Plot

Born and Bred is set in the fictitious village of Ormston in Lancashire during the 1950s. The lead characters are Dr Arthur Gilder and his son Tom, who together run the cottage hospital under the National Health Service. Tom is married to Deborah, who is chairwoman of the parish council, and they have four children, Helen, Michael, Catherine and Philip. The hospital's nurse is Linda Cosgrove, who is married to the village policeman, PC Len Cosgrove. The local pub is run by Phyllis Woolf and the village shop by Horace Boynton. Other characters include the station master, Wilf Bradshaw; his daughter, Jean, who owns a scrapyard and later marries Eddie Mills, a mechanic; and the vicar, the Reverend Eustacius Brewer. Arthur and Tom leave the third series, and are replaced by Dr Donald Newman in the episodes "And Is There Still Honey For Tea?" and Dr Nick Logan in "The Great Leap Forward" respectively, plus Nancy Brisley, Deborah’s sister.
