Gerald (Peter Jones) and Alice (Pat Heywood) are a middle-aged couple whose children have now grown up and moved away from home.
In a bid to ensure a "quiet" life, Gerald and Alice sell their house in Croydon and move out into the country.
Life isn't nearly as "quiet" as they had hoped, however, mainly due to frequent "visits" by their daughter Sue (Rowena Roberts) and son Tony (Ian Gelder).
