As Time Goes Byis a British sitcom that aired on BBC One from 1992 to 2005. Starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, it follows the relationship between two former lovers who meet unexpectedly after not being in contact for 38 years.

The programme's title is a reference to the 1931 song "As Time Goes By", which was also used as the title music, recorded by Joe Fagin.

The show was written by Bob Larbey,who had co-writtenThe Good Life. In 2004,As Time Goes Bycame 29th inBritain's Best Sitcom.

Second Lieutenant Lionel Hardcastle and Nurse Jean Pargetter (b. 1934) met in the summer of 1953 or 1954 (depending on the episode) and fell in love, but when Lionel was sent to Korea they lost touch. He had sent her a letter when he arrived in Korea, which she did not receive, and both assumed the other had lost interest. After his war service, Lionel had gone to Kenya and became a coffee planter. He and his wife Margaret had divorced on the grounds of "mutual boredom", and he had moved back to England. Jean married, and after her husband's death set up "Type for You", a secretarial agency. She has a daughter, Judith Hanson, who had married twice (to 'Chris' and 'Ben'), with both ending in divorce.

As the series begins, Judith develops a crush on Lionel, and his publisher Alistair Deacon takes an interest in Jean. Both crushes are brief, and eventually Judith and Alistair fall for each other and later marry. Other plot lines feature Lionel being asked to write an American TV mini-series,Just Two People, based on his early romance with Jean. The mini-series fails after one episode. Jean eventually retires from her company, and later donates work hours for a charity shop.

Jean's very efficient secretary and Judith's best friend is Sandy, who eventually moves in with the Hardcastles after splitting with her boyfriend Nick. She later starts dating a policeman and rugby player called Harry whom, at the end of the series, she marries. Other characters are Lionel's father, Rocky, who owns a large house in Hampshire which he later gives to Lionel. The housekeeper is Mrs. Bale, who has an unusual interest in the Shipping Forecast, and the gardener is Lol Ferris. Rocky marries Madge when he is 85 and she is 78, and they frequently travel around the world. In Series Nine, Madge is mentioned as being on an archaeological dig in Egypt; in reality the actress who portrayed her, Joan Sims, had died before filming began. Jean's first husband's sister Penny, who always calls Jean "poor Jean", and her dentist husband Stephen, who once accidentally declined the OBE, also make many appearances.

The programme ran for nine series from 12 January 1992 to 4 August 2002. Almost all episodes were 30 minutes in duration. The final series episode was followed by an hour-long compilation show on 11 August 2002, and by a two part "Reunion Special" broadcast on 26 and 30 December 2005. The Reunion Specials were the last appearance of Frank Middlemass, who played Rocky, before his death in 2006.
