Further details
Every year Joyce, Alan, Maureen, John, Trevor and Carol go away for a 60s weekend at a seaside resort. There are activities, dancing and old 60s acts playing live, but this year is different - Alan has messed up the booking and they only have two rooms between six; John is feeling old and decides to prove he is not by trying to get to the top of the climbing wall; and Carol bumps into an old male friend who could throw her and Trevor's marriage back in the air.
