BBC One - Boomers, Series 1, Episode 4

Joyce is hoping for a big retirement party but Alan has smaller plans in mind.

Comedy series following the ups and downs of three retired couples. Alan hosts a retirement party for Joyce at the house, but a confrontation with their new neighbours is brewing.

Joyce is retiring. Although she was hoping for a big party at a country hotel, Alan has just invited their friends round to their house - but at least he has blown up some balloons. 

Maureen is feeling trapped 'out in the sticks' and latches on to Joyce's hip new neighbours - a young couple and their two kids - who have just moved from London. John's made a 'tribute video' for Joyce's party, but has forgotten to ask Trevor for his tribute. Alan has some bad news for Joyce that might spoil her party. That is, unless she spoils it first by confronting their neighbour about her kids' bad behaviour...
