The format shows a number of well-known middle-aged men talk about any issues of modern life which irritate them, from the proliferation of excessive road signs to uneccessary and overly-loud mobile phone conversations.
The appeal of the show probably stems largely from the fact that the indignant rants shown are directed against things that many people neither grumpy nor old find absurd or infuriating themselves.
Regular contributors include Jeremy Clarkson, Simon Hoggart, Tony Hawks, A. A. Gill , Rory McGrath, Bill Nighy, Matthew Parris, John Peel, Arthur Smith, Rick Stein and Rick Wakeman.
