Episodes
Episode 1
Sal discovers an old planning application to convert the barn in the field behind her house and, despite the fact that it is officially too late to object, she enlists the help of the Guild in an effort to stop the development. She enjoys their full support, until Rosie discovers from the developer that the barn will be occupied by none other than Charles Dance. How could the Guild stand in the way of such an illustrious neighbour?
Having had her hours cut back at son James' surgery, Sal is running unofficial sessions in her house for those patients too elderly to make it into town, but the comings and goings of various old men arouse the suspicions of Jock, the developer, and Sal finds herself at odds with the community - and very much at odds with Jock.
Meanwhile, Tash and Spike remain a firm fixture at Sal's, despite her present of a van to go travelling in, and James causes concern and ridicule in equal measure by letting slip his ambitions to become a local MP.
Episode 2
Caroline is planning a dinner party for husband John and his friends from London. She has the brilliant idea of asking Rosie if she will help out in the kitchen, but Rosie gets the wrong idea and thinks she's invited as a guest. An attempt to put this misunderstanding right via the Vicar only ends up with him making the same mistake.
Caroline is forced to enlist Sal's help in case things get out of hand on the night. The dreaded evening turns even more excruciating when train trouble delays John and his guests interminably... Caroline must entertain her village 'guests' single-handedly, but these oddball characters end up helping her to confront an issue that's been troubling her for some time.
Meanwhile, Eileen is organising the biennial Guild Fashion Show, but Rosie goes missing with one of the outfits, as does the Vicar, along with the keys to the church - with the essential fashion show props inside. Kate Bales heads to the moor to hunt for him, and finds rather more than she bargained for...
Episode 3
Spike and Tash are finally ready to travel the world in their converted mobile library, but a confusion with the gears leads to a call-out for the emergency services, and Sal's house ends up looking like a war zone. Jock agrees to mend the damage, and the thawing of his previously frosty relationship with Sal continues, much to the amusement of Tip and the disgust of Tash.
All bets are off, though, when it is finally revealed that the barn is not being converted for Charles Dance at all - Jock just let Rosie jump to that conclusion to get the Guild off his back. This would be bad enough if Jock hadn't promised the Guild an appearance by Mr Dance as their next (and indeed, first) celebrity speaker.
As the entire village gathers to welcome their esteemed guest, Jock must act quickly to save the day - and what remains of his friendship with Sal.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
