Advantages: quaint

Disadvantages: tired jokes

This programme seems to have been running years and years and it never gets any funnier. Here are some good and bad points about the show:

Brief summary: The programme is about a group of old folk who seem to find themselves with too much time on their hands. The men in particular get into mischief in most episodes.

Good points:

* It is quite charming for Sunday viewing tv and will make you feel rested

* It is well acted. Peter Sallis brings an air of warmth to his character

* The locations are very tranquil, the scenery often is a highlight

* The music is nostalgic and conjures up images of slow norther pastimes

* The show has run for decades, so it does have a loyal fanbase


The bad points:

* A lot of the jokes are repeated week after week, using slightly different scenarios

* The costumes are quite outdated, even for old folk!

* The laughter which is 'dubbed' on seems fake and overused

* The men spend a lot of time oggling women, more jokes could centre around more realistic pursuits for old people, like gardening.

Verdict: Heartwarming but running thin in material

Summary: acceptable tv
