My Old Man (1973): Comedy. Series details, synopsis, cast and season dates from TVmaze.
Story and premise
Retired engine driver Sam Cobbett has been prised from his terraced house in Ironmonger Row by the crowbars of the demolition men. With Sam needing a new home, an obvious solution emerges in the shape of the spare room in his daughter's new high-rise flat. Sam is, all things considered, a reasonable man. He fought in two world wars, and he's seen a lot of life. It's just that he has some rather strong ideas on how to live it, and they're not usually shared by his social-climbing son-in-law, Albert--whom Sam takes much delight in embarrassing at every opportunity...
