Arthur Hoyle (GARY OLSEN), a good-natured though impetuous man approaching forty, is now a banned ex-professional Rugby League player of some distinction. Arthur runs a recession-hit painting and decorating business and has two passions in his life; one is his wife Doreen (JANE CLIFFORD-THORNTON), to whom he promises better times ahead, the other is Rugby League, though not necessarily in that order.
