Goodnight Sweetheart: A Guide To The Classic Sitcom

Goodnight Sweetheart: A Guide To The Classic Sitcom
By Paul Burton

In this informative book, Paul Burton takes an in-depth look behind the scenes of the time-travelling sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart.

Running between 1993 and 1999, and returning for a special in 2016, the high-rating BBC series starred Nicholas Lyndhurst as Gary Sparrow, a television repairman who accidentally stumbled across a time portal in 1993 that led him to the East End of London during the Second World War. He subsequently embarked on a secret double life that gave viewers a clever mixture of comedy, drama and pathos.

In addition to revealing the inside story on the inventive sitcom, the publication includes insight from the original writers and creators Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, and recollections from cast members including Nicholas Lyndhurst, Elizabeth Carling, Emma Amos, Victor McGuire, Christopher Ettridge and David Benson.
