Housemates Tom and Roy are the ying to each other’s yang. Roy is well-read, organised, clean and sensitive. Tom, well, isn’t. As both of them settle into retirement, they are faced with the prospect of life simply not
turning out quite how they imagined.

Tom, a widower, retains a complicated relationship with daughter Amber, while Roy, childless, is almost over the fact that his ex-wife Penny left him for a man named Des nearly two years previously. Despite all the
heartbreak they remain well-rounded, emotionally stable individuals. Apart from Tom trying to force Roy to marry him for money, fighting over a courtesan from Belarus, and an extremely unhealthy obsession with their sexy neighbour, Sally.

Together, however, they manage to muddle through life – answering the important questions that retirement poses. Questions involving religion, true-love and precisely how early is too early to start drinking in the day. Despite all the arguments, bickering and competition between them, their friendship is real and lasting. Who else can you turn to when your pound
shop orange cagoule turns your face the same color, or when you discover the beauty and simple pleasure of watching the television through glasses made out of wafer-thin ham?

Original, funny and only a little distasteful – this new comedy, a modern-dayThe Odd Couple, takes a fresh look at retirement and the joys of growing old disgracefully.
