Recorded on 2 June 2025 — so buckle up, more may have happened since.</p><p>They discuss: why Andrew saw this succession story coming two decades ago; whether Adam is a principled farmer or a series of spectacular failures; what it was like to record the extraordinary four-person partnership meeting episode; Brian's King Lear qualities; the bombshell \"you are not my children\" moment; how much Adam really wants this for Xander; and whether Ian's advice has made things better or worse.</p><p>Plus — Adam's ideal biscuit.
