What happens

Crocodile Shoes II is a British six-part television series made by the BBC and screened on BBC One in 1996. The follow-up to Crocodile Shoes, it was written by Jimmy Nail with Nick Mead as script associate. Where Crocodile Shoes followed Jed Shepperd on his journey from Newcastle to Nashville and all the way back, Crocodile Shoes II showed Jed trying to prove he didn't kill his manager Ade Lynn (James Wilby). During Crocodile Shoes II, Shepperd returns to Newcastle, was sent to prison, became engaged to Wendy, and was nearly killed in an accident. It's unclear why James Wilby is written out of the second series and why Mike Elliott is replaced with another actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
