A comedy about the lives, loves and loneliness of the regulars who frequent a small pub in Manchester. Each evening the regulars swap tales about their lives as we overhear the gems of wisdom that pass between them. All 12 episodes from series one and two of the BBC comedy, set in the environs of The Grape, an old-fashioned Manchester pub where the regulars spend most of their time. In series one, discarded fag ends are casusing the urinals to block up, tension mounts as the winner of the football sweepstake is announced, and Joan (Lorraine Cheshire) and Eddie (Mark Benton) celebrate their anniversary. In series two, forged banknotes start appearing in the pub, but who's responsible? While Duffy (Phil Mealey) faces up to single life, Ken (John Henshaw) the landlord begins to think about chucking the towel in, although he hasn't reckoned on the charms of Tanya (Susan Cookson) convincing him to keep the pub open.
