Sandy Hopper (Ronnie Corbett) is growing old happily along with his dog Henry. His grown up children-both married to people Sandy doesn't approve of at all-would like him to move out of the family home so they can get their hands on their money earlier. But Sandy's not having this-he's not moving until the dog dies. And anyway, how can he move if he's got a lodger? His daughter is convinced that his too-attractive lodger Dolores (Liza Tarbuck) is after Sandy and his money. Luckily, Sandy has three grandchildren and sometimes a friendly word-a kindly hand on the shoulder-can really help a Granddad in the twenty-first century. Man and dog together face a complicated world. There's every chance they'll make it more so.
