Only one Rumpole book, some years ago. I remember enjoying it very much.
Part of the charm of AS TIME GOES BY is the cast. The British casting directors seem more aware of chemistry between actors than we do over here. Of course I never see the BAD British tv shows, of which I hear there are many.
But anything with Judi Dench is on my list of things to watch. I have been a fan of hers for many years and have been quite happy to see her recent American popularity.

You're right about the chemistry in As Time Goes By. The cast seems to be having fun. At least they're not phoning in their parts.
It's also the characters. They're uniquely different. I remember reading something once about the Brits' acceptance of eccentricity. Sure, there are gradations of this, but think about Morse, Rumpole and Lionel, just for starters.
