North By Northamptonshire - Episode 2

Sheila Hancock heads a stunning cast including Mackenzie Crook, Penelope Wilton, Felicity Montagu and Kevin Eldon. This is a clever, funny and touching series about a small town in the middle of Northamptonshire as it prepares for a talent night. It is written by and also stars Katherine Jakeways. Rehearsals for the town talent night are well underway, with some of the worst acts ever seen on stage. Recently divorced Jan has a surprise visit from neighbour and ex-teacher Mary and finds they have more than an untidy hedge in commmon. Jan's ex, Frank, thinks his new love Angela may be eating too many peanuts. Esther knocks Jan to the floor in her self-defence class but wait - could this be Jonathan coming to Jan's rescue? And meanwhile supermarket manager Rod (Mackenzie Crook) gets trapped in an upturned shopping trolley. Narrator..... Sheila Hancock Rod..... Mackenzie Crook Mary..... Penelope Wilton Jan.....
