During a blisteringly hot summer a drought is declared in Dibley but soon afterwards Water Board officials arrive,announcing that the village is to be evacuated in order to make way for the site of a new reservoir. Geraldine leads the villagers in a mass protest,chaining themselves to the church, but it is Jim who saves the day,thanks to his 'endangered species'. Written by don @ minifie-1
