Season 1

PC Michael Penrose, nicknamed to his embarrassment Rosie, returns to his native town, the resort of Ravensbay, when he learns that his exotic, pretentious mother Millie is dying. In fact it is a ruse to get him home where Millie and her sister Ida dominate Rosie and hen-pecked uncle Norman. Further woman pressure comes from girlfriend Gillian, anxious to get him to the altar. After a pointless visit from short-sighted informant Merv, Rosie goes to work and, along with slovenly colleague PC Wilmot, is called to a pub disturbance. Here they finally subdue an aggressive drunk after learning that he too is under woman pressure.
