[@Beverley617]

RIP Geoffrey Palmer a talented actor! loved this romantic sitcom he and Judi Dench were the perfect match for this!

[@judywhittlesey4010]

Deepest sympathies to his family, Dame Judi Dench and other fellow castmates, and to his many fans. I will always love and appreciate his extrodinary talent, and I will continue to cherish "As Time Goes By." RIP Geoffrey Palmer.

[@shirleynitka5030]

the letter ended up at the War Museum- best bit ever.

[@hamiltonhomestead9650]

My wife and I have watched this every Saturday night since we were first together. No matter what we make sure to watch every episode in order and just keep restarting at the beginning. We love the show.

[@susanpook58]

My husband and I do that too! I think the DVD discs are wearing out. Excellent cast and production!

[@cremebrulee4759]

Thank you, Geoffrey Palmer for all the joy you gave us, throughout your illustrious career. Your amazing talent is unforgettable. May you rest in peace.

[@bobbiesox6289]

This news is the saddest I have felt in a long while! Jean & Lionel cutest couple ever!!

[@maiqtheliar3652]

One of the best series I've watched! RIP Mr.Palmer, you made my days so much better!

[@samosullivan1744]

Anyone else feeling weepy over this after hearing about Geoffrey Palmer’s death? R.I.P.

[@strll3048]

A little...

[@zephyrr914]

me me! It’s like when Lucille Ball passed. So extremely sad

[@Trent963]

Yes. Even though he's had a good innings

[@mattsmith87]

He will be missed. This is a touching tribute to him... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mbh62qd71lmtE

[@anthonymoon6918]

I love this show too. The whole cast were funny & warm. Great post!

[@brucewilliams8714]

No other actor has so many variations of the simple word 'oh' as Judi Dench.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

There no words for how fantastic she is..... or at least I cannot find them

[@richarddrolet7746]

The British have the best sitcoms ever......a fan forever....from Canada.

[@richarddrolet7746]

From Canada....bless you sir for your great work as an actor...will never be forgotten...RIP good man you are.

[@winter_s_44]

One of my faves: “I saw you, and I stopped breathing.” From the episode where Jean was trying to talk Lionel into the idea of doing the miniseries, and trying to get him to express how he felt then when they met. 😍❤️

[@williamjones7163]

This show, the premise of missed lovers being reunited after so many years is the most loving story told. It always makes me cry.

[@judywhittlesey4010]

I can watch this over, and over and **** a!!

[@wakkywabbit5446]

I've watched the episodes over and over.

[@volvoguy804]

Judy Whittlesey same. Not enough episodes.

[@lenanoro5427]

M C True that. 😢

[@maureensawatzki7917]

Me too

[@davidfarmer2193]

Geoffrey Palmer who played Lionel sadly passed away today. R.I.P. (1927-2020).

[@zephyrr914]

This is one of my very best shows ever done. Every character is so perfect and then they picked the actors to perfection.

[@ohdear4133]

Oh how I love this series, I looked forward to seeing it and Keeping up Appearances on a Saturday night. I know it's a road for us all but I do not think he knew the smile he brought to my face and maybe countless others. RIP I Consider you a friend even though I didn't know you personally.

[@canoslo6126]

What a legend. RIP to a true gift and blessing. Thank you for ALL the laughs, sir.

[@judywhittlesey4010]

My extreme gratitude to PBS-TV, for bring this wonderful actor, Geoffrey Palmer, and "As Time Goes By" to American television. I really enjoy BBC programming!🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@SydBarrettsGhost]

Always liked him as a Comedy Actor and his deadpan delivery.

[@pamelahelengunchick654]

I still love this show , and its old now too..... 30 yrs................

[@marthamaiden3136]

Can't get enough of the show love it

[@maryanncarter9844]

I love this show. I'm watching the 3rd rerun right now. This was a great show.

[@jameslong3509]

Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer (incredible actors) appeared as ‘M’ and the ‘Admiral’ in Tomorrow Never Dies (James Bond). Except there was mostly tension between them. When the film was originally released and in cinemas, got a chuckle with British audiences. In this, they played it wonderfully as two re-united former lovers. Good show.

[@brettpatron2822]

This is the kind of thing that a gringo American would never know without sharp commenters like you! Thanks for that bit of insight!

[@Scottsteaux63]

The letter. OMG the letter. Her face as she reads it and his face as he watches her; an entire master class in acting in just a few moments of time.

[@davidcalland850]

Really loved this sitcom

[@avenuesoflifecounselingand7898]

Such a wonderful show!

[@tadimaggio]

All these moments were lovely; but, for my money, Lionel's most romantic moment was when Jean went to spend an evening at a restaurant with her old flame, whom she hadn't seen in years, and who turned out to have become an utterly worthless drunk, who passed out at the table with her. When she returned home, there was Lionel, with a pot of hot tea waiting for her, and his comforting presence. Not a trace of jealousy; just concern for her, and worry for the pain she was in. THAT'S love.

[@chiroptera626]

RIP Geoffrey, you and the rest of this cast were a part of my adolescence. Every afternoon after school I would watch this with my parents on PBS. You were the best.

[@ellieseddigh9067]

What a sad ,sad loss ,Geoffrey was one of the types on TV that made every roll he played ,so real ,as time goes by always be my top fav show to watch over and over ,his relationship with Dane Judie was so very special and the pair never failed to win the roll . Rip great man ,may be gone but never be forgotten 💔😔

[@Mu5096rdgh]

I’ve just finished the whole series (for the second time). Now I think I’ll watch it all again, I really love this show. Rest In Peace Geoffrey. ❤️

[@nancyhammons3594]

That letter episode brings me to tears every time. 😂😂

[@nygirl7195]

I am so sad to hear of Geoffrey's death. I had watched the series with my older son many times over the years. We were planning to sign up for BritBox and rewatch it all. I loved how he acted with all the characters but their love story was special. It gave hope for older people.

[@revonda5204]

I've watched this series so many times. I know much many of the lines. It is my favorite show. Judi & Geoffrey were perfect together! He was the lovable curmudgeon! All the characters were wonderful.

[@englishpsycho8425]

Beautiful tribute.... but Judi is one to love.

[@jofrances3296]

Recently watched the whole series just lovely to watch

[@christinejones7070]

Thank you, BritBox for sharing these beautiful memories of Lionel, aka Geoffrey Palmer. As Time Goes By is still my favorite show, as well as, To The Manor Born.

[@suzanneberger8202]

A delightful gentleman with quality and decorum....

[@briansergeant]

Vale Geoffrey Palmer 1927-2020

[@johnpaulcline55]

I loved this show.

[@BedsitBob]

These two worked so well together. You could almost believe they were a couple in real life. I have the entire series (including the reunion special), and watch it regularly.

[@Aleakwe]

timeless class acts

[@ashleybrooke2087]

Growing as an American teenager, I totally got charmed by this show because it's such a sweet & unassuming look at how romance & relationships can be complicated at any age.

[@smontalvo210]

R.I.P Mr. Palmer. Prayers going out to Mr. Palmer family and friends 🙏 You will forever be Lionel ❤

[@28noble]

RIP Lionel.

[@patriciaotoole5930]

Love them all

[@bigh236]

He was very good rest in peace 🙏

[@armoniamg6750]

RIP Geoffrey ❤️

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

Sigh..... simply magical!!!!!!! 💕

[@dla116z3]

I would love to have experienced that kind of Love.

[@jasonlassiter9229]

The man playing Lionel looks a lot like my grandfather. R.I.P. grandad. I 🩷You

[@supamat]

Rip Geoff 👍

[@judya.shroads8245]

I love that show. When they took it off the air, I was so disappointed. Sad for his passing.

[@bojanajosipovic8816]

Are there full episodes?My favorite Tv show.And i love Judi Dench.

[@jonnnyren6245]

Aside from her late husband and her current partner, there's another man who could love our lovable Dame Judi. And that is Geoffrey Palmer. I love these two to bits and yes, the best proposal I've seen in any TV series or movie. "My leg is locked." ❤😂😂

[@alawton4173]

❤️❤️❤️one of my favorite ❤️❤️❤️ me and future wife🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@roderickfemm8799]

I'm so glad they didn't have her read the letter, it's much better imagining Lionel's romantic gushing.

[@peterheal1960]

I have to be honest and say, yes I like all the usual popular comedies, only fools, porridge, etc etc, But my three all time favourites are, This one, Dinner Ladies and just good friends,comedy works of genius in my eyes, well i am 63 so I do remember a long way back….LOL.

[@gardenlover9663]

My dad wrote many letters to my mom in the early 50s to woo her. Glad the post office did a better job than they did with Lionel's letter!

[@eileenbachemin1617]

I thought he was great with Judy Dench !! They worked well together !!!

[@deeking3683]

RIP Geoffrey Palmer

[@armoniamg6750]

Carlos te amo after all this years.

[@amyclarke41]

[@CapitalCapitalismModernity]

I loved his acting but I that overly romantic moments like this didn't suit his character in the sitcom. Anyway, he was an acting genius.

[@annemaloney8273]

❤

[@underdog39]

🥰❤🥰

[@elizabetherwin1315]

Geoffrey passed away on Guy Fawkes Day, November 5.

[@strikategu6798]

S.I.P. Geoffrey from Strika

[@helenfitch3440]

Their lines ran into each other, got annoying after a couple of episodes. No one comments and the other person comments immediately after. Best romantic moment is the ear wax one, she was so natural.

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

To posh why we're all sitcoms back then always about upper middle class big house's loads of cash never did a hard day's work in there lives all so upper class and i hated these programs they were so boring and unfunny canned laughter thank God we have a choice of what we can watch today back when we only had 5 channels to watch unless you had cable or sky if you could afford them.
