I'd rented a place in the lakes and I thought 'let's get my Mam and Dad up for a weekend break, it'll do 'em good...'

Martin Dawson is an aspiring stand-up comedian. Ho just wanted a peaceful weekend in the Lake District. So why on earth did he invite his parents to join him? 
Len has a tablet for every part of his body. 
Joan can find fault in almost anything. Especially Martin. 

Godber successfully combines biting humour with genuine poignancy in this though-provoking comment on age, communication and life in general. 

As expertly crafted as his more well known plays, but with a depth and sensitivity of it's own. Touching, at times heartbreaking, but always very, very. funny.
