The shows featured the everyday adventures of a group of characters living on Pigeon Street, an area of flats and terraced housing in a British city, also home to several pigeons which appeared in each show but only occasionally featured in the plot. Characters included Clara the long distance lorry driver, her husband Hugo the chef, Mr Baskerville the detective, Mr Jupiter the astronomer, Mr Macadoo the petshop owner, and twins Molly and Polly, who were only distinguishable by the letter M and P on their jumpers.
William the Window Cleaner has a busy day when the lift of Skyrise Court breaks down, but Reg, Clara, Hugo, Mr Jupiter and everybody else in Pigeon Street lend a helping hand.
Gerald spotted a weird light in the sky, and nobody could work out what it was. Mr Jupiter lived at the top of a block of flats, and everyone went up there to look at the light. As the light would appear to one side of the building, everyone would rush that way, but then it disappeared and then came back on the other side everyone dashed that way.
Reg and Gerald finds a pigeon that must be rescued from drowning after trying to swim with the ducks. They take it to Macadoo, who suggests that Mr. Baskerville might be able to talk sense to it. Mr Baskerville succeeds partly - the pigeon no longer thinks it is a duck, it decides to be a seagull instead. Bob, however, gets Clara to take the pigeon to the ocean. After attempting to catch fish in the rough sea, the bird is finally content to be a pigeon.
Gerald gets a football for his birthday. Reg, Mr Jupiter, Mr Baskerville and Watson join him for a game on the green, but a long kick by Gerald leads to trouble.
The noise Daisy makes gets on the nerves of her neighbour Rose. Rose's noise annoys Daisy too, but then they find out how to use the thin wall between them.
Bob has trained his pigeons to fly back to him no matter how far they go. Clara, the lorry driver, finds that they are the only way of sending a very important message.
Everybody in Pigeon Street has a cold, until Hugo the cook stumbles upon a cure.
When it's lunchtime in Pigeon Street most people make do with sandwiches. Hugo and Betty plan how everybody could meet up and eat lunch together, but it's not as easy as looks.
Jim, Gerald and the twins discover that Mr Clark of the council has plans to build a garage on their playground. The only answer is to protest, but it proves very expensive.
Pigeon Street gets entirely flooded. All the characters have to take refuge in Skyrise Court and Watson gets very scared of the water continualy rising.
Everybody in Pigeon Street seems to be taking up a hobby, but when Gerald decides to play the saxophone, he has to find somewhere to practise where there's nobody to disturb.
Hugo has to lose weight and Dr Glossop advises him to go jogging with him. But jogging is not the right sort of exercise for Hugo. What is? Clara comes up with the answer.
Everybody in Pigeon Street is going on holiday. Mr Macadoo wants to go too, and Gerald and Mr Baskerville look after his pet shop while he's away.
