Dame Judi Dench ...

... will you marry me?

This trailer is her talent and chops. But I fell in love with her during "As Time Goes By" which was /is a BBC series of middle-aged, rediscovered love. I suppose the romance, the music, and the hope in that series helped, but Judi Dench is an amazingly bright and wonderful woman of no small means. She has an awesome way, in comedies, of being controllably neurotic, spontaneously funny, and wry, and has a laugh that is like firecrackers.

I want to marry her, if she'll have me. I think she could take good care of me.
