SYNOPSIS:

Townies have decided they want a lie in, so they鈥檙e building a new high-speed railway. Issue is, it鈥檚 going right through Barbara Honeybone鈥檚 house, and she 鈥榚nt having none of it. Barbara鈥檚 grandson Peter works for the townies and it鈥檚 his job to convince the village that having a two-tonne bullet hurtling through the cabbage patches will actually be for the best.

Then there鈥檚 Harry, Barbara鈥檚 younger grandson, he 鈥榚nt that bothered about trains, he鈥檚 only got eyes for Debbie Mahoney. But the only thing Barbara hates more than townies is the Mahoneys.

Welcome to Syresham, South Northamptonshire. It鈥檚 not quite the Cotswolds, not quite one of those posh villages Americans have in movies, but it does have Syresham鈥檚 Got Talent, the headline event of the village fair. There鈥檒l be songs, dancing, magic, drag, a bit of wrestling, and Kevin鈥檚 doing a meat raffle (vegetarian option: two tins of Strongbow).
