Last Legs is a fly-on-the-wall insight into the life of an upmarket retirement community - The Cambridge. Affairs, grudges, dodgy deals, ailments, love and lust - it’s there in all its unglamorous but hysterical glory. News that the Prime Minister is to open a new wing sparks a revolution among its residents. Many want to turn on something special, but others are less enthused and plan to stage a protest. Life in this village is anything but dull!

A struggling guest house in the Peak District has a ghostly past, and a history of bad luck stories for its long list of previous owners. A guest dies under suspicious circumstances and secrets begin to emerge about the other guests, all of whom seem to have something to hide. The guests become housebound by a heavy snowfall and all that needs to be solved is who is genuine, and who is there for their own vengeful reason?
