THIS Country returned for its third and final series last night.

The Cotswolds comedy – filmed around Northleach and Cirencester – saw lead characters Kerry and Kurtan trade insults and play frisbee.

Here’s what we learned.

Kerry’s got a job – after a disastrous business venture

Swindon Town supporter Kerry is working at the local tip after sinking £500 of cousin Kurtan’s cash into pillow stuffing business.

She says she bought a £500 Alpaca on Gumtree. “Of all the mistakes I've made in my life that was probably the largest,” she tells the camera.

Unfortunately, she’d borrowed the money from her best mate – and he wants the money back.

Swindon Advertiser:

She loves the tip

Kerry’s made a load of new workmates: Trigger, Kimbo and Griff.

Griff’s her favourite: “He's great at picking the stuff up and chucking it in the container. I'm great at telling him to pick the stuff up and chuck it in the container.”

And she’s got her eye on a bargain, fishing out a foot spa for Kurtan and a golf-themed clock for the vicar.

She says: “Why go Christmas shopping when the dump is my John Lewis?”

Slugs is dead

Character Michael Slugette has died. The actor who played him, Michael Sleggs, died in July 2019.

Kerry tells the camera: “The last words he ever said to us was: 'Do you guys fancy doing a zombie escape room in Swindon on Saturday?' But unfortunately he passed away on the Friday, didn't he."

But there’s a revelation

Slugs’ former girlfriend hand delivers a letter to Kurtan. In it the dead man comes clean.

He admits he and Kerry broke Kurtan’s bed on a lads holiday to Newquay in 2007. The curtain-haired blond always thought he had snapped the bed leg – resulting in him having to spend the rest of the summer working in a sausage factory to pay for the damage. But it turns out Kerry and Slugs had jumped on the bed.

Kurtan confronts Kerry about it, who admits lying about how the bed got broken: “I'm not proud of that but I had to, I had to throw them off the scent.”

Swindon Advertiser:

Kerry gets the sack…thanks to Kurtan

Kurtan calls his friend’s boss and tells him she’s been taking stuff from the tip. “I’m a very vindictive person,” he says.

Astonishingly, Kerry’s sanguine about it. She gets a call from her boss: “He’s concluded his investigation and his conclusion is he's sacking me, which is a shame.”

There’s a thought on friendship

Kurtan says at the end of the episode: “The thing I learnt about friendship is you gotta accept each other's flaws, no matter how toxic they may be.”
