Peter and Charles met at school and were comrades in arms - two fine, upstanding gentlemen who have been friends ever since. They jointly own an allotment and are leaseholders in a maisonette. Life has become very boring and they are tired of the same old routine. After 35 years, things are about to change...

Our Review: Shown as part of the Galton and Simpson Playhouse presentations, this one-off comedy paired the distinguished leads in a tale of unusual togetherness.
