Deborah Dearden arrives back at the beach. Not such a stranger, yet stranger still.

Deborah Dearden arrives back at the beach. Not such a stranger, yet stranger still. Stars Stephen Mangan. From January 2013.

Who hasn't thought about running away from it all at some time or other? Throwing caution to the wind, wrenching oneself out of a long established orbit to head for the deep space of the unknown?

In series two of Shedtown, our wooden icon of escape and isolation - the shed - continues to be a symbol of possibility and change. Our Sheddists arrived and survived - and, now waking from a beach-baked slumber, the familiar residents find faces old and new on the sand.
