Join Billy and those who accompany him on his cases, mishaps and escapades - Ryan Thompson, a playboying electrician; Jean Phelps, a striving Events Manager; Police Constable Janet Worthing, and the cantankerous landlord, Mister Snoutnose - as they embark on some of the strangest, funniest and most thrilling adventures of the modern day!
