Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer continue their prickly but loving affair in the eighth and ninth series of As Time Goes By. Young lovers reunited 38 years after a lost letter ended their relationship, Jean (Dench, Shakespeare in Love, Iris) and Lionel (Palmer, He Knew He Was Right) have settled into cozy married life, but that doesn't stop Jean from meddling right and left with the lives of the younger folk around them--Jean's daughter Judy (Moira Brooker), her best friend Sandy (Jenny Funnell), and Lionel's wealthy and excitable publisher Alistair (Philip Bretherton). After eight years, you'd expect a sitcom to be played out, but As Time Goes By sustains its spark; it helps that British comedy-makers don't crank out dozens of mediocre episodes each season, but instead pour as much imagination and humanity as they can into a handful. The six episodes of Season eight are straightforward, with stories revolving around such tidbits as a lost dog or Jean's efforts to get on the Internet, but the simplicity of the plots only lets the rich rapport between Dench and Palmer be the show's true subject. The four-episode 9th and final season not only maintains quality but even picks up energy from bringing a satisfying resolution to the characters, with proposals and weddings skillfully managed by the man who wrote the entire series, Bob Larbey. He must have felt like he was bringing an enormous novel to a close, yet he avoided the temptation to go for some kind of spectacle, ending the show with the same basic pleasures of human foibles with which he began. This is obviously not the ideal starting point for a newcomer (though the show's tart but gentle humor is always accessible and enjoyable), but for any long-time fan, these final seasons will prove warmly satisfying. --Bret Fetzer

Best thing to come out of Britain since afternoon tea.... February 14, 2008
We were first introduced to this show by my wife's parents. We absolutely fell in love with the entire cast and the storyline of the show. When we got season's 8&9 we drove over to their house and made a day of watching. This is, by far, some of the best entertainment to come along in years and is well worth the time and money to purchase and view the entire series. Spend a day drinking tea and eating custard tart's with Lionel, Jean and the rest...

Sad to see it go. January 1, 2008
What an endearing show this is. I continue to watch this series over and over and never get tired of it. I sometimes wonder if I need therapy trying to accept that it is only a television show and now it is no longer in production. It's that good and the characters (actors) make it so real and so warming. Series 8 and 9 really keep up the pace with the rest of the series. Never tiring and always fresh and funny. Honestly it does not end leaving you too sad that it is over. Watch it for yourself. You will be glad you did!

The best in the series. November 24, 2007

This is the culmination of a good series. The language is facinating to listen to and the happy ending makes it enjoyable.

Funny Love May 12, 2007
I have enjoyed the complete "As Time Goes By" series from British Telecom because it is a truly funny tale of a tragic early love affair reunited at a relatively late age. The characters are strong resulting in lots of humerous adventures.
