I've only recently got into this show (thanks to that fantastic TV channel, Paramount Comedy 2). My wonderful mother got this DVD and I spent last night (or maybe "this morning" - it was after midnight!) watching these classic episodes. (Maybe not such a good idea to start watching when one has to get up in the morning... )
I love this show - I love the humour, the writing and the cast. And I am hoping that DVDs for the subsequent series will shortly be released - I am ready and waiting, my "Add To Cart" finger is primed... ;)
Very highly recommended from me!

An excellent DVD which leaves the viewer wondering why subsequent series are not available on DVD at present. Each episode is titled using song titles which is a nice twist. Suitable for the family to watch together, funny with a real feel good factor.

I am another one of 'those' Americans that prefer British television. I first saw May to December in 2005 when our local public television station ran the first 2 series. I really loved it from the first episode. Anton Rogers is a delight as is Eve Matheson. The supporting cast is also very good and the scripts are both believable, funny and heartwarming.
I am disappointed to see that only the first two series are available on DVD. I have never seen Leslie Dunlop in the role of Zoe as our local station only showed what is available on DVD. So for now I will make due with series 1 and 2.
Purchasing a PAL enabled DVD player to use with my multi system capable plasma display was a smart move. Most Americans do not realize that PAL is a much superior format to our NTSC system and with much higher resolution. It helps these older programs really shine and has made a real PAL disc collector out of me. May to December is no exception and features a very nice video presentation considering indoor shots were done on video tape with outdoor locations done on film as seems to be the case with most 'Brit Coms' I have seen. Our American DVD sets do not come close to approaching this level of quality.
I hope in future that I will be able to see how Alec and Zoe's relationship develops with the release of Series 3 and beyond. I am holding out hope that may happen at some point.
March 26, 2010 UPDATE: After contacting Acorn Media I was unhappy to find out they have "no plans whatsoever" to release the remaining 4 Series of this program. Phooey! At least they personally answered my email but now I will never know what happened to Alec and Zoe without reading the online spoilers.

Good Entertainment
Saw this on TV many years ago and was concerned that it may not have held up, but it is even more current to today as well as hilariously funny. I recommend this to one and all.

A British Comedy Must Have
