Inspector Crossley from Whitby arrives at the
police house to see Nick, but is angry to find the police house being used
as a doctor’s surgery by Kate. Crossley then goes to Ashfordly station
where he's been expected expressing his annoyance about the situation.
Blaketon and Nick both assure him however it's just a temporarily
situation until Kate can find a new surgery. Crossley also informs
Blaketon of some major changes in the Ashfordly area, which will include a
far bigger beat for Nick. Kate in the meantime goes out with her old
friend Sally, who's also a GP for a drink and a general chat. Sally tells
Kate of a job that's going in Whitby, but Kate isn't interested. Sally
then puts Kate's name forward to a Dr. James Radcliffe who owns his own
practice in Whitby. Radcliffe writes to Kate offering her a job with his
practice and Kate is then tempted to take him up on his offer, but Nick
however is reluctant to leave Aidensfield. A coach trip meanwhile is
organised to hear Gina sing at a club in Whitby and so a day trip is made
of it and a good time is had by all. Claude with Alfred's help gets lucky
on the fruit machines at the amusement arcade, while Phil gets into a spot
of bother with the owner! Nick and Kate find themselves helping a
young girl on the beach who can't find her father. Nick however then spots
a man in trouble in the sea and calls the lifeboat out, but it’s to late
and the man, who turns out to be the girls father - drowns. Claude also
gets into trouble when the Inland Revenue finally catch up with him,
demanding a huge amount of cash that he owes due to his many years of tax
evading! And Blaketon takes Graham out for a day in an attempt to
get closer to him.
