Boomers follows the ups and downs of three couples living in Thurnemouth, 'Norfolk's only West facing resort'.

There's Alan and Joyce (Phil Jackson and Alison Steadman), who are coming at retirement from very different directions; Alan... wants to slow down, Joyce wants to speed up. Alan tries to avoid as many of Joyce's social commitments as possible, but downsizing to a bungalow has meant there are fewer places for him to hide.

John and Maureen (Russ Abbot and Stephanie Beacham), living in their gadget filled dream house, adventurous in every aspect of life including the bedroom. For them 60 is the new 40, however there's a reminder of what's around the corner with Maureen's ever present mum Joan (June Whitfield).

And finally there's Trevor and Carol (James Smith and Paula Wilcox) who've got non communication down to such a fine art, that if Carol spent a weekend away, Trevor might not even notice.

30 years of living in each other's pockets have shown the benefits and drawbacks of the group staying friends...

Each couple takes a long hard look at who they've ended up with, there's so much more they could achieve in their own lives, do they want to spend the rest of it with each other?

We follow their adventures including an anniversary celebration that ticks all the wrong boxes, the arrival of a blast from Alan's past on the group, and a World War Two Nostalgia Night causes battle lines to be drawn up.
