## Description

Life drifts at a slow and hazy pace here in the beautiful village of Holmfirth, in the verdant Yorkshire Dales - home to our three over-sixties schoolboys, Compo, Foggy and Clegg.

Engaged in a multitude of activities that men of a younger age would consider themselves too old for, our retired (but not retiring) trio continue to get themselves into all sorts of fixes, over field and down dale and even into the distant hills. And as their endless summer rolls gently on, many an astonishing scheme is born, as we see Foggy enter the emergency rescue business, Clegg embark on an old Yorkshire ghost-hunt and Compo launch headlong into a most perilous pursuit - to have his photo taken in Nora Batty's bedroom.
