Customer Reviews of Waiting for God: Cheering Tom Up, Fraulein Miller, Power of Attorney
Can the laugh track What would have been a delight is totally ruined for me by the laugh track. It's so redunant. Are we stupid? Cannot we get the humor without being tweaked by fake laughter? What might have been very worthwhile is trashed by the interference of twits who don't trust an audience.
MORE!!!
There aren't enough episodes here to give the full effect that this show [Waiting for God] carries. It is worth a look, but having seen it you'll wish for more...
Best-Kept Britcom Secret = AGING WITH ATTITUDE
PLEASE don't be put off by the title - this is one of the best Britcoms to hit the US Shores.
This show is totally unique - set in the British retirement community of Bayview, and its inmates...er, residents, are taking steps to NOT gracefully fade away! It also has the advantage of being less silly than "Keeping Up Appearances."
I have never laughed aloud so much at a series as I have at the adventures of Stephanie Cole's Diana Trent (spinster & proud of it) and Graham Crowden's Tom (part-time bullfighter on the moon, when he wasn't digging out of Colditz with "Dickie and Johnny"), and their battles against Daniel Hill's "The Idiot Baines" and Janine Duvitski's love-starved Jane. Together with sex-fiend Basil and other inmates, and constantly thwarting the efforts of Tom's revolting family to control them (not to mention Harvey's plots to toss Diana out of the community), the antics are priceless.
I have been hunting for all 47 episodes of the show, which form a total story, with a beginning (Tom's arrival), a middle (the Scandal!), and an end (call it two weddings and a funeral - not the one released).
FINALLY six episodes (and slightly edited at that!) from the first series (season) were released on video; alas, the premiere was not among them. The two tapes of three episodes each are IT so far, at least commercially. Grab 'em while you can - and let's see if we can get BBC Video to release the whole thing (including a second Christmas special episode never shown in the US) on DVD!
Once you visit Bayview, you'll want to go back, and six times won't be enough!
