Waiting for God (1990)
TV Show
First aired
Michael Aitkens set his sitcom in the Bayview retirement home and made the residents the troublemakers. Graham Crowden and Stephanie Cole play two retirees determined to grow old disgracefully, and Cole's acid-tongued Diana gets the best line in almost every scene.
It's a gentle studio comedy in form, but the joke lands on the people who patronize the elderly, never on the elderly themselves. A warmer companion piece if One Foot in the Grave appeals.
