Domineering granny Debbie Fendon (French) is a woman who will stop at nothing to protect her family - it's just the person they most need protecting from is her. When her hermit-like husband, William, unexpectedly dies, she makes an outlandish decision that will put the family under more pressure than ever before. Because William isn't actually dead - he just got mistakenly declared it and has been living in the loft while they wait for the life insurance to pay out. This comes as a bit of a shock to their easily frazzled son, Harold, whose wife, Neha, works for the local police. Just as they come to terms with the baffling behavior of these geriatric toddlers, Debbie reveals another secret she's been keeping up her sleeve - and this one could bring the whole family down.

In addition to French, the comedy stars Mark Heap, Craig Roberts and Mandip Gill.

Simon Mayhew-Archer created the comedy. He executive produces with French, Kenton Allen, Toby Welch and director Simon Hynd. CBS Studios, Big Talk Studios and Mayhay Studios produce.
