The scheming Baines strikes.
Sleepin_Dragon1 July 2023
Harvey has a bright Idea, of bringing in a group of youths to help encourage the residents and lift their spirits, of course he has an ulterior motive, he's bribed one or them to plot Diana's exit from the home.

A grand episode, series 2 is full of classic episodes, and this is yet another. I really did enjoy this one, an imaginative, creative plot, just when you think Baines is doing well for the community, behaving like a decent human being, he can't help but show his true, conniving nature.

Favourite scene had to be Jane getting Harvey's attention, dolled up in her best frock.

It was great seeing a different side to Diana, Bob is one of the only people who managed to engage with her, and make her smile to boot.

Jo Stone-Fewings is excellent as the young heartthrob Bob, who wouldn't have fallen in love with that face.

8/10.

As usual, Harvey Idiot Baines is scheming to get rid of Diana.
planktonrules3 December 2023
The idiot Baines is once again scheming to get rid of Diana. What makes this time more interesting is that he APPEARS to be doing something nice in the episode by inviting young people to come to Bayview to enrich the lives of the old folks. But what Harvey really is up to is that he's paid one of the young folks to seduce Diana...so that he'd have an excuse to throw her out of Bayview. While the plan seems VERY unlikely, Diana and this man, Bob, DO hit it off very well and Diana's usual crabbiness vanishes. So what comes of this plan? See the show and find out for yourself.

This is a funny and clever episode...even though the notion of Diana and a handsome young man scoring seems utterly ridiculous. Well worth seeing.
