Waiting for God

Tom is a reluctant new member of the Bayview Retirement Village. He meets Diana, a sharp-tongued spinster who lives next door. They strike up an uneasy alliance hinting at hilarious events to come.

Diana commandeers her niece's Porsche for a trip to Brighton and brings Tom along for company. By the time their journey ends, the police have been alerted about two renegade senior citizens on the loose in a sports car.

Diana has discovered that Tom won't leave his bed and protests that he is dying. Diana might not be the best to cheer up her friend. She admits to having last been happy herself in 1955.

Diana has a secret illness that Tom is afraid it may put her residential status in jeopardy. He conjures up an outrageous plan to blackmail the management of Bayview. Tom and Diana also disrupt the christening of Tom's great-nephew.

The arrival of a new matron at Bayview creates a great rift between Tom and Diana. The matron promptly gets rid of flower beds, removes the piano from the dining room and plots to have Diana voted out of the retirement home.

The Bayview management attempt to remove both Tom and Diana by having them certified. The psychiatrist passes them both as mentally sound even though Tom announces that he is Sir Edmund Hillary and has just conquered Everest.
