Big Ticket is a new drama from the creators of the beloved Wingfield Farm series. The work blends rural mystery, dry wit, and farm-fresh romance, described as "a rural noir — as if Raymond Chandler got lost in Persephone Township." The story follows Hope, Walt Wingfield's grown daughter, who now works at Queen's Park. Her former boyfriend Ray has returned to Persephone Township and works at the last printed newspaper in Hillhurst Country. As Ray and Hope's paths intersect, the newspaper's editor — a character beloved by fans of the Wingfield shows — begins to piece together mysterious elements unfolding in the world of agriculture.

Lady Next Door

Two neighbours share a common courtyard — Huguette, exuberant and free-spirited, and Vana, orderly and organized. Their clashing lifestyles create constant friction: Huguette hangs laundry to loud music, sets up a tent for backyard camping, and practices acrobatic bike tricks, while Vana is most bothered by Huguette's perpetually overflowing garbage cans. Through the chaos, the neighbours gradually learn to communicate and understand each other better. A glimmer of friendship emerges as they discover they may not be so different after all. This female clown duo delivers physical comedy and heart — expect to laugh until you cry.
