One of Britains most popular sitcoms, As Time Goes By is built on the adoring and warring romantic union between one of her majestys thespian jewels -- Dame Judi Dench -- and the wonderfully underrated Geoffrey Palmer. Since its premiere in 1992, the series has received a groundswell of support on both sides of the pond, building its following with a rare blend of charm and nuanced humor. The series revolves around the star-crossed Jean Pargeter (Dench) and Lionel Hardcastle (Palmer), lovers during the Korean War who were separated by a twist of fate and reunited 38 years later. The highlight of the fifth season is the dramatic meeting between Lionel and his ex-wife Margaret (which Jean reluctantly agrees to attend). Dench and the marvelously deadpan Palmer are at the height of their powers, flashing a chemistry that recent American sitcoms would do well to study. Amid a sea of television driven by the need for near-constant laughter, As Time Goes By has carved a niche by doing something nearly unheard of -- revealing quirky humor in a subtle, natural pace, instead of rushing from one obvious punchline to the next. This 3 1/2 hour DVD includes all 7 episodes from the shows fifth season, plus bloopers and excerpts from Denchs tribute at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
