1 Homeless

8/14/15

Jimmy’s burnt down his house with a dropped fag and is secretly living in the bar at night. Jules turfs him out immediately and the others all know better than to let him stay with them. Jimmy decides to live rough in his old tent and the others take pity and set up a fund raising campaign to help him. Meanwhile, Conor is feeling oppressed by his mum and leaves home in a strop. Jimmy takes advantage and moves into Conor’s old room. Who will win this battle of wits and territory? Conor will of course.

2 Fitness

Bernie is livid when she discovers that Jimmy has falsified the team's fitness reports and they must all undergo a gruelling fitness regime or face closure. Young Conor takes it upon himself to whip these flabby alcoholics into shape, or die trying. He quickly finds out there are certain problems that science cannot solve, namely Jimmy, Bill and Bernie.

When Bill gets wind of this outrage he disappears into the hills. Now Jimmy will sacrifice everything to recover his oldest pal and right this terrible wrong. Meanwhile, Jules is trying to attract a classy group of older ladies to her gourmet night, but Jimmy and his slightly less classy squad are never far away - constantly undermining her chances of success.

Jules then gets wind of his secret at the Highland Man of The Year Awards. Jules has been losing punters due to her blunt approach to customer service.

About this show

Mountain Goats is a hugely energetic studio sitcom set around the antics of a ragtag group of Mountain Rescue volunteers. It celebrates the greatest part of Scotland, the Highlands, with proper kilt-wearing maniacs fighting disaster on a weekly basis against the stunning backdrop of the Glencoe hills. Brimming with life and filmed in the full beam colour of the countryside, Mountain Goats offers up ideal escapism to all those with a head for heights and a spirit of adventure. When our heroes aren't out rescuing people, or being rescued themselves, they spend their time in 'The Old Goat' pub - a place of great warmth and camaraderie, where people come in for a quick pint and never want to leave.
