Waiting for God: Season Four (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Back to Bayview! The retirement complex for the almost dead, whose administrator (Harvey Bains, played by Daniel Hill) is constantly plagued by the antics of the two aging with attitude oldsters, Tom & Diana (Graham Crowden & Stephanie Cole). This is 'Round Four.' Score so far: Tom & Diana, 4; Harvey, 0. And so it continues. With interesting situations, snapppy dialogue, and remarkable characterizations, the battle continues. This is my all-time favourite BritCom, bar none.
This season marks the appearance - for the first time on this side of the Atlantic of which I am aware - of the second Christmas episode. According to my sources, Diana is chosen to direct a Christmas Pagent. (That is the working equivalent of putting Pontius Pilate in charge of a Hannukah Festival.)
If you have never "been to Bayview" DO NOT MAKE THIS YOUR FIRST SET OF DISCS. Start at the beginning, with Season (Series) One, episode one ("Arrival.") Jumping in here would not only confuse, but spoil the fun of getting to know Tom & Diana as those of us who have followed their adventures have. The show has a definite beginning, middle, and end. Oddly enough, I was first introduced to the unlikely pair through the episode "The Seance," and my host had to explain way too much to me, although I did about die laughing. You will too, regardless of what episode you watch; however, as a WFG veteran, I do strongly recommend viewing in order.
Bayview - there really should be one at the end of every acacia avenue! My highest recommendation goes to the entire series. I can't wait for the final episode of the final season. Too bad BBC saw fit to release the discs with agonizing (for us) slowness.
Here's to Tom & Diana - long may they plot!

Coupling - The Complete Second Season (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this up the day it was released. Yes, you can watch "Coupling" on BBC America, but these DVD's are worth it, because they still edit some content for time. With Season 2, you get the following 9 episodes:
THE MAN WITH TWO LEGS: Jeff finally works up the nerve to approach a girl on the tube whose leg he's been gawking at each day. Will he blow it with another one of his bumbling lines?
MY DINNER IN HELL: Steve bumps into a television presenter he's always fantasized about, and Jane has a fool-proof hairbrained scheme that she swears will help she and Sally meet her.
HER BEST FRIENDS BOTTOM: Steve makes a surprise visit at Susan's apartment, thinking it is she in the shower. It's Sally, and the entire episode revolves around that fact that Steve saw her bottom.
THE MELTY MAN COMETH: Will Patrick and Sally finally come together? If Patrick doesn't stop "failing" then perhaps they can!
JANE AND THE TRUTH SNAKE: In possibly one of the funniest episodes ever, Jane loses her job as traffic reporter. Never fear! She has a career plan up her sleeve that involves children's entertainment and a sock puppet. That's all I'll say.
GOTCHA: One year after their first date, a wedding invite is sent to Steven and Susan. Steve, of course, panics into thinking Susan will now pe expecting a proposal herself.
DRESSED: The meaning of Jane's invite to a dinner date is misunderstood, and she shows up naked under her coat. When she arrives to a flat full of guests, she has to do some quick thinking (rather a lot for Jane, really!).
NAKED: Jeff's 30th birthday is coming, and his workmates have planned a surprise celebration for him. Again, invites are misunderstood and Jeff ends up stripping down naked in front of his workmates...and his parents!
THE END OF THE LINE: Steve and Susan both assume aliases to swap phone numbers with other people in a bar, but the hilarity ensues when they realize it's with each other!
Extras include more interviews with the cast and executive producer. What they really need is some outtakes, because I have a feeling they'd be hilarious! Worth every penny.

The picturesque Pennine village of Holmfirth in the Yorkshire Dales is the setting for this vintage comedy, which first began life in 1973. This is Brontë country miles and miles of unspoilt moorland and a breath-taking backdrop to the antics of our ageing delinquents and their demented friends. Last of the Summer Wine has a strong ensemble cast of characters, though there has always been a central trio.
