If you're unfamiliar with the sitcom The Golden Girls then you need to get on it quick.
The theme tune alone has enough to draw you in:
Buffy creator Joss Whedon's Dad was one of the head writers and Graham Norton is a superfan.
It's essentially Friends but with blue rinse and it was hilarious and ran between the mid 80s and into the 90s.
(you'll catch it on GOLD and there's loads on YouTube)
It featured four main characters, Dorothy (The Crank), Sofia (The Scary Sicilian Mother of Dorothy), Rose (The Child) and Blanche (The Slut).
A company called Celebrity Cruises have announced a Golden Girls Fan Cruise.
