Fine Time Fontayne stars as pitman-turned-private eye Stephen J Blackburn in this whimsical detective series. When he’s made redundant from his job at a South Yorkshire pit, Stephen J Blackburn sets out to forge a new career as a private investigator. With his trainee assistant Tracey, he looks into a series of complicated cases ranging from plagiarism to missing persons. In Series 1, the duo are confronted with Hungarian exiles, a philandering husband, a long-lost brother, a purloined TV script and a time-share cash con.

University dropout and would-be novelist Johnny Street and his worker-of-the-world mate Arthur Lane are the odd-couple partners in a one-horse, two-man family building firm (slogan: ‘Up Your Street, Down Your Lane’). Together, they travel the Yorkshire suburbs in their white van, tackling tricky household repairs with their unique combination of art and craft.

In One Flat Summer, newly redundant clothing salesman Ken Warburton finds himself adrift and drawn into the serious world of gambling after a good win at Newmarket. He has big plans, but what of the cost at home? In the sequel, Sharing Fatman, Margaret disapproves of her husband Ken's gambling on horses and takes the reins to find an absorbing new hobby to fill their retirement. But she ends up throwing caution to the wind when they make a connection with Mr Fatman at the horse sales.
