As Time Goes By - Volume 8 [VHS]
We first met Jean and Lionel—the appealing couple at the heart of this charming BBC series—back in 1992. They are convincingly portrayed by Dame Judi Dench (Mrs. Brown, Shakespeare in Love") and Geoffrey Palmer (Mrs. Brown, Anna and the King)." Series 3, 10 episodes; CC, 4 hours 48 min. on 3 cassettes. Web Extra: Palmer prefers to read scripts well in advance of filming, while Dench elects to learn her lines the weekend prior to shooting. Dench "firsts": She played the first female M in the James Bond films. And in 1996, she became the first person to win two Olivier awards for British theater, for two different roles—Christine in Absolute Hell" and Desiree in A Little Night Music".
