Favorites? Dislikes?

This is the sort of topic that has probably been posted a hundred times.
Just wondering what episodes/scenes in ACGAS are your favorites? Or,
conversely, which do you dislike? I'm starting viewing the series again
for about the 20th time. For soime reason many viewings ago I took a violent
dislike to the "Dalbey" family storyline. Too soap-opera, maybe. Favorites?
certainly "Judgement Day"; Mrs Bond, Mrs Pumphrey--especially with Hodgekin,
who detested Tricki-Woo so much.....

One of my favorite scenes is in "Breath Of Life" (S01E13) when James is filing the old horses teeth and has the conversation with John Skipton and the old man explains how the horses have been "retired" for the last 12 years, how he walks 4 miles a to visit them "Every day God sends", and how "They were two slaves when I were a slave myself." I just found that a very touching scene and so out of character for a Dales farmer.
