Studio Three, Special Plug-In:Two

The drama is set behind the bar of a typical northern pub, the Landlord and Landlady are a husband and wife team constantly at each other's throats. We meet a kaleidoscope of regulars who all frequent their local. The bickering couple feud behind the bar whilst trying to keep everyone in high spirits.
