S5.E1 ∙ After the Operation

Wed, Sep 07, 1994

Diana visits Tom in hospital. His operation to clear his prostate cancer has been a success and he returns to Bayview with her. Unfortunately, Geoffrey has had yet another falling-out with Marion and decides that he wants to move in with Tom--and Diana--again. Meanwhile, Harvey is rejected by an exclusive golf club because he isn't married.

S5.E2 ∙ The Bayview Conservation Society

Wed, Sep 14, 1994

Baines is hiring Mr. Nakamura, a Japanese hotel consultant, to advise on the building of a new space-saving wing to be built at Bayview--enabling him to pack in more residents. Tom starts the Bayview Conservation Society and eventually enlists Diana to demonstrate that any such building would damage the wildlife and the natural environment, thus stopping the plan from going ahead. Jane and Geoffrey get close, and Marion and Harvey get intimate, more down to her desperation than his enthusiasm as she initially mistook him for Geoffrey.

S5.E3 ∙ A Royal Visit?

Wed, Sep 21, 1994

A letter from the mayor's office suggests that a royal personage will be gracing Bayview with a visit. Diana, already even more crotchety than ever because of a painfully swollen foot, doesn't share his monarchist views and holds forth on the pointlessness of the royals. Just as predictably the royal visit turns out to be far less "royal" than expected.

S5.E4 ∙ Diana's Diet

Wed, Sep 28, 1994

Diana's foot shows no sign of healing and Tom is anxious for her to see a doctor. For all of her brash facade she is reluctant to seek medical advice in case she is given the worst possible scenario. However, she complies--and is told that she has diabetes and must alter her diet. A relieved Tom proposes. Harvey also proposes to Jane to get his golf club membership, but she turns him down.

S5.E5 ∙ Trouble with Men

Wed, Oct 05, 1994

Following their respective marriage proposals, Diana and Jane are both taken aback by the bizarre ways of men. Tom's proposal to Diana has brought on a shock and she collapses and is taken to hospital. Jane's decision that she will become a nun after all has tempted Harvey to consider joining the priesthood.

S5.E6 ∙ Harvey the Priest

Wed, Oct 12, 1994

A combination of genuine feelings for Jane, whom he is used to having around, plus the desire to join the golf club, causes Baines to become a priest of the Order of the Flaming Sword of Las Vegas--by post. He proposes, and this time Jane accepts. Jane thinks Diana should accept Tom, who is now taking driving lessons to impress her. He has an accident and Diana must bail him out--and deal with meeting arresting officer Sergeant Watt. Diana still refuses to marry Tom, so he contemplates very drastic action.

S5.E7 ∙ Bungee Jumping

Wed, Oct 19, 1994

While planning his pre-nuptial agreement with an eager Jane, Harvey is told that he is not a proper priest and that any attempts he makes to get money from his ordination will lead to fraud charges. Diana is delighted, of course, but she has more pressing matters: Tom's threatened bungee-jump. She agrees to marry him if only to stop the jump from going ahead but insists on her own pre-nuptial conditions.

S5.E8 ∙ A Double Wedding?

Wed, Oct 26, 1994

After confiding her doubts about marriage to Sarah, Diana has a raucous hen night with male strippers while Tom's stag night is much, much tamer. The befuddled Dennis Sparrow is to conduct the two wedding ceremonies separately, but a double-booking involving a funeral puts a double wedding on the cards after all--despite Marion's efforts to sabotage the Trent-Ballard union. How will it turn out?
