Based on an original book by David Walliams, Grandpa’s Great Escape tells the tale of Grandpa, a World War II flying ace, who now sadly suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and when his family can no longer look after him he is moved to an old people’s home called Twilight Towers, run by Miss Dandy.

Speaking about the show Walliams, said: “I am thrilled to be working with acting and comedy royalty on this adaptation of my book.

"I have loved Tom Courtenay forever and I still can't believe that I am working with him. He is the perfect Grandpa.

"And what a treat to be working with comedy genius Jennifer Saunders again.”
