The Green Green Grass - Series 1-4

When Peckham’s finest second-hand car trader, Boycie, learns that the dreaded Driscoll Brothers have ‘Somehow’ got it into their heads that he grassed them up to the police, he has little choice but to go on the run. Fancying himself in the role of country squire, he drags long suffering wife, Marlene, and teenage son, Tyler, to the wilds of Shropshire and their new home,Winterdown Farm.;But any notion of their new life being all country fairs and fox hunts quickly evaporates when they realise that they have also taken on the local yokels that are the farm’s staff: Elgin “farm manager” Sparrowhawk, unlucky- in-love herdsman, Bryan, simple minded crops man, Jed, and housekeeper and village gossip, Mrs Cakeworthy. On top of this things get off to a less than perfect start with their new neighbour, patriotic Welshman, Llewellyn. Will Boycie ever fit in with the landed gentry? Will Marlene ever get used to the ‘unnaturally’ quiet country nights? Will the Driscoll Brothers ever catch up with them? And will Mrs Cakeworthy ever actually do any housework?
