Care home residents have created a hilarious comedy ‘Western’ featuring shoot-out scenes and references to Yorkshire puddings.

The 11 OAPs - who have a collective age of 948 - wrote and starred in the movie titled ‘The Tale of Robin of Otley’ while living at the Old Vicarage residential home.

They captured their whimsical dialogue using a smartphone and a green screen before bringing it to life with AI animation.

Their final script was a humorous take on the tale of Robin Hood - but is set in the Wild West and has references to West Yorkshire.

James Dixon, the home’s activities coordinator, came up with the idea for the 40-minute flick and then held creative writing sessions for the residents.

00:00Hello, I didn't know you were there.
00:26I want to tell you a story about my great great grandad.
00:35He was a famous outlaw from Otley in West Yorkshire and he used to rob from the rich
00:45and give it to the poor.
00:47The story begins on Hillclimb Wharf just west of Otley.
01:04Oh my darling, oh my darling, it's climbing time, da da da da da.
01:31Right, this is a robbery, you're trying for your life.
01:41You are making a huge mistake.
01:44Shut up and give me the loose.
01:47Do you know who this belongs to?
01:50No, who?
01:52It belongs to the king.
01:54I said pipe down.
01:56You're going to get into a lot of trouble.
02:00Well it belongs to me now.
02:02Millie, pack up the tribe.
02:09Then where do I go?
02:12Up a tree.
02:14Up a tree?
02:16It's barren out here, I can't see any trees.
02:21Get in that bush then.
02:23That bush?
02:25Yes, it's Tursite.
02:27They don't call it an ambush for nothing.
02:30But it's a bramble bush.
02:33Stop minding and get yourself in there.
02:36Right, I'll call attention to myself and nothing will be long.
02:40Soon, there's someone coming.
02:46Stop, stop, in the name of the king.
02:49Hello, what's that up to?
02:53I'm transporting these Yorkshire puddings to the king.
02:57My cart has broken down.
02:59Are you with the airy?
03:01No, where they are I see.
03:04What's that stand for?
03:06Rob all carts.
03:09Hand over the loose.
03:11I haven't got the loose, I've only got this ukulele.
03:16Where hast thou been since I saw thee?
03:20On hill Clemo Bartat.
03:26Where hast thou been since I saw thee?
03:30I saw thee.
03:31Where hast thou been since I saw thee?
03:34I saw thee.
03:35On hill Clemo Bartat.
03:38On hill Clemo Bartat.
03:41On hill Clemo Bartat.
03:48Ey up, here comes the pastor.
03:52Why, I wonder what they want?
04:01Hello pastor, what can we do for thee?
04:04You're not blinking while singing your hymn are you?
04:10No, I'm here because I need your help.
04:13If it's about the tribe, I'm afraid it's been difficult to get hold of recently.
04:18They've doubled the guards on the wagons.
04:22No, it's the sheriff is up to the Yorkshire pudding tax.
04:26You what?
04:28What are you having with the onion gravy?
04:31Oatcakes.
04:32What?
04:34Good God.
04:37We'll have to come and sort it out.
04:40God bless you Robin.
04:44Right.
04:48Now this is a plan.
04:50Yeah.
04:54Stick it up your jumper.
04:56Right, Lord help us.
05:00Let's see about it.
05:18Did you see that?
05:20They shot at us.
05:22Alright, if they want a fight, I'll give them one.
