5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Telly !, 6 Jun 2007
First of all, Im not who As Time Goes By is aimed at. Im twenty years old and have been a fan since I was 11 years old, when I stumbled over an episode from series seven. Over the next few weeks i tuned in and was extremely disappointed when at the end of that series they said another series would follow, NEXT YEAR!

Since then I have been a fan, (I was too young to enjoy the first few series as I would have just started primary school when they first aired) as soon as the box set was released I snapped them up.

I was quite unfamiliar with the beginning of the Jean and Lionel story, how they got back into contact after 38 years parted.

Series 1

Sets up allot of the back story to the couple, and some of Judy's history which gets left behind in later series. Philip Bretherton (Alistair) is funny from the word go, especially good at the party (which also has a lovely bit of interplay between jean and Lionel surrounded by what they call "children") and when trying to seducing Jean in Norwich. The series ends nicely with Alistair fancying Jean and Judy making eyes at Lionel, to solve the situation Jean results to a little matchmaking of her own.


Worth every penny!

2.0 out of 5 stars Where to Begin..., 25 May 2007
Many things irritated me about this show-not least, the main characters--they were always bickering about the most petty things, I suppose their "banter" was supposed to be witty. Their self-righteous smugness also irritated me to no end---so many episodes showed them being pitted against people whom they would end up "telling off" for their political incorrectness. Everyone around them was apparently not up to their standards--either too boring, or bigoted, or irritating to them, or something--but when they (Lionel and Jean) made a faux pas or acted a bit boorish or thoughtless, it was apprently meant to be "endearingly human". Puh-leeze.

It also made me roll my eyes that Alistair apparently at one time hit on Jean and still called her "lovely lady". Give me a break. If Alistair was such a lady-killer, as he was presented to be, there's no way that he would've seriously hit on a middle-aged plump woman. Judi Dench is not unattractive, but she's not the kind of woman that a superficial man like Alistair would ever seriously try to hit on. He liked arm candy, at least if and until he actually would fall in love. I hate that kind of silly political correctness.

And the daughter was always shown to be so wise-how wise is a woman who at her young age, already had two failed marriages?

Anyway, that's just a few of the things about this show that made me roll my eyes--why I watch it every Saturday on PBS, I don't know. Probably because it comes on right after "Keeping Up Appearances" (now THAT'S a good show, and really funny!), and right before "'Allo 'Allo"--another classic comedy show, and quite witty and funny. Plus it's like a watching a car wreck--you don't really want to see it, but you can't tear your eyes away. I suppose I watch it because I love to torture myself by watching these smug and self-righteous people interact with the rest of the world, to whom they clearly believe that they're superior(but they're very forgiving of their own foibles). If you like to watch some TV shows for the snark factor, here's your show :)
