When The Dog Dies

Ronnie Corbett reunites with Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent, the writers of his hit BBC sitcom Sorry!, for this comedy for BBC Radio 4.

Corbett plays Sandy Hopper, who is growing old happily along with his dog, Henry. His grown-up children, who are both married to people Sandy doesn't approve, would like him to move out of the family home so they can get their hands on their money earlier. But Sandy is not having this - he's not moving until the dog dies.

Sandy also has a lodger, and his daughter is convinced that the too-attractive Dolores is after her father and his money.

Luckily, Sandy has three grandchildren; sometimes a friendly word or a kindly hand on the shoulder can really help a grandad in the 21st century. Man and dog together face a complicated world. There's every chance they'll make it more so.
