Nearest and Dearest

Colne's finest pickle factory, Pledge's Purer Pickles, falls into the hands of Nellie and Eli Pledge after the death of their father, Joshua. Neither of the previously estranged siblings are that keen on taking on the business but they are forced into partnership by their father's bequest of ÂŁ20,000 cash, should they keep the factory - and family home - running for at least 5 years.
