In this new Golden Age of television, John Cleese is indeed returning to the realm of sitcom with a new show from the writer of Brazil, Charles McKeown. 

The premise, the engagement of an elderly couple is interrupted by an old son moving in with them, seems kind of straightforward and a bit classical in a sort of Odd Couple, Three’s Company sense. 

That being said, with Monty Python alums Cleese and McKeown on board, we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something special that they’ve got hidden up their sleeve for this series in tone, writing, etc.
