What is The Larkins about?

The series is an adaptation of H. E. Bates's 1958 novel Darling Buds of May, which was turned into a television series in the 1990s.

We return to The Larkins for series 2, set in the summer of 1959.

Pop, Ma and their many children including Baby Oscar are preparing for another riotous school holidays.

Only Mariette is missing, zigzagging across Europe on her honeymoon with Charley.

Primrose is leaving school and planning a career as a journalist, and with Ma’s help she lands a job at The Mid Kent Times.

She’s also looking for love which comes in the handsome shape of Rev Candy, arriving in the parish much to the chagrin of gnarled old Vicar, who is determined to exploit his new housemate.
