The story of the Flaxton Boys protagonists of Yorkshire Television's long-running and fondly remembered children's adventure series moves on to a third generation, as this series finds the two young friends encountering further mystery and peril in and around the fictional West Riding village of Carliston. It is now 1928. Jacklin Flaxton has been killed in the Great War, leaving his widow Jane to run Flaxton Hall. Arriving home from boarding school for the summer holidays, their son Jonathan, accompanied by his friend, William, learns that the vicar plans to convert the now-derelict Stilgoe Lodge into an orphanage. But while the boys are happy to help, a series of apparent hauntings forces several workmen to flee the Lodge in terror...
The Flaxton Boys' story concludes with the fourth series in the epic children's drama charting the adventures of four generations of a family at their imposing manor house in a fictional Yorkshire village. Seventeen years have passed the since the previous series. It is now August 1945, and Jonathan's son Matthew and Terry Nichols are the new Flaxton Boys. As World War Two comes to an end, the soldiers who were billeted at Flaxton Hall are preparing to leave. The evacuees, too, are on the move all, that is, except Terry, a boy who has no home to return to. He and Matthew are not immediately the best of friends, but with Benjamin's return from the Navy, a shared adventure is to bring them together.
The story of the Flaxton Boys continues, with this second series in the epic Yorkshire-set children's drama featuring four generations of young inhabitants from the fictional Flaxton Hall. Series one saw the Flaxton heir, Jonathan, and his friend Archie Weekes eventually outwit the avaricious Sir Peregrine Stilgoe in his quest for the hall's hidden treasure. Now, some forty years on, the Flaxton boys are Peter Weekes (played by Kes star Dai Bradley), son of Archie and Sarah Weekes, and David Stilgoe ward of Sir Tarquin Stilgoe, Sir Peregrine's son. Sir Peregrine has died in a coach accident, and Stilgoe Lodge has passed to Sir Tarquin, a man as ruthless as his father and equally an enemy of the Flaxtons. This new adventure sees the boys searching for the Flaxton heir, who mysteriously vanishes as a new threat to the family home emerges: the valuable seams of coal that lie below its foundations, and whose whereabouts are known only to Sir Tarquin...
