As Time Goes By Season 9 earns a 0/10 woke score by delivering pure, apolitical comedy focused on relationships, aging, and family without identity politics or activist messaging.
As Time Goes By Series 9 (2002) is a straightforward BBC romantic sitcom centered on the later-life relationship of Jean Pargetter and Lionel Hardcastle, with subplots involving the wedding of Alistair and Judith, matchmaking for Harry and Sandy, and a single-episode quirky encounter with a homeless girl nicknamed Dave.
All five episodes follow classic domestic comedy beats—wedding nerves, family gatherings, and a retrospective clip show—without any framing around identity politics, systemic issues, or critiques of traditional norms. The principal cast of Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer, along with the supporting ensemble, reflects the show's established 1990s-2000s British middle-class setting with no alterations to prior characters or forced representational changes.
Creator Bob Larbey and the production maintain the series' long-running focus on gentle humor about aging, second chances, and relationships, showing zero evidence of activist intent or modern social-justice messaging. Audience and critical reception emphasize its comforting, apolitical charm, with no controversies or debates over ideology.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
