Hancock, (who was voted Britain's best-ever comic 35 years after his death) leaves his home in Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, England for warmer, more challenging climes. He encounters the Australian natives on his terms having dragged his attitudes with him halfway across the world.

Adulte en apparence, Tim n'en reste pas moins un enfant. Un être innocent, naïf et fragile selon les uns, un débile mental selon les autres. Sa vie bascule le jour où il rencontre Mary Horton, une séduisante quadragénaire qui l'engage pour quelques petits travaux dans sa propriété. Entre Mary et Tim naît une amitié, une affection si forte qu'elle se transforme rapidement en amour. Mais, aussi pure soit-elle, leur liaison dérange...

Rafferty's Rules was an Australian television drama series which ran from 1987 to 1990 on the Seven Network. Rafferty's Rules was one of the first programs undertaken by the Seven Network's then new in-house drama unit, going into production in May 1985 as "a 15-part courtroom drama". The program had started out as a pilot episode, recorded in early 1984 with the actor Chris Haywood in the lead role. When the pilot episode was remounted later in 1984, Chris Haywood wasn't available and the lead role was re-cast to John Wood. This second recording was eventually broadcast as the program's first episode.
