Off their rockers!

[Fugitive]

I utterly loathed this programme and watched the first ten minutes wondering if my sense of humour had vanished. Candid-Camera for Oldies but they were being laughed at and not laughed with by the poor victims who were being very polite but actually laughing in pity!

If it gives a few veteran actors the bonus of extra income then good for them. Otherwise, most of the 'Off Their Rockers' stunts reflect how some people actually are when they get old and then get whisked away into a home seen as a nuisance and a danger to themselves and to others as well as such a lot of distress for their families.

If this was supposed to help the image of the aged it didn't work. It made old people look stupid, out of control and mental.

Totally embarrassing and cringe making!

Really? Wow, polar opposite opinions on this then! I'll watch later on catch up and see what I think

Just watched the first half of last night's on iplayer. Hmmmm not my cup of tea really - I didn't feel as strongly about it as you obviously do Fugi, but I do get your point It made me a little uncomfortable........

Just caught the first episode on ITV player and thought it was quite funny.

I can understand why people would not like it, but that is a good thing. If we all liked the same things and all had the same SOH life would be eternally boring.

Oh definitely

We watched an old George Gently instead on Alibi, one we'd missed

Jen and I record GG every week and we ended up watching last week's episode last night while eating our meal I love looking out for local landmarks

We saw OTR last week and although there were a couple of funny bits I wouldn't mind if I missed it....as WM says, it wouldn't be right if we all liked the same things

It's one of our favourites Gal, always beautifully written and acted IMO
