Comprising a single feature-length pilot, 'The Shillingbury Blowers ', starring Trevor Howard, and six one-hour episodes, the series deals with life in an idealised English village and stars Robin Nedwell, Diane Keen, Nigel Lambert, Jack Douglas, John Le Mesurier, and Bernard Cribbins.

The show ended when ATV lost its franchise licence to broadcast, and its replacement Central declined to continue production of the series.

A meeting of the village council, headed by John Le Mesurier, looks at the financial position of the band and debates the poor quality of the playing.

Peter helps Jake (Jack Douglas), the lead cornet, deliver a calf on his farm and a new bond of trust is formed.

[2][additional citation(s) needed] The show this time was about Bernard Cribbins's eponymous character but didn't feature Robin Nedwell or Diane Keen.
