Wild West - Season 1

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. 

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

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.

A storm causes a power cut in the village and the only person with any electricity is Old Jake, who has his own generator and charges people to use his facilities though the generator gets overloaded and blows. PC Alan makes Angela the power cut tsar, putting her in charge of overseeing the crisis, an activity which she enjoys so that she is rather disappointed when the power returns.

Mary is given a body piercing kit but since there are no instructions with it the results are less than satisfactory and she sells it to Jeff. Angela meanwhile is troubled to see that her old headmistress Miss Peppard, who humiliated her in front of the whole school by making her do a cross country run in her undies, is in the village and Mary has to stop her from killing the old lady.

Holly decides that the village needs a revival of the Cornish language and brings along a guest speaker though nobody can understand what he is saying. Angela is mutually smitten by Martin, a handsome American on holiday - and their romance makes Mary very jealous.
