Will the model village remain at the centre of Robin and Wendy''s world? Or will life, and their friends, get in the way?Also included is a special episode, ''Robin and Wendy''s Wet Edinburgh Weekend'', in which the couple travel to the Festival, Robin endeavours to score tickets to the Tattoo, and Wendy finds herself performing at the Fringe...Written by Kay Stonham and Simon Greenall, this gently surreal series stars Simon Greenall and Brian Capron as Robin, Kay Stonham as Wendy, Phil Cornwell and Martin Trenaman as Derek and Debra Stephenson and Amelia Bullmore as Maureen.
