I saw this AM that this wonderful BBC series is being released FINALLY. If you've never seen it, rent it! It's one of those series that BBC does so well on a subject America's Media Elite wouldn't touch with a 10 Lightyr pole....
"WFG" is a comedy about the inhabitants of a retirement home. The central storyline is the gradual romance between an Atheistic "Woman of Action" and a Polyanish Accountant.Think "Hogan's Heroes" where the Allied Prisoners are simply locked up because they're old. At least the "Terrible Twosome" don't blow anything up;>.
It is a Funny, Sweet and Thoughtful series on what the lives of the Elderly have become in the Industrialized World. As Diana, the Acid-tongued journalist points out repeatedly, she'd be better treated and respected in a mud hut. "Primitive Peoples need Wisdom, Modern peoples avoid it"....
Cheers,
Pat
