They meet by chance at a funeral and, following the wake, catch up and tell tales about some of their former mates and introduce us to new characters such as Kipper who gets his name from flapping about and never adhering to his catch cry of 'Don't panic'. They run into Billy, a pilot, who lived to tell the tale after more than one aircraft accident.They reflect on the town's and their own fortunes before, with reluctance and one last yarn, going their own ways. Finally, will Sean find happiness with Pru once again?This is the continuing story of friends who came together at another point in time in a market town in the north of England.
