Product Details/SpecificationsActor(s): Judi Dench Geoffrey Palmer Moira Brooker Philip Bretherton Jenny Funnell Recording label: 20th Century Fox EAN: 9786305320777Binding: VHS TapeISBN: 6305320772Format: Closed-captioned, Color, NTSC, Release Date: 1999-05-11Universal product code (UPC): 086162000621Number of discs: 1Audience rating: NR (Not Rated)Amazon.com Forty years after being separated by war and circumstance, a couple meet again and stubbornly resist their feelings for each other, thus forming the premise of this early '90s BBC comedy. Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer are marvelously deadpan in this trio of 27-minute episodes infused with humor by turns tart and gentle. Writer Bob Larbey deliciously skewers youth, old age, and the publishing industry, beginning with the first episode of this volume, in which some misinformed picketers dub Lionel an elephant killer as he attempts to lecture on his African experiences. Jean and her daughter Judith make a surprise appearance, only to meet Lionel's "date" for the evening, inspiring a miffed Jean to accept the attentions of Lionel's much-younger publisher, Alistair. The complications continue in the second episode, with Alistair courting Jean and twice-divorced Judith making a play for her mother's former love. The love quadrangle busts apart in the final episode when Jean and Lionel--tiring of their young admirers--dream up a picnic for the foursome with the hopes of boring Alistair and Judith into each other's arms. --Kimberly Heinrichs
