Press clippings

A couple's plans to retire are scuppered as each of their adult children return home. This BBC sitcom ran from 1983-87, providing an early role for Martin Clunes (as one of the offspring). Inoffensive and uninspiring, it was just another in a long line of tedious middle class comedies in which stuffy old dad and his stuffy old values are the butt of jokes for his 'with it' kids... yawn.
