OLD - the sitcom

What's it all about

This video on the left is the first episode of my sitcom OLD. It is about a group of frisky OAPs who live in an upmarket retirement village.

I decided to film OLD because I was passionate about making a show which represented the over 70s in a more lively and boisterous fashion. I personally think there are not enough dynamic older characters on TV, particularly in comedy.

I like to think of OLD as a Friends for the over 70s and I am interested in finding production companies/producers/commissioners who would like to work with me to develop the concept. I am also looking to raise funds as making a second episode would cost a lot of money - and is something that I probably am unable to do unless it is financially supported.

My priority though is to get the interest of the industry so that I can fully realise these characters and find them a bigger audience.

I hope you enjoy watching OLD!

(Finally, I have also written a three part guide about the many things I learned throughout the progress of making a pilot episode. It is broken down into before filming, during filming and after filming - you can read it here: https://oldthesitcom.blogspot.com/)
