Further details
It's September in Flamford, which can only mean one thing: the Flamford Christmas Market is in full flow. Jeff persuades his recalcitrant London nephew Andy to join him in a gift-shopping expedition. Along the way they encounter Pam, pokerwork sign-maker and fire hazard; loud, lovelorn and now jobless Town Crier, Peter Humfriss and The Ghost of Christmas-Who-Gives-A-Stuff - chiselling pensioner Mr Truepenn. Christmas, even though it's September, is also a time for mysteries, one of which sees Jeff and Andy pitted against the enigmatic Applegarth twins.
