Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that even though it's pretty tame from a content perspective -- a bit of kissing and drinking and rare uses of "damn" are about the worst of it -- this witty British sitcom isn't likely to interest teens, since they won't relate to the aging characters' issues.

Sexual Content

Occasional kisses; some vague implications of sexual attraction.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Rare use of "damn."

Social Behavior

The series follows the ups and downs of an older couple reaffirming their feelings for each other and working out the kinks of a new marriage. Through it all, they display a genuine affection for each other.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Adults drink in social settings and to relax at home. In at least one scene, a woman drinks too much champagne and gets clumsy and boisterous.
