Grumpy Old Women is a British television series that continues in the same vein as its predecessor, Grumpy Old Men. Both programmes are shown on BBC Two. The first two series were narrated by Alison Steadman, and the third by Judith Holder (who is also the 'grumpy old woman' in the clips). The show began as a Christmas special, but due to its popularity, it led to a regular series, a book (see below), and a stage show.BBC press office
