| The Incidental Accident | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:27:05 | |
An ordinary meeting of Lower Clumpthorpe Parish Council takes an unexpected turn when news breaks of a most unfortunate incident in the village. With conflicting accounts, a series of increasingly improbable events, and a certain amount of confusion over precisely what happened, Prudence is determined to establish the facts. But as Jean recounts the afternoon’s events, Derek offers his own considered observations, and Sophie begins to piece things together, it soon becomes clear that there may be more to this incident than meets the eye. Can the council uncover the truth? And can anyone handle the truth?

| The Village Sign | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:26:18 | |
When Upper Clumpthorpe unveils a rather impressive new village sign, parish council chairman Prudence Hawthorne is determined that Lower Clumpthorpe will not be outdone. Treasurer Derek Pritchard is concerned about the cost. Secretary Jean Wilmot has several ideas of her own. And professional sarcastic Sophie Calder suspects this has rather more to do with village rivalry than village pride. It’s all making newest member Alex Turner wonder whether volunteering was such a good idea..

Welcome to Lower Clumpthorpe. With its spired church, village green and duck pond, it's the quintessential small English village. It also has a village hall - home to the Lower Clumpthorpe Parish Council - the lowest level the UK's system of government. Except, no one has told the members of the Council - who see issues like the village sign and flagpole as matters of national proportion... If only they could agree on what to agree on.
