Simon Callow is back as irascible, hell-raising pensioner Henry Palmer, the former mod who sees no reason to stop living his life by his own rules now he's in his 70s, in the second, brand-new series of this UKTV Original.
Written by Andrew Birch, adapted from his own cartoon strip for The Oldie, The Rebel sees Harry once again sticking two fingers up at authority, society and the vagaries of modern life. He's still of the firm belief there's no problem that can't be solved by a great tune and a quick bit of vandalism.
Also returning in this new, six-part series are Bill Paterson as former hippie Charles, Anita Dobson as charity shop worker Margaret, Anna Crilly as Henry's put-upon daughter Cath, and Frances Barber.
