This series is about four old (and presumably retired) men in a small town having a variety of escapades, evidently recapturing their lost youths.
Yes, it is thin material, depending on how well it is written and performed. It doesn't depend on contrived silliness like "Fawlty Towers" or "Are You Being Served?" or excessive blue humor like "Benny Hill" or weirdness like "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Most of the humor is funny to non-Britons as well. So how does this program work? The characters are reasonably credible-bored old men deciding to have fun before they die, though things often go wrong. Every cast member manages to perform their role correctly as well.
This is mild entertainment, though-not for those who want to see overacting and screaming.
