''[[The Old Guys]]'' is a British sitcom starring Clive Swift and Roger Lloyd-Pack and was created by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, the minds behind ''[[Peep Show]]''. The show follows Tom (Lloyd-Pack) and Roy (Swift) as they navigate their twilight years. [[Better Than It Sounds|Sounds idyllic, right?]] They're basically expies of [[Peep Show|Mark and Jeremy]], so their twilight years consist of verbal abuse, lusting after unattainable women, and [[Failure Is the Only Option]].

Line 14:
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Sally, the next-door object of the boys' desperate affections. Also "Sexy Barbara", the [[Hot Librarian]].
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Tom and Roy. One episode involves Tom trying to get Roy to marry him as part of a pension scam, and Roy agrees after Tom promises "No bed stuff!"
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Roy, Clive Swift, is Richard of ''[[Keeping Up Appearances]]'' and Lloyd-Pack was Owen on ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]''.
** I think Richard finally got fed-up with being hen-pecked and ran off to another show and changed his name to get away from Hyacinth!
** Tom's daughter Amber is Jen from ''[[The IT Crowd]]'', and Amber's boyfriend, Steve, is [[The Thick of It|'Blinky' Ben Swain]].
