You'd have got long odds, back when Stephanie Beacham was still in Dynasty and Russ Abbot was in his "Madhouse", of the two of them ever appearing in a sitcom together. Even longer, if you said that sitcom would be based around a friendship group for OAPs in Norfolk. Still, you wouldn't have predicted the iPad either, would you? Abbot and Beacham will star alongside Alison Steadman in a pilot for a new BBC comedy, Grey Mates, reports the Sun. Not to be confused with Gray Matter, Walter White's old technology company in Breaking Bad.
