For some people, a pilgrimage to Lourdes is an opportunity for prayer, contemplation and quiet self-reflection. But for Connor Fisher, a young, wheelchair-using scally, it’s just a chance to get his leg over! 

After lying his way onto the trip in order to pursue Rose, a woman he meets in the queue for a disability benefit reassessment, he proceeds to lead his fellow pilgrims astray. There’s Helen who is searching for that ever-elusive miracle; and then there’s Callum who speaks with a voice synthesiser and always has a witty put-down up his sleeve. 

But thanks to Connor’s influence, before long they end up doing pretty much everything Catholics hate!

A Nice Day For A… Scouse Wedding

It only seems like last year that Julie and Tim first met but now they are preparing for a wedding. It’s not their wedding though, it’s Ange and Carl who are finally tying the knot. They’ve got everything that they need to be together forever. Love, trust, honesty and a dress with those puffy sleeves like Charlene off Neighbours.

It’s the night before the wedding and the lads are out on the stag while Julie and Edna are giving Ange a proper pamper. The problems begin when the stag do comes home early bringing chaos in its wake in the form of a local gangster with a point to prove.

Gerry Linford is back with an epic sequel to last spring’s exploration of the impact of scouse culture on a wet behind the ears social anthropology student called Tim. A show that’s full of heart, with plenty of laughs and an 80s soundtrack to die for, you need to pull on your stone-washed jeans, comb out your mullet and get down to The Court.
