This episode gives us Dr. Hartley's therapy group for people over 65. At the same time, Carol's replacement, the wonderful Debbie, looks to be the same age as those in this group. I spent about 10 minutes on IMDB to find that the three older females, two in the group and Debbie, were all between age 50 and 56 IRL.
I find the actual age of actors playing the parts of older characters interesting. It seems in today's media we get less of this sort of casting, slightly older people playing substantially older characters. Odd when actors are seen as too old to play characters who are their own actual age.
We get no real over 65 type issues, but they couldn't resist the urge to go for those dementia laughs. Poor Debbie can't remember squat. Shouldn't Bob be professionally interested in a person like Debbie?
So the old folks on this episode are the three women each with a long list of IMDB credits and one man whose only credit is on the BNS. His age is not revealed but he looks at least 70. How do you get your first part at that age and then get so many lines?
This 7's for Debbie.
