Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Steohanie Cole is a national treasure. She is adept at drama (watch Tenko) as with comedy. She and Grahame Crowden have created the perfect odd couple of the geratrics generation.
While most seniors go gently into the night, not Tom and Diana. They are not going to let the establishment (The Idiot Baines) push them around because they are old.
Tom and Diana have been battling the establishment and Harvey Baines for two series and now for the third round. Series 3 contains the following 10 episodes and a Christmas special:
The Funeral - The Vicar is suffering from burn-out and cannot even get through a funeral. So he goes to Bayview to get some rest but Tom has an idea to help. Tom points his alcoholic/oversexed daughter-in-law Marion his way. But Marion and Vicar run together.
Two Nasty Kids - Geoffrey decides to run after Marion and presses Tom and Diana into babysitting his two kids (Tom's grandchildren).
Looking for Work - Diana decides to look for a job. But at her age, it is easier said than done.
Harvey's Fiancee - Harvey finds Ms. Right (Lucy) and wants to intoduce her to Mother. But Tom and Diana decide it would be fun to pretend to be Harvey's parents. After they run off Lucy, Harvey has Jane pretend to be his fiancee when Mother arrives.
The Estate Agent - Harvey gets entangled with a beautiful estate agent, who turns out to be even more unscrupulous than Harvey. It takes the dynamic geriatric duo to uncover her evil plot.
Scandal - Following a wild wake, Diana wakes up in Tom's bed.
Sabotage - When Harvey "borrows" the money from the vacation fund for his new pet project, it is up to Tom and Diana to correct this.
Politics - Diana is bored, so she puts herself up for counsel. Harvey also decides to run for the same office. And Tom decides it would be fun to make it three.
Sleeping Pills - Diana collapses and is rushed to the hospital. She thinks she is dying and wants to do it on her terms.
Great Aunt Diana - Tom and Diana hijack a bus (the driver would not let them in early even though it is raining.) Diana's niece Sarah is pregnant.
Christmas at Bayview - This is the show's first Christmas special.
This show is extremely popular on PBS. Thank-you BBC for this wonderful show. No US network would have the guts to make this show.
Three series down one to go!!

At the Bayview Retirement Village the elderly are expected to grow old gracefully, enjoying their final years in peace, quiet and comfort…but not if Tom (Graham Crowden) and Diana (Stephanie Cole) have anything to do with it! Meet two elderly eccentrics who refurse to up with the appaling food and condescending staff in the hilariously cynical BAFTA-nominated comedy that won Stephanie Cole a British Comedy Award in 1992.
