Pop accepts a lucrative offer that he can't refuse. New neighbours the Jerebohms host a hilariously dire dinner party - will they become friends or foes of the Larkins? Adventures and romance blossom for Primrose.

Series 2 overview

Pop, Ma and their many children including Baby Oscar are preparing for another riotous school holidays. Only Mariette is missing, zigzagging across Europe on her honeymoon with Charley.

Primrose is leaving school and planning a career as a journalist. With Ma's help she lands a job at The Mid Kent Times. She's also looking for love which comes in the handsome shape of Rev Candy, arriving in the parish much to the chagrin of gnarled old Vicar who is determined to exploit his new housemate.

The other newcomers are Pinkie Jerebohm, her waspish husband and their two dreadful children. They are determined to buy crumbling mansion Bluff Court from Pop Larkin but then regret paying such a high price. When Pop won't give them a refund the Jerebohms vow revenge... First by taking up shooting, increasingly loudly and then, with the help of Alec Norman, by entrapping Pop.

Other highlights of the series are several tumultuous gatherings of our village regulars including Pop-fanatic Miss Pilchester and local VIP Johnny Delamere. They include a barbecue, wheelbarrow race, funfair, and a mass christening in a swimming pool - all held on the Larkins' sunkissed Kent farm. Then the return from their honeymoon

Episode 1: Bad Neighbours

Pop Larkin hustles himself an offer he can't refuse from Pinkie and Mr Jerebohm for the huge crumbling mansion next door. It's a lucrative deal and there's enough profit to start building a swimming pool. Ma and Pop struggle to warm to their new neighbours after a hilariously dire dinner party at the big house. And despite the Larkins' typically upbeat efforts, it goes downhill from there, as the Jerebohms reach for their guns, are humiliated by Pop, and declare war.

Primrose is about to leave school and is set on a career as a journalist. She's also falling in love with the Rev Candy, newly arrived and locking horns with the tricky old Vicar. Primrose fearlessly asks the heavenly Reverend out and is shocked when he turns her down, but she's not giving up.
