Britain is a country with a t.v. series about two 'Old Guys' and Jane Asher

'The Old Guys' is a British comedy tv series which started in 2009 and revolves around two ageing house-mates, Tom and Roy, who live across the street from Sally played by Jane Asher, who they both find attractive.

Tom moved in with Roy after Roy's wife and Tom has little in life but his daughter Amber. Roy is a suburban pensioner who believes that he is one of the country's leading intellectuals and the show examines the relationship between two ageing men.

The series received mixed reviews. 'On The Box', for example, stated : 'Aside from sporting the worst theme tune to accompany a sitcom in living memory, 'The Old Guys' is a horrid confection of cheap BBC comedy and an ill-conceived, poorly handled premise.'
