The ninth and final season of As Time Goes By finds Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) trying to smooth the rocky romantic path for his stepdaughter Judy (Moira Brooker), who has become re-engaged to Lionel's publisher Alistair (Philip Bretherton). Emboldened by the Alistair-Judy example, policeman Harry (David Michaels) pops the question to Sandy (Jenny Funnell), the habitually unlucky-in-love employee of Lionel's wife Jean (Judi Dench). Relieved that Sandy will at last be moving out of his and Jean's house, Lionel is soon to be un-relieved by the arrival of Jean's latest houseguest, a woebegone homeless girl named Davina (Lara Cazalet). The series caps its nine-year run with highlights from previous episodes and an implicit promise that golden-agers Lionel and Jean will live happily ever after.
