Poppy is eleven and has a lot of attitude

When she finds herself living with her cantankerous grandfather – a man she neither likes or loves – all hell breaks loose

Something of a hermit, a man living in the past who sees very little good in anything or anybody, Grandad Ken is suddenly and unexpectedly confronted by a tornado of energy who can’t sit still and asks too many questions

He is a man with no television, no computer and no patience

And while their relationship is volatile, it’s also very funny and strewn with moments of real tenderness

Grow up Grandad is a bitter-sweet comedy offering strong female roles, telling an inter-generational story that deals with love and loss, hope and sadness
