Scenes from A Re-Imagined Village...

Mrs Dorchester tidies up the flowers on her husband's grave.

Mrs Dorchester's son Nigel downloads Abby Winters' masturbation videos to watch with his bi-sexual wife Fiona when she gets in from work.

Mrs Dorchester's grandson Neil relieves boredom of school holidays by shooting rabbits with his air rifle.

Mrs Dorchester's lover Harry is playing darts in the pub with his mate Billy, with whom Mrs Dorchester is also involved.

Billy's wife Mary lights a fag in back of the village shop and can't help but admire the elaborately obscene graffiti tag which wasn't there yesterday.

Mary's sister Janice is coming to the end of her daily two-hour housework routine.

Janice's husband Tom is out on his rounds, chuckling as he watches Mrs Dorchester's grandson through his binoculars.

Tom's mother Betty is wailing for a nurse.

Harry's wife Annie smiles pitifully at Mrs Dorchester as she passes her by in the cemetery.

Later, Annie places a single red rose on Mr Dorchester's grave.

Later still, Nigel receives a phone-call from Fiona and goes down the pub where he buys himself a pint and sits out by the canal watching as swans swim midst the weeping willows.

Later still, Neil goes down to the pub with a bag of rabbits for Billy and Mary. Billy slips him a fiver. Neil slinks off to watch Tom's daughter Kylie practising Fluffy Morris in the village hall.

Later still, Neil and Kylie cover the back wall of the village hall in the obscene graffiti images that cause a bit of a stir the following morning.

8.00am - Mrs Dorchester wonders who keeps leaving the single red rose on her husband's grave.

8.30am - Fiona tends to the needs of Tom's mother Betty in the nursing home, smiling to think of the fun she had last night whilst looking forward to watching the Abby Winters' masturbation videos after her shift.

9.00am - Nigel descends in stair-lift, and pushes himself into the kitchen where he listens to a Bob and Carole Pegg CD whilst making breakfast.

9.10am - He is joined by Neil and Kylie who, although a Fluffy Morris Dancer since the age of four, has never heard folk music before.

9.15am - Mary prepares the pastry whilst Billy skins and butchers the rabbits.

9.25am - Noel uploads mp3s of the Bob and Carole Pegg album onto Kylie's iPod.

11.43am - Harry pays a call on Mrs Dorchester.

12.10pm - Billy takes a rabbit pie round to Noel who is particular impressed by the decoration on the crust.

3.00pm - Kylie practices her dance moves whilst listening to Bob and Carole Pegg on her iPod.

3.02pm - Annie notices that the clock in the hall is five minutes fast.
