The OPC - short for The Old People's Channel - an original scripted podcast series focusing on ageism, created and written by Richard Curtis, has released its first two episodes, each under 15 minutes, now available on all streaming platforms.

In Episode One, "What Is Grandpa Up To?" the family of patriarch Bernard Bentlee discovers that he is working on a mysterious project which seems to include a visit to a call girl. His daughter Annette and her ex-husband Leonard, a psychiatrist, find a notepad on Bernard Bentlee's desk with a coded list. It is labeled "The OPC". They try to break into his computer but just as they were about to discover the password, Bentlee returns home.

In Episode Two, "The Investigators" the family sets out to learn what Bernard is secretly up to.
