Episode list

Set in Newark, the small working-class market town in the East Midlands, Newark, Newark follows pugnacious chip shop manager and exhausted matriarch, Maxine, as she tries to ride out her divorce and find someone who actually lights her fire. However, it's easier said than done with her big-mouthed, soft-bellied, son, Leslie, dramatically coming out as gay to the surprise of no one and her dullard ex-husband, Terry, trying ever more desperately to win her back.

Leslie has an eventful first day working at the chip shop, while Amber is making a good impression behind the bar of an upmarket pub. Claire and Rudy get to know each other.

Pauline's scheme to deal with Terry doesn't go to plan. Leslie and Amber's double date doesn't quite go to plan either.
