Edith (Alison Steadman) and Phil (John Cleese) are retired and in love. When she finally agrees to marry him, they're all set to move to a place in the sun. But then Edith's son Roger (Jason Watkins) crashes back into their lives. Fifty going on 12, Roger has had a mid-life breakdown and left his wife, children and job. As Roger and a host of other unwanted visitors cause havoc around their house, Edith and Phil's lives explode into farce. All they wanted was a quiet retirement filled with sea and sand.
