Uncovering what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, while exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate momentss. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades. The original cast will reprise their roles in this new series as well as a new cast of children and grandchildren of their returning film characters.
