    This was the show that introduced me to Dame Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. As an American I've always loved British TV. This show is one of my favorites of all time. I love the tremendously skilled acting by everyone involved. And Jean and Lionel are so heart-warmingly wonderful.
    Rest in Peace Geoffrey. You touched so many lives with your acting. We all miss you.

    RIP Geoffrey Palmer. This show was a big part of my childhood. It was my Canadian introduction to British TV and my Mother and I would laugh about recalled scenes year later, right up until she passed. I still watch it now and think of her. Thanks for the memories.

    No annoying special effects or high powered visuals and background music, only sheer talent and beautifully scripted dialogue from two brilliantly talented actors, Dame Judy Dench and the wonderful Jeffrey Palmer. Production, direction and writing for this show was gold standard, oh how I miss those years watching this series on PBS with my beloved parents, now both passed.

    My 86-year-old father is a HUGE fan of this show, our local PBS station has been showing back-to-back episodes every Saturday night for at least 20 years, dad is right there in front of the TV every Saturday night at 7pm, he loves singing along with the opening/closing theme. It isn't Saturday night at our house w/out As Time Goes By. They used to show "Keeping Up Appearances," which he enjoyed as well, but PBS quit showing it years ago, he was so upset, but at least he can still watch ATGB.

    Beautiful show. My wife and I have been watching this show for many years since 2000 on PBS. We subscribed to Britbox just to watch this show and we watch even now almost everyday. It is refreshing and calming to see this show at these tough times of pandemic, political turmoil, public demonstrations, unrest, brush fires, hurricanes, flooding, thousands of people dying, unending barrage of news broadcasts from every channel with depressing news,...RIP Geoffrey Palmer. We will miss you forever.

      Yes, I loved this show. I had the full boxset and knew almost every word of every episode. It was lovely escapism, and just hearing the theme tune I could feel that my blood pressure was dropping and the world was (temporarily) all right. Brilliantly cast and acted.

    RIP Geoffrey Palmer. I haven't seen him on TV since I moved to the USA in 1979 but I remember when I lived in the UK he would pop up on TV in almost everything. The Avengers, The Saint, Dr. Who, Fawlty Towers and numerous series. A very versatile actor who could play any part convincingly and seemingly without effort.

    I LOVE this show. I so looked forwrd to this every sat night on the BBC. I became so involved in it and their lives I wanted to BE a part of it. Lol. So romantic. The one where they are in bed and Jean says "Lionel? I do" an he smiles and says "I do too " just makes me cry happy tears. I have this boxed set and I just love it. So sorry to hear Lionel(he will always be) is gone. I loved his sense of humor in a houseful of women, lol. Will NEVER be another.. 💔 the entire cast was wonderful.

    I would really like to go back and rewatch this in full. I'd catch the odd episode on PBS or BBC America now and then and it made me laugh. I remember one scene in particular where Lionel attempts to swear on the Bible to assert the truth about something, and Jean interrupts and notes "That's Winnie the Pooh."

    I have watched this series, every single episode, several times, and it always makes me laugh a bit...but also cry. Ms Dench does a terrific job in any production she appears in, and Mr Palmer sticks right with her whenever they appear together, but here...just perfect.
    Part of me wonders why this series was never adapted here in the 'states, perhaps making Vietnam " substitute " for Korea, but we have no American actors and actresses that can touch the folks in this excellent cast. 30 years ago maybe, maybe Carol Burnett and Walter Matheau could have come close.

      I saw that episode, but I chalked up the focus of that episode as an example of the British view that American tv " wastes " a lot money to produce junk. In the case of " As Time Goes By " and most other Britcoms, the salaries aren't as inflated as they are here. Most tv programming is paid for by license fees charged to viewers.
      If you have never seen him, I recommend you catch The Russell Howard Hour or Russell Howard Good News. He occasionally skeweres (sp?) British tv.

    You can tell when the BBC situation is desperate for money! They will sell the kitchen sink! So, where is Top Gear and the multi-million dollars BBC invested in. The BBC invested in popular programs and expect to milk it forever and a day. You cannot have a streak dinner and expect to eat the same meal forever! I remember in the American analog system were only advertisers pay for viewing and the audience just watched and marked the poll survey!
