Plot
When the Goodies go out to dinner, they are disgusted with the fact that none of the food is fresh. So they decide to visit Tim's Uncle Tom to have good fresh country food.
However, Uncle Tom has never seen his livestock — he runs an electronic system which automatically feeds all of the animals. When Graeme asks him: "Are all your hens battery hens?", Uncle Tom replies: "No. Some of them run off the mains.".
When the Goodies protest at the treatment of animals at the farm, Uncle Tom gets them to work for him.
Finally, Uncle Tom is able to see his animals and he realises that they are living beings — and the Goodies then strike up with even more problems as a result of this.
