Count Arthur Strong

Arthur - ever the optimist - is always trying out new ideas and drawing Michael and the others into ever madder schemes. A visit to a Safari Park, an evening in a Haunted House, amnesiac detective work, strange religious organisations, gangsters, putting his old band back together and The Soupover, which is like a sleepover, but with much more soup.

Some of John the Watch's old criminal associates take an interest in Bulent's cafe.

A knock on the head results in Arthur joining the police force as a high-ranking detective. It's up to Michael and the gang from the cafe to bring him back to reality.

What begins as a sleepover turns into something slightly more sinister.

Arthur attempts to build bridges with a surprising figure from his past.

Arthur makes friends while in search of biscuits, and his life and luck change.

Michael finds himself with a whole new family on a birthday outing, but Arthur's money-saving schemes cause chaos.
