I remember this show, i think it was called as time goes by, but not sure. Judi Dench was in it.Ive seen in on PBS. I figured it was a britcom because they all had british accents and the show looked british, and it aired(or airs still) right before Keeping Up Appearences. Can anyone let me know. I cant find any info on it. Thanks much.

Hi Drew - yes, it IS a Britcom.
Six series were made between 1992 and 1997 and it was very popular in the UK (although I failed to see its appeal myself).
Geoffrey Palmer ('Butterflies', 'Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin') starred alongside Judi Dench.

Alright thanks for letting me know, it is a good show. It could have lasted alittle longer though. How come its not listed under Britcoms here?
