Default As Time Goes By

Does anyone else love the British comedy "As Time Goes By"? -- I really think it is one of, if not the best tv shows ever. I absolutely love it, and I believe I have seen ever episode from all their years - several times. I think it was on for 10 yrs. It was where I first fell in love with the acting talents of Judi Dench - she is amazing!

Anyway, tonight - 2 of the stars from the show, Moira Brooker, who played Judith, and Jenny Funnell, who played Sandy, are here in Iowa. They were doing the promotion for Festival - what the fundraising is called here for PBS -- they showed the reunion special from "As Time Goes By" and of course had all the breaks to encourage people to support their public television local station. They recorded segments that will be shown to everyone that runs the special on PBS - and then the actresses & hosts did a couple lighter segments & said this is only for the Iowa audience -- I wish I had volunteered to go take calls tonight at the station, so I could have met them.

Who else watches British comedies? This is really my favorite, but I do sometimes watch "Keeping up Appearances" - my daughter loves this one a lot. You just never know what Hyacinth is going to do or say

Some of the others they show on my local PBS station, I don't care for so much - but they used to show sometimes this crazy one about a gal who marries a guy from another planet - it was amusing, but I don't know the name of it
