The world's longest-running sitcom is back with more adventures from everyone's favorite geriatrics! Soon after Foggy leaves for Bridleton to inherit his uncle's business, Seymour Utterthwaite (Michael Aldridge) arrives on the scene in the wake of a self-propelled wheelbarrow, the first of many wacky inventions to leap from the mind of this retired headmaster. Clegg takes Compo and Seymour on a sentimental journey to re-create the times when his old school chums would walk gates and climb trees together. Also, Compo willingly agrees to "road-test" Seymour's new concept of a gentleman's purse (especially as there will be real money provided in it), and Edie's days of carrying a heavy dustbin are numbered when Seymour decides to install a new waste disposal unit for her.
