Nicholas Lyndhurst stars as accidental time traveller Gary Sparrow in the classic BBC sitcom, Goodnight Sweetheart. The show, written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, became an instant hit when it was broadcast twenty years ago and with its brilliant mix of comedy and drama, has gone on to become a firm favourite with fans all over the world. Meet Mr Gary Sparrow, just an ordinary bloke with an extraordinary life; almost a devoted and attentive husband and a sometimes loyal and dependable best friend. By day, a very bored and uninspired TV repairman but by night, an accidental time traveller extraordinaire. Among the anonymous streets of Whitechapel you will find a strange alley called Duckett's Passage. It looks like any other alleyway, but for Gary Sparrow it leads to a wartorn London, to barrage balloons and the Blitz, and in particular, to a little pub called The Royal Oak, and to a lonely barmaid called Phoebe.
