In season 1, Gervais’ local news reporter character Tony was mourning the death of his wife and trying to find strength in the face of suicidal thoughts.

Now, as well as grieving, Tony has to deal with the potential closure of his newspaper The Tambury Gazette.

At the same time, Tony continues building his friendship with fellow widow Anne, played by Penelope Wilton.
