Plot

Set in "Paradise Lodge Retirement Home", YOYT was created and written by the writing partnership of Michael Ashton and Pam Valentine and starred Peggy Mount as Flora Petty, with Pat Coombs as her sidekick Cissie Lupin.

The majority of the 31 episodes (broadcast throughout the show's four-year run) centred on Flora's attempts to thwart the long-suffering staff, led by Miss Milton (Charmian May). They are on occasion assisted by former theatrical artiste Dolly Love (played by veteran stage actress Lally Bowers) and the haughty Mildred Fanshaw (played by sitcom regular Diana King).

It was produced by Yorkshire Television for the ITV network from 1977 to 1981.
