You're Only Young Twice

You're Only Young Twice was a British TV sitcom made and broadcast on the ITV network by Yorkshire Television from 6 September 1977 to 4 August 1981. Plot Set in Paradise Lodge retirement home, You're Only Young Twice was created and written by the writing partnership of Michael Ashton and Pam Valentine. It starred Peggy Mount as Flora Petty, with Pat Coombs as her sidekick Cissie Lupin. Paradise Lodge was described by Network DVD as "a superior residence for retired gentlefolk". The majority of the 31 episodes (broadcast throughout the show's four-year run) centre on Flora's attempts to thwart the long-suffering staff, led by Miss Milton (Charmian May). They are occasionally assisted by former theatrical artiste Dolly Love (played by veteran stage actress Lally Bowers) and the haughty Mildred Fanshaw (played by sitcom regular Diana King). It was produced by Yorkshire Television for the ITV network from 1977 to 1981.
