  THE VILLAGE SHOW Craddock Fitch is a relative newcomer to the village and is keen to make a splash by holding a village show - the best ever - in the grounds of his large house. As the weeks roll by, romances heat up, tempers flare and misunderstandings multiply...VILLAGE SECRETS A new head takes over the village school and the inhabitants of Turnham Malpas await her arrival with avid curiosity. At first sight, Kate Pascoe seems ideal - young, pretty and she obviously loves her job - but soon the villagers think differently. SCANDAL IN THE VILLAGE When Jimbo asks his mother, Katherine, to come and live near him, his kindness has rather more repercussions than he anticipated. In the end only Peter, the rector, can control her well-meaning, meddlesome ways.
