"The BBC's longest running comedy series."

Synopsis

Unencumbered by wives, jobs or any other responsibilities, three senior citizens who've never really grown up explore their world in the Yorkshire Dales. They spend their days speculating about their fellow townsfolk and thinking up adventures not usually favored by the elderly.

It is the longest running comedy Britain has produced and the longest running sitcom in the world.
