CODGERS
by Don Reid

Eavesdrop on six senior Aussie men, some of them mates since war service, as they sweat it out each week in a gym and are taken on inter-connected journeys that are challenging, touching and very funny.

When secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy their long established friendships, they learn that ‘difference’ is more a matter of point of view; that ‘you wouldn’t be dead for quids’ and, no matter what, that you gotta laugh!

Women see their husbands, adult children see their fathers, grandchildren see Grandad and the senior Australian male sees himself: whether he’s a WWII veteran, full of jokes and denial; a spry young lad of 60; scared and starting to lose it at 70; or Asian and still on the outer at 80.

‘Codgers’ is an unmissable smash hit Australian comedy performed by some of our best loved actors.
