Eminent British actor John Mills went the sitcom route in the ITV network's Young at Heart. Mills was cast as Albert Collyer, a pottery worker forced into retirement after 50 years at the same job. With no hobbies or outside interests (save for quaffing a few at the local pub), Albert shambled around his house in search of ways to occupy his time. Meanwhile, his wife Ethel (Megs Jenkin) was almost saintlike in her efforts to put up with her constantly underfoot husband. In addition to his acting chores, John Mills could be heard singing the series' familiar theme song. Introduced with a pilot episode on August 4, 1977, Young at Heart was seen from April 14, 1980 to July 2, 1981 on the ITV's ATV channel, then was broadcast by the network's Central Television division from September 24 to November 5, 1982, bringing the total number of episodes to 19. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
