Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

shellcara12345 This is a great 90's comedy. It's cute and clever. Not everyone will appreciate or understand the humor from 90's UK but I remember watching the show at the time and it's still very funny. Similar to Pie In The Sky or Hamish McBeth.

mary-jane-xxxx The creators of this programme set themselves a difficult challenge. This was to make a comedy out of a very dark subject, the Second World War, and a social taboo, bigamy. Yet they succeeded and gave the world this hilarious sit-com.I just loved the peripheral characters, especially Ron, who got all the best lines.Yvonne was wonderful as Gary's first wife. She was amusing and very sarcastic; she always had a very apt answer for Gary. Yet she was also very vulnerable. The character of Phoebe tried by patience a little. She was intelligent and strong enough to run a public house in a rough area of London during a war and yet she needed the support of Reg and deferred to Gary's opinion on almost every issue.

MartynGryphon Wonderful Sitcom about an average 90's guy called Gary Sparrow,(Nicholas Lyndhurst), a TV repairman who has a wife, Yvonne (Michelle Holmes then Emma Amos), a starter home and a scouse best mate named Ron Wheatcroft, (Victor McGuire).Gary accidentally stumbles across a time portal that allows him to travel from the 1990's to the 1940's. It is here in Blitz-torn London that he meets Pheobe Bamford, (Dervla Kirwan then Elizabeth Carling) a beautiful but married East-End barmaid and her highly suspicious father.With Pheobe's Husband being far from home fighting gallantly for both King & Country and Gary's wife being 50 years in the future having her nails done, the two forge a close friendship that soon blossoms into romance.That, in a nutshell, is the entire plot of this funny sitcom which over 6 years and 6 seasons shows us some of the human race's most admirable traits such as adultery, bigamy, forgery, plagiarism, deception, cowardice and BAD BAD singing from Lyndhurst.Despite being our 'hero', Gary Sparrow is actually a bit of a Sh*t. he has no qualms about either cheating on his wife or seducing the wife of a brave 'Tommy' risking his life overseas, He's also quite happy to potentially ruin Britain's war time economy by spending forged British Bank notes he has had printed in the 1990's and finally, he has no courage or patience when faced with air raids, rations, queues and George Formby.He masquerades as both an MI5 agent and a successful songwriter who has written, (amongst other things), a musical based on George Bernard Shaw's Pigmallion called My Fair Lady and also, it seems, the entire Beatles back catalogue. and his espionage duties involve nothing more than buying a book in the 1990's that detail ALL the air raids that took place over London during the war years, so he knows in advance whether Hitler is going to prevent him from getting his leg over on any given evening.In fact given the contempt I feel for Gary Sparrow, I'm surprised I actually like this show at all, but the jokes are funny, Dervla Kirwan and Elizabeth Carling are both Gorgeous and we also get to see the best and worst that both era's had to offer.Christopher Ettridge plays the well meaning yet dim-witted war-time policeman Reginald Deadman who becomes Gary and Pheobe's only ally when they start 'stepping out' together.It is Ettridge's and McGuire's characters that are the most likable and it is watching these two characters, that give us the most enjoyment.Ron is Gary's 1990's confidant and the only person who knows about his excursions in the 4th dimension and helps him out by spinning the tall tales to Gary's wife Yvonne to explain his lengthy absences and as a printer by trade is also responsible for funding Gary's double life by printing off his 'white fiver's'.Like Gary, Yvonne Sparrow's character is also not very endearing she's cold, sarcastic and bossy and is more concerned with building a career than a stable homelife so you can sort of understand Gary's motivation when he meets the innocent and homely Phoebe. Yvonne's character is constructed in such a way that you're not supposed to feel an ounce of pity for her, if you did, then the show would have ceased to be funny and would not have lasted more than the one series.sadly after the 4th series the quality of the show began to wane and the final two seasons was an uneven mixture of very funny comedy and cringe inducing clichés, even the writers were beginning to struggle to present us with something original each week.my intention over time to review each and every episode of this series on this website, but I thought that an overview would not go amiss.

ian1000 This 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
