Nostalgia runs deep in As Time Goes By: You Must Remember This, an episode of highlights from the long-running British comedy. The series followed the courtship and marriage of Jean (Judi Dench) and Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer), young lovers separated by the Korean War who get a second chance at happiness together when they meet again 40 years later. In this hour-long special shot during the series final season in 2002, Jean tries to persuade Lionel to write another memoir, leading to reminiscences that combine with clips from previous episodes (three of which are included on the DVD). Its an odd layering of memory upon memory that blends easily into the series tranquil tone of middle-age realities that have cooled the hot passion of young love while leaving a deeper affection. And as with the series as a whole, this special episode succeeds through its winning dry humor and ever-so-polite banter. For fans, this works as the ideal farewell to a romance that became, by the end of its nine-year run, as difficult to part with as a pair of old but oh-so-comfortable shoes.
