Yorkshire, the 1980s
In the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside, Constable Nick’s roles are as varied as the preoccupations of his often eccentric villagers.
He finds himself called upon as detective to recover lost sheep; as crime prevention officer to guard giant gooseberries; as legal adviser in the Best Kept Village competition, and sympathetic social worker to those in distress.
Constable Nick is invaluable.
His many hilarious anecdotes include a brush with some bright yellow pigs and the account of the invitation to be best man at a wedding because he had to arrest the groom's new mother-in-law.
Curious, funny and poignant, this reveals something of the rich diversity of village life and how Constable Nick continues to realise his place within it.
Constable in the Dale is a heartwarming and good-natured tale of into the relationship between a copper and his community.
