The fundamental things--engaging characters, impeccable performances, and witty, literate scripts--apply in As Time Goes By, the beloved 1992 British comedy series starring Dame Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer as former lovers Jean and Lionel. He is a divorced ex-army officer. She is a widow who runs the Type for You secretarial agency. They had "a great romance" during the Korean War, but they lost communication. Thirty-eight years later, the two run into each other again and rekindle what had been started so long ago. This series follows the two--along with Jean's twice-divorced daughter, Judith (Moira Brooker); Jean's assistant, Sandy (Jenny Funnell); and Lionel's young trendy publisher, Alastair (Philip Bretherton)--and takes a wry look at love among the youth and the more "mature." The first three episodes of the series introduce the slightly cantankerous yet vibrant characters, set up their history, and lay the groundwork for Jean and Lionel to tentatively circle around each other, trying to decide at what level they should continue their friendship, that is, if they should even continue being friends at all. Mixing modern romance with nostalgia for yesteryear, writer Bob Larbey and director Sydney Lotterby create a delightful comedy and a touching love story. At the beginning of the series' second season. Lionel has written a dry memoir, My Life in Kenya, and reluctantly prepares for the book launch. As the date approaches, the tentative couple have a too-close encounter with Penny (Moyra Fraser), Jean's former sister-in-law, who invites them to spend the weekend at her country home. Finally, My Life in Kenya is published and Lionel steels himself for the book signing, while an anxious Jean buys up 140 copies herself. These episodes bring the second season to a touching and satisfying conclusion.

 Absolutely delightful entertainment August 28, 2008
My wife and I enjoy this series immensely - we have traveled to Britain on 2 occasions, and we love the London backgrounds. The humor is tasteful and very fun - the characters are superb, and you will come to feel as though these are close friends, not just people acting a part...
As Time Goes By DVD Season 1 & 2 April 23, 2008
This is a great series which is well written and crafted. Built around a cst of excellent actors, Geoffrey Palmer and Judith Dench bring things to life with a zest and crispness that is to be watched over and over again.
Buy it. You won't regret the experience.

Unfortunately I am unable to provide a review of the DVD, as it will not play in my DVD player. I feel very fololish in ordering a DVD and not making sure it was compatible with Eurpoean DVD players...my first try, but unsuccesful, so now I need to find a way of returning and re-ordering...help!! I suppose I am wonderring whether this process is really worth the trouble or not...

a marriage made in heaven February 17, 2008
wonderful british romantic comedy. warm wit and wisdom - Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer are a perfect foil for each other as they build a love story in the great English tradition of verbal repartee.
 A good start to an excellent series. January 12, 2008
I bought the first two seasons for my mother for Christmas because she loves the series. I give these two seasons four out of five because the character and plot development started a little slow. It is still a good start to an excellent series.
