has stated that...
...many people's expectations
of their retirement incomes...
...were likely to be optimistic...
...and that in reality millions
will face retirement poverty.
The latest figures
have come at a time...
...when pensioners
are already feeling...
...very unsure about their futures.
Social Services fear
that this growing uncertainty...
...may lead to some pensioners
taking desperate measures...
...in order to get by.
Hello. Have you seen outside
your window today?
It's a beautiful spring morning
in the South West.
That's what we like to see.
But make the most of it...
...because storms are forecast
for later on in the week.
But coming up
we've got the Henley W.I...
And our brain of Bristol quiz...
from Keynsham...
...off his five week
run at the top?
We'll soon find out.
Stay tuned for your chance...
...to win the quiz of a lifetime.
Morning, my love.
Thank you, Arthur.
Dear. Thank you.
As a little reward, why don't you
pop in for a cuddle?
Got lots to do.
Thought I'd better
make a good start.
-Morning, George.
-Morning, Arthur.
Morning, Iris.
How are you today?
You're late.
Martha made you a cottage pie.
I prefer shepherd's pie.
If an adult human
has a full set of teeth...
...how many is that?
-Thirty-four.
-I've only got a few in me head...
...so I'm not really one to ask.
Thirty-four.
I know it's more than thirty
but I'm not sure.
Come on, numskull.
Everyone knows it's thirty-four.
-It's thirty...
-Thirty-four.
I'm gonna have to hurry you, Kevin.
-I'm gonna say thirty-two.
-Correct.
What board game was invented
...by an unemployed...
Come on in,
he's just in the bedroom.
Is that my Steven?
Pot Noodle, you said?
It's all I got.
When I said
it weren't proper food...
...they locked me in me room.
Said I were having a turn and...
...needed me rest.
But I'll tell you, Arthur.
I know whether I'm having...
...one of my bleeding turns or not.
Mr. Goode...
...I can assure you
the residents receive...
...a balanced nutritional offering.
-A what?
-A nutritional offering.
Calorific intake.
What they eat.
Well, why didn't you say so?
the point.
We ourselves were concerned
whether pot noodles were fit...
...for purpose and removed them
from the offering.
The reaction amongst
the residents wasn't positive...
...to say the least.
So we re-offered them.
As for being locked in his room...
...the roster shows Mr. Wilkins
was assisted to his room...
...when he became fatigued.
If you have more feedback,
here's a form.
Or you can action
your information online.
Evening, boys.
Pint, Royston.
Or should I say "Billy Fury?"
Diet lemonade please, Brian.
I'm playing Eric Liddell...
...in the Tewkesbury Players
production of Chariots of Fire.
I said to myself,
if I win, it's a win for God.
But, I find myself sitting here
destroying it all, but I have to.
To run would be against God's law.
I thank you.
Sounds more like Braveheart.
So how's your toy boy?
Still off his game, then?
Well, let's say I haven't
had a bit of tickle...
...let alone any slap for longer
than I care to think about.
My Royston's not much fun now
at the moment.
What with all our worries.
They take it very hard.
Aren't you a little too...
...curvaceous to play
an Olympic athlete?
What are you talking about?
I'm an Adonis.
Well, at least that's
I think you've brainwashed her
somewhere back in the 50s.
Only with my devilish charm
and my roughish good looks.
Look, where's this diet lemonade?
He's been like this all night.
He's just found out
his pension's b....red...
...and he's finding silly excuses
not to take a pint from his mates.
Your pension's b....red?
How?
The little spiv that calls himself
...it's falling equity bondings
or something like that.
Anyway, I can't afford
to buy a round...
...so I'm covering Shirley's drinks
and I'm not drinking myself.
Anyway, Arthur, there's nothing
silly about having some pride.
So that's a pint for Royston.
Two more pints for us
and one for yourself.
Thank you, Arthur.
It's pride.
Eats away at the man
side of them...
...like trying to make them
vegetarian.
Iris did that to her husband,
made him go vegetarian.
For his health, she said.
Pined away for a want of a sausage,
he did.
Like you and me.
Sorry, boys. That's my cue.
Come on, Shirl. Let's see it!
Off you go.
Are you going to tell me
what's wrong?
Is it Charlie?
You've not been the same
since this morning.
You should have seen him.
You should have seen the clever
clogs running the place.
Letting him rot without a care.
As long as her balance sheets
add up.
You know...
...when he went in there
he could walk for himself.
Now look.
Arthur?
Remember what we said.
We said, we wouldn't let ourselves
get upset about this kind of thing.
Be thankful for what we've got...
...and never forget
we've got each other.
I just feel so sodding helpless.
So bloody helpless.
Hello, Mr. Goode.
Sorry to keep you.
Just so you know,
there's a note...
...on Mrs. Goode's
repeat prescription...
...asking that you contact
your doctor.
Is everything ok?
There's never been
a problem before.
I can't tell you anything more,
