Novelization of the BBC Series by the Same Name

Although, in specific details, this book does not follow the television series entirely, it is still a worthwhile read; and provides readers with various details about the characters which the TV series does or could not, due to the limitations of the medium (characther depth, etc.). The book is basically a novelization of 10 choice episodes from the first 2 series of Waiting for God, the BAFTA-nominated television series about the misadventures of two OAPs (Old Age Pensioners), Tom Ballard & Diana Trent. If you are a fan of British Comedy, this book is definitely for you--regardless of whether you've seen the TV series (shown on PBS in the US) or not.
