View MoreGoodnight sweetheart is one of the most underrated British comedies to date.Brilliant plot, superb characters and the story lines get better and better as the series goes on.Perhaps people's perceptions of this great show are tainted by the fact Nicholas Lyndhurst plays the main character as people still see him as "Rodney".In GNSH Lyndhurst is able to show what a great actor he is unlike his previous one dimensional character in "Only fools " He is joined by a great cast which really makes the show more enjoyable to watch.It is light hearted, foolhardy and slapstick.If you're interested in time travel and comedy then this is for you.If you love British comedy then this is for you.Awesome! I wish it would make some kind of comeback.I'm in the process of writing a "spin-off" of the show based on Gary Sparrow's grandson for a university assignment. How amazing it would be if something like this actually came true!
View MoreGoodnight Sweetheart was a highly entertaining comedy that used a sci-fi plot device as its driving force. However, the heart of show was always Gary Sparrow's(Lyndhurst) interaction with the historical events occurring around him. Gary's endearing best friend Ron(played by Victor McGuire) was one of my favourite characters. As the time-travel takes place during the six years of World War 2,(in parallel with the 90s) it was always inevitable that the show would end after the war had fully played out. Gary's relationship with his wives in both eras was never easy, adding an element of drama to the show.I miss this show greatly as it was always funny and a delight to watch. The brilliance of this comedy was always underrated in my opinion. I love this show!
View MoreThis is a charming comedy show, which uses a single sci-fi device - a time portal - to create the whole series. The 'hero' lives two lives with two women, but he does not fear discovery, for each are 50 years apart in time.There are some wonderful temporal paradox scenes, and the writers do explore many of the possibilities that the situation would allow.The cast is fine, my own favourite being Gary's friend Ron, his only confidant about the time portal, who does eventually manage to use it too.Gary is from the 1990s and of course has full knowledge of wartime events
View MoreThis is a one-idea weak comedy based around Nicholas Lyndhurst who is wooden throughout. A decent support cast including the friendly bobby can't rescue a predictable and painful series of slight variations on the same old plot. Not funny and could have been written by ten year old. No credibility even for a "fantasy" style plot.
