seem strange that he's not sniffing around 40-50 age bracket - like Liz GILF and Erica MILF, hana!?

I don't know how old Freddie the character is supposed to be. Derek Griffiths who plays him has just turned 70.

If Freddie was a bouncer at the Zambezi club in 1969 as I think he said he was, I suppose he could be 70. I think Freddie is the type of character who likes to get on with all ages and he seems to be content just to be friends with women at the moment.

Since when is Liz in the 40-50 age bracket? she's pushing 60. Erica is early 50's. So both are not in that age range, especially Liz.
I know he doesn't look it but the guy who plays Freddie is 70 in real life.

The woman who plays Audrey is 72 in real life.

Wow, he looks a lot younger. I would've said 55-60.
