In this first heat, four food producers with fledgling businesses come to test out their products on the locals in Malhamdale, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. They have two days in the shop to promote and sell their wares. This time it is makers of preserves, pickles and spreads battling it out for one place in the final. Sara makes apple and chilli jelly from her back garden in a west London street, using home-grown apples. But when she brings it to Yorkshire, will the locals like what they taste? Louise from Brighton has a much-loved family recipe for Filipino papaya pickle. Having given up her career as a lawyer, she hopes the Yorkshire customers can stand the heat and prove she has got a future in food. Couple Linzi and Jason from Dorset have lost ten stone between them, largely down to changing their diet and eating more protein in the shape of peanut butter. Now they make and sell their own, but will they be business savvy enough to make a success of it? Finally, retired florist Pam and her daughter Emily make runner bean chutney from homegrown veg from their garden in Herefordshire. However, whether they can make a virtue of their family-run business and charm the shoppers remains to be seen. Tom Kerridge meets members of the community as they try the unusual preserves. Meanwhile judges Alison Swan Parente and Nisha Katona visit the food producers at home to see how well their product is made, and decide how well they promote and sell their item to the Yorkshire locals in the shop. The winner is the fledgling business that is most viable and deserving of the title best up-and-coming artisan.

Gillian is a scientist from West Yorkshire, and is a goat's cheese purist. She makes unpasteurised goat's cheese from her own herd, putting 40 hours a week into her small-scale business alongside her day job. But with goat's cheese being an acquired taste, will the Malhamdale locals think it is worth it? Pedro lives in Oxfordshire and keeps his beloved goat Rosie in his back garden. With Rosie's help, he makes flavoured goat's cheese, but with such a small operation, does he have what it takes to become a viable business? Alongside her day job and running her B&B, Jo makes cheddar cheese in the Welsh countryside. She loves using milk from her local cows and is passionate about the cheesemaking process, but when it comes to selling in the shop, she must tone down the details and dial up the flavour if she's going to succeed. Finally, information governance adviser Julie from Hampshire makes a homemade smoked cheese after her daughter fell in love with the flavours. She does everything from a kitchen at home and hasn't sold commercially before, so whether she has what it takes remains to be seen. Tom Kerridge meets members of the community as they try the range of cheeses.

She's bringing two cocktail flavours to sell in the shop, but needs to be savvy with her marketing to attract customers.

However, with such a niche product, can he persuade enough of the Yorkshire locals to give his sauce a try and prove he's got a viable business? Spanish-born Beatriz makes and sells a taste from home with her 'paella in a bottle'.

Oil-rig worker Mark prepares and cures bacon from home in Aberdeenshire, with his own smoking shed at the bottom of the garden. But will his bacon flavoured with treacle, fennel and ale be too unusual for local tastes? Liz is a marketing consultant from Brighton, but in her spare time makes venison bresaola - an Italian cured meat. While it goes down well with customers, the high-end product could prove too niche.

They have two days in the shop to promote and sell their products. This time it is the turn of producers making baked goods who are fighting it out for one place in the final. Phoebe, a youth worker from London, makes free-from chocolate brownies. She took a long time perfecting the recipe and trying to recreate the perfect brownie without using gluten or dairy. However, whether customers think she has managed to do that remains to be seen. Bavarian-born Angelika now lives in Lancashire where she makes and sells pretzels. However, with pretzels making up a fraction of the bread market, she must be canny with her marketing to make a success of her venture.

It is the grand final, and all seven heat winners are up against each other to fight it out for the title best up and coming artisan. First they will supply the shop for a month, but this time they won't be there themselves to tempt customers to buy. How will they each fare against the established products on Chris's shelves? They then return for one last day at the shop, where they host a farmers' market for the locals. Tom Kerridge is on hand to see what the members of the community really think, including welcoming back some old faces - like Amos, the farmer.

Only one can become top of the shop and win.
