Count Arthur Strong

Arthur, Michael and the café gang carry out a heist. Michael, suffering from writer's block, returns to the cafe to find that Count Arthur has written a novel. When the book turns out to be full of salacious gossip, drastic measures are required to retrieve it from Michael's agent.

Arthur takes a flying lesson. A broken heart and Arthur's inability to get his head around the concept of the clocks going back leads to a terrifying mix-up at 2000 feet.

Arthur goes into politics. Spurred on by sleepless nights and noise pollution on his street, Arthur decides to run for local elections. Aided by John the Watch, his head of security, health secretary Eggy and a reluctant Michael as head of communications, they become a political force that cannot be ignored.

A conman rues the day he tangled with Arthur. Conman Phil is doing well in the area as a so-called plumber, swindling the locals out of hundreds of pounds. Will Arthur be his next victim? Meanwhile Bulent tries to persuade the café gang that Arthur is not all that he seems.

When a documentary team start to do a profile of Michael, Arthur's new career as a living statue threatens to steal the show. Michael turns to drastic tactics to bring the attention back to himself.

In the aftermath of yet another 'trouser fire', Arthur moves in temporarily with Michael. But the stress of living in close quarters with Arthur leads Michael to gravitate towards another regular in the cafe, John The Watch.

Arthur gets a job as a television psychic and the resulting fame starts to go to his head. Meanwhile, Michael's health is suffering as a result of his rather unique reaction to a tempting job offer.
