WELCOME BACK TO ROYSTON VASEY and the second series of this BAFTA Award winning comedy. The town is in the grip of a mysterious epidemic and everyone is at risk, including:

PAPA LAZAROU who swaggers like a pimp into town with his Pandemonium Carnival, and cries of "you're my wife now".

PAULINE Having lost her job as a Restart Officer, she finds work at the Burger Me Fast Food restaurant before embracing a more extreme approach to job-seeking with Mickey at her side.

HERR LIPP whose young charges are sure to be entertained by his pink pomphlet. And if they're confused by his English, he'll see them in private and use his German tongue.

TUBBS AND EDWARD They're too busy to notice the epidemic, what with having to trap strangers on the moors in the hope of finding a bride for David.

ALVIN AND SUNNY STEEL As proprietors of the Windermere B&B, they play host to some of Royston Vasey's most swinging visitors. The entertainment goes on til the tears roll down their faces.

VINNIE AND REENIE run the charity shop. But they won't sell anything to kiddies without a special mark. Or a bag.

HILARY BRISS His meat may have been quarantined, but he's still hosting fireside soirees for those customers who love his Special Stuff.
