Constable Nick has his sights set on a promotion.

But what if that means leaving his happy moorland home behind?

As Nick ponders this dilemma, village life continues apace. What with kids skipping school and calamity at the river’s edge — when clueless twin artists Prudence and Priscilla drive their car into the water — there’s never a dull moment on the Aidensfield beat.

Whenever there’s a Greengrass-related riot to be quelled or a stubborn Pyrenean Mountain dog to be cajoled, the villagers will always turn to Constable Nick to put things right.

How will they get by without their dependable local bobby?
