Some say that people mellow with age. Some say that as time passes you learn to take things in your stride. Well not these guys!
Grumpy Old Men follows a handpicked crack squad of professional moaners, including Arthur Smith, Will Self, Rick Wakeman, Jeremy Clarkson and the late, great John Peel, each of whom refuse to fade quietly into the night. Instead they rant and rave at the world, serving up a hilarious mix of disbelief, exasperation and livid rage.
We know what you're thinking. Getting a collection of grumpy, world-weary men to gripe on given subjects may not sound like a very promising premise for a TV show but these guys are so damn funny it would be a crying shame if their views went unheard.
In fact, so well observed is their grumpiness that whatever your age, chances are you'll agree with them as they get right to the nub of each and every issue.
Topics put under the grumpy spotlight range from Pop Idol to Tony Blair to mobile phones to Christmas and much, much more. And, with a suitably sardonic narration by Geoffrey Palmer, this show is a real gem!
