This was the first radio series from Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who later went on to write Red Dwarf, and was set in an old people's home. Surrealism and normality was blended with diverse staff and residents, and two series ensued. The cast included Tom Mennard, Anthea Askey, Ballard Berkeley, David Ross and Nick Maloney.
It would seem that none of the series were retained in the BBC archives (although I do have one oldish taped episode) so if anyone has any of the these shows I would be grateful if you could get in touch, if nothing else, it will allow me to flesh out the episode log!
