The villagers must confront their feelings on racial diversity as a young black family compete against a Yorkshireman, his girlfriend and her three teenagers.

Simone and Phillip, both 35, have three young children, sons Lewis (7), Joel (4) and Elliot (3). They currently live in Epsom Downs and felt the move to Grassington was too good an opportunity to miss. However, as a young black family they are conscious that they will be very conspicuous in the largely white, middle class village of Grassington.

After introducing themselves in the local pub, Simone and Phillip decide to go door to door to meet as many people as possible. Phillip is keen to put his aspirations to be an MP to good use and sets up a 'surgery' to help locals with any issues.

Partners Nicky and Steve, aged 48 and 49, are keen to escape Birmingham - the 'grey faceless city' that is currently their home - and move to Grassington with Nicky's three children Harvey (17), Otis (14) and Matilda (12).

Yorkshireman Steve, a strapping carpenter and builder, is quickly welcomed to the village, especially by the ladies. As Steve demonstrates his handyman skills, Nicky takes more of a behind-the-scenes role and plans a drinks party. But her teenage sons fail to deliver the invites and head off to the chippy instead. As party time arrives it becomes apparent no one from the village is coming.

Undeterred by some frosty responses to the arrival of their family, Simone and Phillip press on proving their worth as engaging potential neighbours. The pair set about organising a variety night in the local town hall with acts of all ages from the village. The variety night is a roaring success, showcasing local talent as well as Phillip's rendition of My Way.

Have Phillip and Simone done enough to impress the village and guarantee votes, or can Steve's Yorkshire charm help carry his family through to the next round?
