity is gripped by fear of Animal Freedom protestors.
5. Your Cheating Art
Marlene’s doting mum Dora visits to help put a smile back on her grandson’s face.
6. The Departed
Tyler is preparing for his first gig with his band, but he is worried he is going to ruin his credibility by turning up with mummy and daddy in tow. Meanwhile the staff spot a way to make a quick buck.
7. I Done It My Way
Boycie recalls the big issues in his life, with flashback memories of his South London life with Del Boy, Rodney and the rest of the gang.
8. One Man’s Junk
The Antiques Roadshow comes to Ludlow, and Marlene, already in the middle of a house makeover, sees an opportunity to have her old bric-a-brac valued by experts. She is not alone, as Elgin, Bryan, Jed and Mrs Cakeworthy have exactly the same idea. Surprisingly it is Boycie, with a little help from Tyler, who discovers the really valuable antique.
9. For Richer For Poorer
Marlene is planning a huge party to celebrate their Ruby wedding anniversary.

thought it would be released this xmas?????? Whats going on? Rock and chips was released instantly! I missed most of GGG series 4 am so annoyed there is no release date. What the BBC playing at.
I’ve just found on the wikipedia there is a release date for this on DVD 16th September 2013, your not the only one who’s waiting for this, I just hope it is the correct release date.
Hope this helps.
Can anybody tell me when this series is going to be released as boxset. Where is series 4? its ridiculous now, why has it not been released, i think its disgraceful and disrespectful to the late John sullivan.
Anybody any news of release date?? As i really want this series on dvd.
Any news on release date series 4 anybody? I really want this dvd as issed this series on televison
If Jim is reading please, please continue with Green green grass. I think this series has alot more to give and it can introduce some more OFAH characters also for one off specials. Imagine Trigger visiting, obviously what we all want is del and rodders to visit them.
i like my idea of Boycie starting his own B and B at the farm, think it would be hilarious. Has he would be a nightmare hostess, snobbish, checking up on guests, then a shock guest could arrive….. a loud explosion is heard, Boycie could say “That horrendous noise sounds familiar” and guess who it is Del Boy and rodders in the three wheeled van pulling up to the farm! CLASSIC all they way. Lovely jubby. Come on Jim you know it makes sense.
I agree, I would say bring Del, Rodney & Trigger (no one else) to the farm have Trigger saying something daft like “you live on a farm Boycie”? hahaha.
With the van have Boycie, Marlene, Tyler & the farm staff in the Kitchen then suddenly they here a noise Boycie & Marlene say “we’ve heard that noice before” Elgin We’ve never had that before up here”, Boycie “The last time I heard a noise like that was in Peckham” then he relises it’s the sound of the Trotter’s Van, then Del, Rodney & Trigger climb out the van.
Also it sounds a good idea Boycie owning a B & B, not trusting the guests paying for the rooms (we all know how tight he is with money), & making sure they don’t steel anything from the house.
I hope they do series 5 & when are they bringing out series 4 on DVD.
I have said before about the potential to maybe bring back the trotters perhaps visiting Boycies farm for dels wedding.
Or even i think what would also be a perhaps less risky and more easier episode would simply be to see just Del and Rodders being inviting to Boycies farm for xmas dinner. This would just be a one off xmas treat an hour special where Marlene could be seen making a mess of xmas diner and del and boycie catching up and del winding Boycie up about his new life and just celebrating xmas.
Nick Lyndhurst said there would be no more OFAH now, but surely David and Nick would consider a one off visit to Boycies farm via Green green grass. The viewing figures would be massive for this! John son writes cracking scripts so i know he could and would have some fantastic ideas. And technically it isn’t OFAH so its not as if there bringing back OFAH for a new series with a different writer, as this wouldn’t be right, as this is Johns creation And then green green grass could continue on its own with series 5.
I’m getting a bit sick of waiting for series 4, series 3 was released on dvd the same year when series 4 was first broadcasted in 2009, I mean look at ‘My Family’ series 10 came out on dvd about 2 weeks after it was first on tv, & series 11 was released on dvd before the last 2 episodes of series 11 were first on tv. so please bring the green green grass series 4 out, why is it taking so long?
i recently met john challis at a book siging and i asked him if it (series 4) was to be released, he said it should be towards the end of this year, some sort of rights have been settled after john sullivans death, so fingers crossed. here to hope. dan
Ive heard the same
Green Green Grass Series 4 is imminent
Thanks for the information, OFAH is a great show along with the green green grass & rock n chips. John Sullivan was a legend writing every single episode of all 3 comedy’s
YAY! And there’s me trawling for days on the internet and wondering what’s going on.
i know where is series 4 dvd? must be released this xmas surely? a complete boxset would be nice although hopefully there will be more future episodes continued by jim sullivan as John Challis and Sue would be keen for the series to continue im sure. Especially with series 5 scripts already half completed
i really would like 2 know when series 4 will b released as ma bf is a true fan of the show he has all the otha 3 but is now wantin series 4 any info would b grateful thank you
Series 4 is showing again each tuesday on uk gold with 2 episodes per week from 15th march 2011 if that helps anyone…ill record all the series and keepon my virgin box and ive just ordered 1-3 from amazon…so wish for series 5 to be re-instated and possibility from more peckham characters..brlliant programme and such a lovely setting..
they are not making a series 5,
i’m sure i have read somewhere that scripts were written for a fifth series.
John Sullivan had started on Scripts for Series 5, then the BBC Shelved the Series in their Axing Spree along with After You’ve Gone and Last Of The Summer Wine.
does any one know if or even when ‘the green green grass’ series 4 will be released on dvd.
I recently contacted the BBC DVD Enquiry and they said,
“We are sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately we have not acquired the DVD rights to release any further series of this programme so I am afraid we have no plans to release it.”
Hi how many times must i watch 1-3 b 4 they wear out? thank goodness there on dvd .
