Waitingt For God October 2, 2007
It's a great British comedy. I live in a retirement resort in Medford, OR and we see how close it is to what a retirement community can actually be like.

What a way to retire September 10, 2007
Tom and Diana have to be the two funniest people in a series. How Diana can be so funny but never cracks a smile. Tom is as loony as can be but very loveable. Together they keep Bayview hopping. Excellent series.

Diana....my role model August 22, 2007

If you want to be a cantankerous old battle ax I would highly recommend you watch this DVD and enroll in Diana Trenton's "charm school". If all women had this kind of spirit there would be less abused women in the world. She is smart and strong with a free spirit. We could learn a lot from this character about free thinking, free will, and a well placed sense of justice. But under all that armor is the tenderest heart. I love this show!!!

Tom and Diana are Magical June 28, 2007

I was so happy to receive this DVD as I miss seeing Tom and Diana on my local PBS channel. The clarity of the DVD was excellent, much better than the TV version. The wit is typically British and wonderful. Though I have seen all the episodes, I never tire of watching them again. I'm hoping to be just like Diana when I retire; just as outspoken and unflappable! A wonderful escape from the horrible choices on TV.

I Want To Be Diana When I Grow Up June 7, 2007
...and I'm working on it! I too will probably end up being the terror of some as-yet-unsuspecting "facility". Meanwhile, at 75, I'm working a job and a half, supporting myself and three cats, and thoroughly enjoying life and my friends.

This series does a wonderful job of pointing out that those of us who are "senior citizens" (I only use the term about myself when I want the discounts) are perfectly capable of living as useful citizens who can contribute their knowledge and experiences, have one whole hell of a lot of fun, and not have to be "managed".

Are Tom and Diana exaggerated? Probably. But they are great characters, perfectly cast. While enduring the physical infirmaties of age, they scheme relentlessly to outwit their relatives and the Bayview administration, giving us a hilarious and highly unorthodox view of aging. You will laugh yourself sore at their conversations and their adventures. You will also feel their deep concern for each other and their fellow residents, usually masked by outrageous actions and speech.

Some of the funniest moments occur when Diana "borrows" her niece's Porsche, Diana and Tom disrupt a boring christening, put on a great "senile" act for a visiting psychiatrist, and make hash out of the aspirations of a local politician. Never underestimate the power of an old lady hanging out of a helicopter doing aerial photography.

Why did it take so long for this series to be issued on DVD? Now that it has, let's hope we eventually have all of it available. Season 2, here I come! My trusty VISA card trembles in terror every time a bunch of these great British comedies makes it to DVDs.
