- Synopsis
Scripted by Dave Sheasby, these three cracking comedy dramas bring the world of horse-racing alive, from the agony and ecstasy of risking it all on a likely-looking thoroughbred to the thrill of having a share in a potential equine superstar...
In One Flat Summer, newly redundant clothing salesman Ken Warburton finds himself adrift and lured by the temptations of serious gambling after an old acquaintance offers him a promising partnership.
Sequel Sharing Fatman sees Ken's wife Margaret taking the reins to find an absorbing new hobby that will steer Ken away from gambling and fill their retirement. Could owning a horse be the answer?
Also included is standalone play Apple Blossom Afternoon.
