A Small Town Affair

A delicious recipe for domestic disaster!

Take one small town where everyone thinks they know everyone else's business.

Add three households: MP Mike Andrews, his wife Gill and two young children; Church of Scotland minister Tom Graham, his wife Ali, two teenage daughters and an afterthought; Sixty-something local businessman Jack Caldwell, and his childless wife Phyllis.

Mix in several large dollops of scandal, some secrets and a tragedy.

Turn up the heat and bring to the boil.

Season with one eccentric old lady - Minty Oliver - and serve with the tabloid press and a big helping of local gossip.
