May To December

May to December is a British sitcom which ran for 39 episodes, from 2 April 1989 to 27 May 1994 on BBC1. The series was written by Paul Mendelson and produced by Cinema Verity.

Set in Pinner, London, it revolved around the romance between a widowed solicitor, Alec Callender, played by veteran television actor Anton Rodgers, and a much younger woman, Zoë Angell, played by Eve Matheson in seasons one and two and by Lesley Dunlop in seasons three through six. Matheson left after the second series due to an offer of a world tour with the National Theatre, including playing Cordelia in King Lear.

The title of the show comes from the Anderson-Weill song "September Song", which is sung during the credits.

The titles of all of the episodes of May To December are taken from songs. Most are from musicals, reflecting Alec and Zoë's mutual interest, but some later ones are hits from the 50s and 60s.
