    Young at Heart is a British independent television sitcom that was broadcast between 1980 and 1982. Starring John Mills and Megs Jenkins the series was about a married couple, Albert and Ethel Collyer, after Albert's enforced retirement at age 65 from his 50 years as a pottery worker. Although Mills had performed in comedy prior to this, Young at Heart was his first leading role in a sitcom.[1][2]

    The series was devised and written by Vince Powell. A pilot episode was broadcast in 1977 and three full series of five, seven and six episodes respectively were broadcast each year from 1980.[2][3]

    Filming was at the ATV studios in Elstree, London and on location in Stoke-on-Trent.[4]

    As well as starring Mills also sang the show's theme song.[2]
