Wordiezett So much average

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

RaspberryLucozade Like with 'Duty Free' and 'Brush Strokes', I only got into this show about ten years ago when it was shown on the Paramount Comedy channel. It was a pleasingly gentle show which marked a return to television for comedy veteran Anton Rodgers, who at this time was also starring in another sitcom for ITV - 'French Fields' ( a sequel to the earlier 'Fresh Fields' ). Anton paired up with the gorgeous Eve Matheson to play a couple of whom between them is a massive age gap. If to you it all sounds like fluff, then it is, but then that was what its charm was.Alec Callender is a Scottish solicitor and 'Perry Mason' fan who has been widowed for some time and wishes for some excitement in his life. All this changes when he meets and falls in love with beautiful P.E teacher Zoe Angell whilst handling her divorce. Due to the large age-gap between Alec and Zoe ( him being 53 to her 26 ), the latter's family, particularly Zoe's brassy mother Dot, do not particularly approve of the relationship. All this aside, the relationship seems to be built on solid ground.Alec has two children, Jamie and Simone, him being outgoing and brash and her being the stuck-up wife of a vicar, who dislikes Zoe. The only one who seems to be at ease with the relationship is Zoe's sister Debbie.Alec's senior secretary is Vera, who without anyone's knowledge is the writer of a steamy novel. She shares and office with junior secretary Hilary ( the lovely Rebecca Lacey ) whose seems to use her brain as a cushion. She was later replaced by Ashley Jensen as Rosie.Paul A. Mendelson specialised in devising average unexceptional sitcoms such as 'My Hero', 'So Haunt Me' and this. It was popular enough to last for a respectable six season run. Anton Rodgers was brilliant as Alec and brought the character to life with his wonderfully convincing Scottish accent. Eve Matheson portrayed Zoe in the first two seasons but was replaced for the remainder of the run by Lesley Dunlop but it was not quite the same. Good actress though Lesley is and as much as she did her best, Matheson was superior.Christine Cotteril also was fantastic as Zoe's open minded sister, as were Carolyn Pickles and Paul Venables as Alec's children. 'Love Thy Neighbour' star Kate Williams was funny in those episodes she did as Zoe's mum. Frances White though was too boring to be funny as Vera.All of 'May To December' is now on DVD and makes for enjoyable viewing for us people who love to just stay in and watch the telly with a cup of hot chocolate.

davjazzer This is a very delightful series.After going thru the series twice, I prefer Eve Matheson's portrayal of Zoe over Leslie Dunlop. Leslie was very lovely and a fine actress,but I thought her character was a little too snippy and combative with Alec.Perhaps the writers felt that was necessary as the couple married and had a child. Eve's portrayal was lighter and sweeter and she and Alec always had some nice laughs. Both ladies were very attractive and played their part well.The other supports were excellent.The only character I couldn't take was Rosie, the sectary in the last season.Her accent and acting were too over the top.Anton Rogers was excellent.A wonderful show.Hope it goes to DVD shoo

knightem Maryland Public Television ran "May to December" for some six weeks. I thought it the wittiest and most intelligent program on television, bar none. Then they took it off without explanation. I'm furious! Aside from public television, there is precious little on TV that's worth watching. Thus, I truly look forward to the few programs I enjoy and respect. Granted the station may have had a good reason for terminating the show, or may have moved it to another schedule, but I have not been able to unearth that information. MPT does not have a mechanism by which one can complain. Can anyone tell me where (outside of a DVD; I haven't one), one can find it? The people on M-T-D are among the nicest I've ever seen on TV. They're too dear to give up lightly. Help. Knightem.

carthage-1 The secrectary pleayed by the lovely Rebecca Lacey - and she said to Miss Flood in one episode Hell have no fury like a woman's corns Instead of Woman Scorned hilariousIt was a delightful comedy and as as been said - a great shame that it is not available on DVD - Miss flood trying desperately to get her young secrectary into line and to behave as one should and Zoe trying to get her man up to date with life - The Garfudge - i.e. the garage in an advertisement for a house that they were buying was typical gentle humour Another classic comment - How can I have any pride when I support Partick Thislte
