'May To December' 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 that's exactly what it 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 this. It was popular enough to last for a six season run. Eve Matheson left after series two and was replaced by Lesley Dunlop.
All of 'May To December' is now on DVD and recently was repeated on Forces TV.
