SORRY.
Sorry is based around Timothy Lumsden who, 41 years old in the first three series (his age increased to 42 and then 44 in subsequent series), is a librarian who still lives at home with his domineering mother Phyllis and henpecked father Sydney. Although quite shy around women, Timothy longs to find love and leave home, but Phyllis is always aghast at the idea, and constantly manipulates her son into staying at home. One of the running gags of the series is Sydney frequently shouting "Language, Timothy!" when he feels Timothy has said something inappropriate, even though most times nobody would typically find the words even close to offensive. In contrast, Timothy's friend Frank and sister Muriel urge Timothy to stand up to his mother once and for all. Muriel had successfully left home, and married Kevin, and as a result is viewed with distrust by her mother.
