Set in Yorkshire, diabetic Horace has learning disabilities and works in the back of a joke shop. He befriends loner schoolboy Gordon Blackett, who retreats from his loveless home into an imaginary world.

Horace had a learning disability, and he used to like "fish n chips for tea." It was arguably the first mainstream UK TV serial that had a person with a learning disability as the protagonist.

这家酒吧叫Horace and Pete，开了一百年，这一个世纪由历代的Horace和Pete来经营。这家年迈的酒馆在光鲜的布鲁克林似乎已经过气了，现在的主人也如同这家疲倦的酒馆一样。Horace离过婚，没有固定女友，跟子女处理不好关系；Pete一辈子都在这家酒吧里，有精神疾病，一旦停药就会失控。还有他们的叔叔、姐姐、前妻、爷爷的前女友、不定期的床伴以及定期的老顾客，构成了属于这家酒馆的百年江湖。

Horace jumps in a caravan car covered with a large tarp, only to discover that a band of hooded rebels are hidden under the canopy. He fights first with the gang's leader, then all join in. He manages to escape with the leader's kimono. He jumps on a mule as the gang pursues by car. Horace gets a dose of courage when he realizes that a young woman on horseback is watching. He captures the gang with a nifty bit of roping, and she holds her rifle on them. He's performed an heroic deed in front of her. Is it enough?

In the 1850s, the small mid western college of Antioch faces going out of business unless it changes school policy and takes on wealthy clientèle to pay their mounting debts. Their stalwart dean, Horace Mann, refuses and would rather go down to defeat than betray his principles. At the moment that all seems lost, a benefactor steps in to rescue them.

In 1953, Horace Carter earned a Pulitzer Prize for Meritorious Public Service for his reporting on the Ku Klux Klan. Carter persevered in the face of death threats, including those against his family, and used the editorial authority of North Carolina's TABOR CITY TRIBUNE to protest the Klan's racist rhetoric and vigilantism. Carter's bold reporting and the unwavering integrity of his editorials helped lead to the first federal intervention in the south during that era and to the arrest and conviction of nearly 100 klansmen.
