Portwenn is buzzing with arrangements for the wedding of the Doc and Louisa, with the villagers hopeful that the couple will finally tie the knot.

Martin and Louisa host a disastrous dinner party, the new nanny walks out, and Penhale is on a charm offensive to win friends.

The violence of Wilkin Brattle's past finds him and forces him to pick up the bloodiest sword of all.

Ruth has a mystery admirer who unnerves her; Louisa is Bert's least favourite person when one of her pupils writes a damning review of his restaurant in the school magazine.

When Martin is talked into taking baby James to playgroup, he is forced to sing along with the other mums, and Al helps Ruth move into a cottage in the village where she meets her new neighbour, a grumpy old man called Moysey.

Mrs Tishell returns to the village, Martin has to work out what is wrong with beachcomber Lorna, Al and Morwenna have an internet dating disaster, and romance is blossoming for Bert and Jennifer.
