Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

moofyieman What a great plot about a very common man who stumbles upon a passage through time, back to 1940. Gary is played very sympathetic by Nicholas Lyndhurst. He does a good job in having two wives at the same time. Well.. sort of. Dervla Kirwan, who played Phoebe in the first three seasons is brilliant. Naive, sweet but getting stronger every episode. Elizabeth Carling who took over, just didn't fit in and didn't had the chemistry with Gary. Lucky for us viewers, Emma Amos who took over Yvonne at the same time, was a breath of fresh air and made the Yvonne part even better. Gary's pal Ron stayed with him for all episodes and is a key part in the series. Nerdy, autistic and a real bloke, he is the really funny bit.I have really enjoyed watching the series again after having seen it 20 years ago. If you binge watch all 58 episodes, you've traveled in time back and forth from the nineties to the forties and back again. And what a great ride it is.

ColinBaker The pleasure of this series is watching all the cast play a pure fantasy absolutely straight, a critical hurdle for the show's credibility. We are therefore left with one basic premise: this is about a time travelling bigamist! From 1997, the roles of the two women in Gary Sparrow's life were taken over by different actresses. Elizabeth Carling (who became better known as Celia in Casualty) followed Dervla Kirwan's gentle homely portrayal of Phoebe, but when Emma Amos took over Yvonne from Michelle Holmes, the character became softer and more sympathetic, while paradoxically becoming more successful in the era of New Labour (you could argue that the series says as much about the 1990s as it does about the war years).I agree with the poster who said that the series lost its way a little towards the end, with one episode in which Gary goes the wrong way through the time portal and ends up being accused of a murder committed by Jack The Ripper. Worse still was one with a dream sequence in which Phoebe and Yvonne force Gary to choose between them.It was correct that the series ended with the end of the war, and that the viewer should be left to speculate about what happened to Gary, Phoebe, Michael and Reg in the past, and Yvonne, Ron, Stella and Reg's grandson in the present. It could however be said that there's something of a political statement in the idea that all along Gary's mission in the past was to save Clement Attlee, thus giving Britain a very progressive Government.Very enjoyable though.

balen1-1 Love this Show, I would not miss it, takes me back to the 40's and makes one realize just how lucky we are now, although we complain about things, We had it tough in those days. The program is amusing, and that is what is was meant to be. Think all the Actors played their parts very well, Loved Ron and Reg. The American Episode was near the mark, they thought they had won the war for us. And that is what they were like. I remember the Underground Stations-Air Raid Shelters. Loved the Noel Coward Episodes. Seeing the Ritz. OH! Yes Did I tell you that I love the Show, it is still on here in Sydney on UK TV. Thanks to the Actors and Writers etc:

katslaterc I thought the series was good Nicholas Lydhurst is better in only fools horses than goodnight sweetheart I like the tune writing was reasonable
