There is a British show called "As Time Goes By" where, in one episode, the main male character is trying to have a photo taken in one of those photo booths (either for a passport or a book cover). He is harrassed
by a group of younger people who are apparently from "the continent."
I often picture those kids when the Nodelist Police come up. Well,
them or Bib Fortuna from "Return of the Jedi." :D
Hahahahaha, yeah they're like mosquitoes at the BBQ, can't get rid of
the irritating pests. I probably shouldn't engage them, but sometimes I can't help myself... ;-)

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I was introduced via Netmail
to one of those BBQ pests as someone who was highly skilled in programming, engineering, Ham radio, a scientist... really had it
shoved down my throat in an introduction how smart the guy was and how
he was one to be respected.
Didn't take long to figure out that he's a savant, as in, ZERO
personality or social skills. Surprised he was even married, to a human female no less. In every interaction he must be right and shove
something down your throat, right down to cherrypicking quote-wars.. usually over something stupid.
Surprisingly he has me in his twit filter and went crying to ZC2 a few times because I hurt his feelings. This is someone much older and
likely more educated than I am yet self-implodes when faced with a
giant middle finger.
Dutch farts may be ignored but the smell lingers badly.

Ah, yes. With Dame Judy Dench. Funny show. I still have the first episode save
on our DVR from when it was on the local Public Broadcasting station, along with "Are You Being Served?" "Don't worry about the long sleeves. They'll ride
up with wear." "And I am unanimous in that!"
LOL, that show is a classic, especially when Misses Slocomb goes on
about her cat. :D
If you also watched "Keeping Up Appearances," FYI Dame Patricia
Routledge passed away earlier this month. She was 96, I think.

well as The Good Neighbours (The Good Life), Doc Martin, All Creatures
Great and Small, Heartbeat and Father Brown..

I don't remember seeing any of those. There was one that takes place in a senior center, but I can't remember the name of it or any of the characters. Sadly, the local PBS station no longer carries any of them, but many live on on YouTube, and on streaming services like Britbox.

This one?
Waiting for God (BBC, 1990-1994)
Setting: Bayview Retirement Home.
Premise: Two spirited elderly residents - Tom (Graham Crowden)
and Diana (Stephanie Cole) - rebel against the patronizing
management and refuse to "grow old gracefully."
Tone: Sharp, witty, and a bit dark; a satire on aging and bureaucracy.
Why it fits: Entirely set in a seniors' residence, with lots of
ensemble interaction among the elderly residents and staff.

Waiting for God! Another clasic.
One of my favorite scenes is where someone mentions Einstein in front
of Harvey Baines, who runs the center. Assuming the person is talking about a resident, Harvey utters the line quoted in my tagline. ;)
If I remember correctly, he was tight with his spending on the residents. You almost felt sorry for Harvey's assistant.
I'll have to see if I can find any episodes online somewhere. I have too many streaming subscriptions, though, to start another one.
Doc Martin is one of my favorites. I have not seen the original All Creatures but am enjoying the current one.

I saw the original one from the 70s and I like it better than the new one.
I lost a huge collection of saved shows when the recorder
on my Satellite TV system fried a few weeks back, so I've
been watching a lot of mostly older movies. I actually
rarely watch movies unless they are well known ones I've
been hoping to see. I always find when I'm watching pretty
much any movie they put on TV that I'm amazed at how many
of them are really pretty bad, even ones with well known
actors in them.
BTW.. If it sounds like I Live for TV, I actually only
watch TV for about 3 hours in the evening, other than
catching the news when having lunch. I spend a lot more
hours reading than watching TV.
Yes, I watched the original All Creatures back when it was current,
ot at least current rebroadcast in Canada. When the new version came
out I first wasn't that impressed but it grew on me over time.
There wasn't anything wrong with it, I was just used to the old
show's characters and you can be slow to accept a remake.
Sort of like Heartbeat. It is still pretty good but the two main
characters that it started with are long gone. If I recall, in
one episode they said that they had moved to Canada.. B)

The Dukes of Hazzard also did that for one season before the original
Duke Boys returned. I was reminded of that this weekend... I was at
the annual festival in my father's hometown and two of the guests of
honor were "Coy Duke" and "Bo Duke"... Bo being one of the originals,
and Coy being his temporary replacement. ;)
On our PBS affiliate network, they ran a show during their fundraisers that touched on some differences between the current series vs. the
book, but I was curious about the original series. For some reason,
I got the impression it might have been more of a comedy than the
current one.
