Ronnie Corbett and the writers of his hit sitcom Sorry, Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent, return for a second series of this popular sitcom about Sandy Hopper, a granddad happily growing old along with his dog Henry and his lodger, Dolores (Liza Tarbuck).

Dolores seems to have taken up with a married man but Sandy's grandfatherly duties come before his fatherly ones. And thus Sandy discovers the power of the story. Tyson's sister Zoe is desperate to find out what happened next. If it were just a matter of googling Emily Bronte, it would be simple enough but things are never that easy for Sandy. Just who is Byron Queasley, for a start?
