As Time Goes By - Complete Series 5

Summary: The gentlest of comedies
Review: If you want to find out about middle-class life in England, forget Notting Hill, Bridget Jones, Four Weddings and WATCH THIS! Perhaps more appealing to the over thirty crowd, it's comedy is, nonetheless, definitely universal. This series was made for British crowds and not constucted around ideas of what Americans think Britain is like and so gives a more accurate impression of English life. We don't all live in London or that non-specific natural area always referred to as "the country." We don't all drive around in Mini Coopers and we are capable of producing narratives not based on "gritty Northern life" (The Full Monty, Billy Elliot) "hilarious upper-class rom-coms," or London based ganster films a la Lock, Stock... and Snatch. It's not dramatic or edgey, but it does have some skilled actors with well written and intelligent scripts. BUY IT, WATCH AND LOVE IT!

Summary: Love is not for just the young
Review: My wife and I discovered this wonderful series entirely by accident. Not only is the superiority of British acting displayed, it reinforces how love can grow through the years. This is the perfect series to parcel out (thirty minute episodes) over many nights just before bedtime, especially after challenging days. Enjoy and cuddle.

Summary: Immensely enjoyable
Review: This series just like previous series 1-4 is extremely enjoyable.
I would reccomend this DVD to anyone who loves Brit-comedy.
