My Old Man was a popular but short-lived British comedy programme starring Clive Dunn as retired and embittered engine driver Sam Cobbett. Set in London, England, Sam Cobbett is the last tenant to leave an old house on a council-condemned road. He goes to live with his daughter, her posh husband, and their young teenage son, in a flat nearby.
Sam believes it's a grandfather's right to take the children out on their half-term holiday, but Doris, Arthur, and the children all disagree.
Attempting to help an old pal with his problems, Sam only gets some of his own.
Money talks - and one reliable way to get old Sam to do something he doesn't like is to bribe him...
Doris and Arthur are giving an important dinner party and it's going to be strictly a la Francaise. but how do you make onion soup without onions? It's Sam to the rescue - with the usual results.
It's Arthur's big day - he's going to be the best man at a friend's wedding. Doris is looking forward to it, and so was Sam - until he found out he wasn't invited.
A Sunday promises to be a pleasant family day.
The Coseycombe Tavern is not the sort of place you'll find a dartboard, let alone a darts team. But Sam has different ideas - and they aren't the same as the new landlord's.
