Home > Waiting for God

Waiting for God was the name of a situation comedy shown on BBC1 between 1990 and 1994.

It starred Stephanie Cole and Graham Crowden as two spirited residents of an old folks' home who spent their time running rings around the home's oppressive management and their own families.

Cole played Diana Trent, a retired photojournalist who found herself consigned to the Bayview retirement home by her family after a career documenting some of the twentieth century's most dangerous places. Her frustration at being consigned to years of being alternately patronised and ignored is soon channelled into bitingly sarcastic comments and attempts to subvert the regime of the retirement home.

Crowden played Tom Ballard, a kindly but deluded old buffer whose increasingly eccentric behaviour leads his daughter-in-law and henpecked son to move him in next door to Diana.

The two soon find that together they are able to wreak havoc amongst the younger staff and management in the home as Tom's optimistic and cheery demeanour along with his unusual excursuses neatly cover Diana's sabotage.

The sitcom ran for five series and was written by Michael Aitkens.
