This highly popular Yorkshire Television sitcom stars much-loved TV battleaxe Peggy Mount on robust form as Flora Petty, the scourge of Paradise Lodge - a superior residence for retired gentlefolk. Pat Coombs co-stars as Flora’s dim-witted sidekick, Cissie, while veteran stage actress Lally Bowers (A Fine Romance) and sitcom legend Diana King are fellow residents Dolly and Mildred, always ready to lend their weight to Flora’s campaign of insubordination against proprietress Miss Milton and her staff.
Woe betides anyone who tries to take on the fearless Flora: she’s old enough to know better... but wise enough not to care! Mining a richly comic terrain that would be revisited a decade later in Waiting for God, You’re Only Young Twice ran for four series between 1977 and 1981; this set contains the fourth and final series, originally screened in 1981, and the 1980 Christmas special.
