Series 2, Episode 1 - Nutcracker Suite / 8 Inches Uncut

With Barbara in prison after being framed by Camilla, Joyce struggles to keep control as gang boss.

Further details

With Barbara Du Prez in prison, Joyce must juggle her domestic existence with the responsibilities as leader of a vigilante gang keeping the streets of Stempington free from common crime. A situation that remains ever complicated given that husband Jeremy, chief of the local constabulary, is entertaining a conference of delegates visiting Stempington to discover why the crime rate is so low.

Maintaining the status quo is never easy for Joyce. She and Camilla will get into a 'bitchy' catfight in the toilets of the local theatre during a performance by a troupe of male Belarusian ballet dancers. The fight is interrupted when the dance troupe suddenly announce that they're making a bid for political asylum.

Joyce becomes suspicious of Camilla's motives when Camilla installs the asylum seekers in the greenhouses and sheds of a local garden centre. It doesn't take long to work out that Camilla's setting up a brothel of male escorts to entertain Stempington's wives. Joyce must squeeze in preparations for a home cooked meal for Jeremy's police delegation with plans for a commando attack to close down the garden centre sex operation. Joyce successfully manages to free the Belarusian dancers and then blows up the garden centre. An action that prompts a furious rage from Camilla who threatens revenge.

Meanwhile, Camilla manages to 'persuade' a member of Jeremy's police delegation Chevy, a bent cop from Miami, to join forces with her. Chevy introduces Camilla to the idea of building a super casino on Stempington Wetlands. This would take Camilla's crimes into the criminal super league!
