    Great enjoyable fun

    There are only 6 episodes? I knew it was too good to last. Each episode contains many good laughs. The dialogue is great, cast is wonderful and storyline is easy to relate to. Some great camera work there to as well as shots of our beloved Thames somewhere around Twickenham and Richmond. I have enjoyed every single one of the episodes and was looking forward to many more. Also, it has this gentle quality to it one feels rejuvenated afterwards. Thank you creators.

    Sneeringly funny

    Really enjoyed this. I get the feeling that many are critical of this show simply because the shoe is on the other foot. People in their seventies are the ones that are tolerating and making fun of the puerile behavior of younger people. God forbid we have a show with older people who are independent, don't want their kids to move in with them and simply want to live their lives without all the unnecessary drama their kids try to impose on them.

    Safe and Pleasant but not Great

    The show truly has an excellent cast. And I love sitcoms - especially the old ones, However, this is the slightly the wrong side of silly and features some unbelievable characters that become wholly predictable.

    I like that this show exists but I would not rush to watch more of it.

    If you want to lazily wtach some gentle humour then this is fine. If you want to laugh then watch the better ones.

    Hang in there..

    Do not give up on this show. It has a rocky start, but gets really funny- like laughing when you are alone funny. All star cast drives the script.

    Nice watch

    It's sad that some reviewers are slating this as poor or bad. They are used to sitcoms with constant swearing and lewd humour obviously. This one is refreshingly clean and aimed at people with decency. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Alison Steadman is amazing. I liked her since she played in Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. Shame how old and bloated John Cleese looks now... :(
