About this audiobook

Dame Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer star as old flames Jean Pargetter and Lionel Hardcastle. Their love story was all set for a happy ending in the 1950s when Jean was a student nurse and Lionel, a young army officer. But he was posted abroad and they lost touch. Thirty-eight years later, Lionel has returned to London to publish his autobiography and, through a strange coincidence, he is reunited with Jean who has set up a secretarial agency. Specially adapted in six episodes for BBC Radio 2, this hugely popular BBC1 bittersweet comedy about the reunited lovers asks the burning question: 'Can the flame of passion still flicker in middle age?'

Very disappointing. This isn’t the entire series, which is what I thought I was purchasing. This is only a fraction of the series and does not take it to the end. I am going to request a refund.

I love the Audio Book as much as I love the TV show. The story and all of the actors are great - especially Judi Dench, of course, which I find to be the most entertaining and inspiring actress ever. High level romantic comedy at it's best, bound to cheer up the audience. I wish they'd done more of that- like all the episodes of "As Time Goes By"...
