About This Program ✦
Deadwood Forest is a programme presented in the format of an episode. It falls under the genre of a typical episode‑style broadcast, offering a self‑contained narrative that fits within the broader series. The piece is structured to follow distinct characters as they confront separate challenges within their respective environments. In this installment, two storylines run side by side. Jeremy finds himself fighting against swelling river waters as he tries to obtain the timber needed for a lumber project. At the same time, over at the Mother Lode, Neil decides to risk everything by digging a fresh entrance, hoping it will pay off. Jeremy’s effort centres on the urgent need to secure wood while the river continues to rise, turning the task into a race against nature. His determination to protect the lumber supply drives him to confront the flood‑prone conditions, highlighting the practical difficulties of working in a volatile landscape. Neil’s gamble at the Mother Lode involves committing resources to create a new passage, a move that could either open up new opportunities or result in a costly setback. His willingness to take this risk underscores the high stakes involved in the excavation, as the success of the new entrance remains uncertain.
