Geoffrey Palmer and Judi Dench |
No, this is not a website for the song! Those of you who have heard my gushing over the past year know that "As Time Goes By" is the absolutely wonderful BBC comedy starring Oscar-winning Dame Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love") and Geoffrey Palmer. Dench and Palmer star as Jean Pargetter and Lionel Hardcastle, a student nurse and an Army officer and who met and fell in love during the Korean war. They were separated, but meet again 38 years later. The series follows their reunion and rekindling of the flame. Written by Bob Larbey, the show began airing in England on the BBC in 1992. "As Time Goes By" is currently shown on PBS stations in the US. I was fortunate enough to catch an episode in the middle of the 4th season. I was struck by the intelligence and wit in the writing - it reminds me of "Frasier" - but it's even better! I have been hopelessly hooked ever since. Eight seasons have aired in the UK and US so far. Reportedly, a ninth season will begin taping Spring 2002. |

April
1998, I started a mailing list for fans of
"As Time Goes By."
It includes archives, an updated calendar, a chatroom, files and a database.
It has become more
popular than our wildest dreams
(i.e. it's a high-traffic list!),
but you can join the digest version and receive mail once or twice a
day.
I am no longer the owner or moderator, but the list is still going strong.
