Wild West - Season 1 (2002)

Mary Trewednack and Angela Phillips run the ailing shop in the Cornish village of St Gweep. Mary is unhappy about the number of incomers who buy properties purely as a holiday home, including television actress Gilly. Led by young hippy Jake, Mary and a reluctant Angela break into Gilly's house, watch her DVDs and eat her chocolates but Mary starts a small fire and leaves Angela to face a police caution. Fisherman Old Jake discovers bags of Tupperware being washed ashore on the beach and the villagers all gather to get their share, including Mary, though dim policeman...

Following an outbreak of vandalism by local kids Mary recommends punitive action but Angela suggests positive activities, in the process discovering bungee jumping, which she is keen to try, especially as the instructor is young and handsome. Other villagers also sign up but Angela begins to have second thoughts and only agrees to go through with it if white witch Holly gives her a lucky charm - a very large stone which makes her jump rather more spectacular than the others'. Meanwhile Mary forces the kids to paint a mural - securing herself an arts council grant ...

Elderly boatman Jake disappears, causing panic in the village when his clothes are found on the beach and suicide is suspected though it turns out that he was having a sexy weekend with a lusty German lady client. Angela, meanwhile, is disgusted that landlord Jeff is running swingers' parties in the pub's upstairs room and when Mary gets herself invited to one Angela calls the police, who raid the pub. Mary has been hiding in a cupboard throughout, missing both the sex and the raid.
