''As Time Goes By'' is a British romantic sitcom that aired on BBC One from 1992 to 2002, with reunion specials in 2005. Starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, it follows the relationship between two former lovers who meet unexpectedly after not having been in contact for 38 years. The programme's original working title had been ''Winter with Flowers''〔(page 18: "In the early 90s he was brought the script for ''As Time Goes By'', which was at first titled ''Winter with Flowers''". ) 〕 (from the German proverb "An old man loved is winter with flowers") but was changed during its first day of filming due to the cast's protestations. The new title was taken from the 1931 song "As Time Goes By", which was used as the title music, recorded by Joe Fagin.〔 The show was created by Colin Bostock-Smith, but written by Bob Larbey, who had co-written ''The Good Life''. In 2004, ''As Time Goes By'' was ranked #29 in ''Britain's Best Sitcom''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - Programmes categorised as Comedy )〕 The series was produced by Theatre of Comedy Entertainment, in association with DLT Entertainment Ltd. for the BBC. ==Cast== In the March 2011 PBS pledge drive programming special ''Behind the Britcoms: from Script to Screen'' hosted by Moira Brooker and Philip Bretherton, the series creator/producer revealed that Jean Simmons had declined the first offer of the role of Jean (which was written with her in mind) due to her reluctance to uproot her sunny life—specifically mentioning her dogs, garden, and family—in California. Dench was later cast for the role. * Jean Mary Hardcastle (née ''Pargetter'', previously Hanson) (Judi Dench) – Judith's mother and becomes Lionel's wife * Lionel Hardcastle (Geoffrey Palmer) – Jean's husband and Rocky's son * Judith "Judi" Deacon (née ''Hanson'') (Moira Brooker) – Jean's daughter, and Sandy's best friend, later Alistair's wife * Alistair Deacon (Philip Bretherton) – Initially publisher of Lionel's book, then Judith's husband * Sandy Edwards (Jenny Funnell) – Jean's secretary and receptionist, Judith's best friend and later Harry's wife * Richard "Rocky" Hardcastle (Frank Middlemass) – Lionel's father, Madge's husband * Madge Hardcastle (Joan Sims) – Rocky's wife * Penny Johnson (née Hanson) (Moyra Fraser) – Jean's sister-in-law (from Jean's first marriage to David) * Stephen Johnson (Paul Chapman) – Penny's husband * Harry (David Michaels and Daniel Ryan) – Sandy's husband * Mrs. Bale (Janet Henfrey) – Hardcastle country home housekeeper * Lol Ferris (Tim Wylton) – Hardcastle country home gardener 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「As Time Goes By (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
