It's July 1981, the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana. In a small Welsh town where her fifteen-year-old daughter Tammy has organized a street party, Linda Caddock recently made redundant and married to wannabe singer and all-round dreamer Johnny, fears for the future. Neighbour Alan wants her to run off with him. But who will she choose?

The Great Outdoors was a British television sitcom.

The show follows the friendships of a misfit rambling club in Southern England in which patronising group-leader Bob becomes embroiled in a battle of wills against new arrival and deputy group-leader Christine, who is determined that things should be done her way. She previously lived and rambled in Barnstaple and appears to perhaps be autistic and have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

The show comprised three episodes, first airing on Wednesdays between 28 July and 12 August 2010 on BBC Four.
