And what was it like you may ask?,and even if you haven't asked the question i'm going to tell you,rubbish with a capital
Boring and predictable and just so so pre-rehesrsed how this show is such a success i beyond me,and what will the next series bring,maybe the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 GT3 verse the Pride Colt Plus 4 on a "Pensioners Challenge" to see who is the fastest to going from The Happy Days retirement village to the Local Netto a distance of over a mile and a quarter to get a list of shopping items in peak rush hour traffic (The Lamborghini must be parked and the local Chavs bribed with Bensons and Alcho Pops for car watching) then a list of provisions obtained for a person in their eighties,milk,butter beans small tins of red salmon,mint imperials and (assorted cans of Kit-e-kat even if they don't have a cat they always buy i) then back again for medication,bingo and a cup of lukewarm coffee with an Arrowroot biscuit.
