I actually have a complaint about "As Time Goes By," the British comedy about a second chance at love and laughter starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. I cannot stand the laugh track. In the opening minute of Episode 1 the laugh track is employed several times and I am wondering what I missed that was so funny. On more than one occasion in my life I have been the only one laughing in a theater at something, and I laugh all the time while watching shows on television alone down here in my little office, so I do not need to be prompted on when to laugh at something. For a while I thought maybe I did not appreciate the British sense of humor as much as I thought I did, but I am pretty sure that is not the case. The bottom line is that "As Time Goes By" does not need the bloody laugh track.
The premise of the show reminds me a bit of "Love Among the Ruins," except that Dench and Palmer are not nearly as old as Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier. During the Korean War a dashing young British Army officer and a lovely student nurse fell in love and then he was shipped off to the war. Lionel and Jean were star crossed, at least as far as the mails were concerned, and for forty years they have been wondering why the other one did not respond to their love letter.
Volume 1 offers up the first three episodes of the series from the 1993 season. Episode 1 has Lionel, now a divorced coffee planter, taking up residence at a London hotel to finish his memoir about his life in Kenya, entitled, "My Life in Kenya." He needs a temporary secretary and hires one from a local agency, never suspecting that it is owned by his former sweetheart, the now widowed Jean. However, Jean’s daughter Judith (Moira Brooker) is able to figure out enough to put two and two together. That becomes Jean’s primary concern in Episode 2, as she does her best to play matchmaker for her mother and Lionel. At least the two end up actually spending time talking to one another. Episode 3 finds Jean and Lionel spending the day together revisiting the romantic places of their past. Of course, nothing is the same after forty years.
"As Time Goes By" is a romantic comedy where the best comedy comes out of the romance, even if at this point it is simply memories of a romance long past. The supporting characters are mostly comic foils and minor impediments to Lionel and Jean trying to rekindle their old magic. But writer Bob Larbey and Producer/Director Sydney Lotterby are in no hurry to rush this renewed relationship or our enjoyment of it. Do you think that someday if this was put out on a DVD it could have an audio option that would ditch the laugh track?pending time talking to one another.

This is the very beginning of a series that will knock your socks off. Dame Judi Dench plays Jean, a very strong, witty, and sexy older woman. Geoffrey Palmer portrays Lionel, a frustrating but lovable older man with a quick sarcastic wit. If you like British sitcoms, light comedies, soap operas, and good story lines, then you will like \\”As Time Goes By\\”. Volume 1 sets up the series and gives you the premise of the story. The series gets increasingly better, and draws you in. It’s really refreshing to see lovers that are older and realistic. Give this a try, you won’t be sorry.
Witty, erudite, sensitive and incredibly funny, Dench and Palmer are perfectly matched in this "real people" British comedy. "Frasier" fans will love it.
I so enjoy this show , I first seen this on the BBC I thought
it was very refreshing and enjoyable and funny , I think the
acting is great . I love Judi Dench as Jean and Geoffrey Palmer
as Lionel they are great together . Most of the time there
nothing good on TV so I just put in As Time Goes By and watch
it over & over . Yes I plan on buying volume 2 & 3 and so on.
I just hope in future we will see more of Jean & Lionel .
Leave it to the BBC to cover a subject in a sitcom that American TV probably wouldn’t consider (or do well), a romance between a couple over fifty years of age. I like the fact that the couple reunited after discovering they parted due to a misunderstanding years before. The show doesn’t depend on a lot of flash to get by; it’s just a smart, gentle comedy.
I have dropped in on this series a number of times in the last year, but not understanding the plot thought, "Funny, I wish I understood what was going on." Well now I do and I wonder why British TV caters to people with a high school education and American TV hopes you have graduated 6th grade. Incredible acting…the characters talk to each other…not the camera. Still somewhat absurd…but true life can be a bit absurd if you are not in a rut. Judi Dench tends to get the attention but I find myself in utter love with Lionel…Geoffrey Palmer. He somehow makes himself incredibly attractive by portraying Lionel as crusty but incredibly vulnerable…a tough characterization.
I have bought all the videos that are available, but I want to see more….Lionel and Jean get married…Lionel and Jean meet his ex-wife. I hope the series enjoys a rejuvenation in America. It rates 1050% compared to American sitcoms. I actually feel my intelligence and vocabulary are being honored…not to mention my age, which is no where near Jean and Lionel’s. You Brits have been lucky with this one…I turn into a romantic sop when I watch it…and I enjoy it. More videos please and salutations to Dame Judi and Geoffrey!
If you enjoy good dialogue and don’t experience withdrawal pangs due to the total lack of video game visuals you just can’t help loving this video. If I had to pick a single series to watch, AS TIME GOES BY would definitely be my choice. This video sets the characters and tone of the entire series and is just plain fun. There are plenty of giggles, chuckles and some real guffaws in each episode. The characters are well developed and just eccentric enough to be appealing. It appears that the writers and producers of this one know what they did right. You will too when you see it.
This is my absolute favorite of the Britcoms. I discovered it on my local PBS station 3 or 4 years ago and gradually became totally hooked by the excellent acting and intelligent writing. This series has spoiled me for the mindless American comedy drivel we get most of the time–with one or two exceptions. What a treat to see Dame Judi playing so well off the low-keyed, droopy-faced, Geoffrey Palmer. He is absolutely ‘brilliant’–as they say on the other side of the pond. If you’re looking for intelligent romantic comedy, and enjoy the wry-on-toast British style, you’ll like this series.
Yes, we were all would love to live in that household! Sandy should never move out after Judy marries Alistar! (Will we ever see a little Alistar, Jr.?) After immersing oneself in these shows you feel as if you know these wonderful people! Not only is it the most romantic comedy/drama ..dialogue ;not leaving out the exquisite English vocabulary..but how would you love to reside in Jean’s kitchen forever and one could die in Lionel’s manor kitchen. This tape(s) are a must for all Brit Com fans and absolutely a must to introduce anyone to British tele… Hope they make more and more…one cannot get enough of this excellent show!
As a long standing fan of British Comedies (or "Britcoms" as they are referred to on BBC America) this series is one of my personal favourites. In it, we meet Lionel and Jean. The pair (superbly played by Geoffrey Palmer and Judi Dench)were once lovers during the Korean conflict. Many years later, they rediscover each other. Their life together from that point is the basis of this wonderful show. To enjoy the series, you must have a varied sense of humour. You must also understand Geoffrey Palmer’s very wry humour. Slapstick comedy is virtually nonexistent. So if you don’t care for any other type of humour, this series is not for you. This series is for people like myself who like Judi Dench, semi-serious shows, and a bit of romance mixed in. If you enjoy any of the above, this wonderful series is for you. My recommendation is to watch it on the BBC America network (for those of you fortunate enough to have a satelite). See if you enjoy it. If you do, then buy a few of the volumes from here. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
