This popular BBC sitcom ran for six series from 1993 until 1999. There was an additional episode in 2016.Nicholas Lyndhurst stars as Gary - a television repairman in present- day London. He's unhappily married to Yvonne. He finds a portal to the early 1940s, where he lives a double life with pub landlady Phoebe.In the first three series, Michelle Holmes plays Yvonne and Dervla Kirwan plays Phoebe. From then onwards, Emma Amos plays Yvonne and Elizabeth Carling plays Phoebe. Replacing Kirwan with Carling was a big mistake. Carling's portrayal of Phoebe is inferior and unbelievable - in addition to looking and sounding different, she has a different personality.

Fabulous premise. I wouldn't mind going back to WW2 and experience it as an adult. I was a toddler and only have hazy recollections. Liked the idea of including Noel Coward and George Formby as characters, a few more would have been fun. There were so many places to go with this story and it ended far too soon and rather oddly. Whatever happened to the pad in Mayfair? Worth millions today! I absolutely loved this series and would like the story to continue, I'm sure there is a great deal of mileage left in it yet. Loved all the characters - but especially PC Deadman, brilliant! It would have been interesting to have tracked down Phoebe into the 1970's. This is my absolute favourite series of all time, simply because I love the idea of being able to go back and forth between these two particular eras.

My family and I watched every episode of Goodnight Sweetheart and found it brilliant. It contained comedy, serious moments, and noted both it's nostalgic and modern content. The script writers were brilliant. However, I feel, as I am sure millions of others feel, it should return to our screens, continuing from where it left off. It had so many open ends, and could continue in any direction, even down to Ron or Phoebe being able to step through time.. What happened to the night club? where did Garry and Phoebe vanish to? There were dozens of other unanswered questions, so many that I would need more than a thousand words. So come on BBC, how about some more Goodnight Sweetheart that would bring "Millions" of viewers flocking back to you.....Any Chance?.

Great series worth watching, although for me I preferred the earlier episodes when Dervla Kirwin played Phoebe. The actress who played her in the later episodes was much harder - Phoebe was a tough little cockney girl, but there was still an appealing softness about her which was lacking after the changeover, whereas both actresses who played Yvonne were great. Nick Lyndhurst as Gary was brilliant, and loved his sidekick, Ron. The only thing I really felt towards the end was that the plot had grown somewhat exaggerated... probably hence my preference for the earlier series which were more convincing. But I have all of them on DVD and thoroughly enjoying revisting the series after originally seeing it on TV.
