Goodnight Sweetheart
Created by Laurence Marks, Maurice Gran
On BBC One
A surreal British sitcom-drama hybrid that mines comedy and pathos from a man's impossible double life across time, balancing whimsy with the moral weight of infidelity and wartime danger.
Gary Sparrow is an ordinary bloke in 1990s Britain, married to the ambitious Yvonne and working as a TV repairman. Then his whole world changes when he stumbles upon a portal to WWII-era London and begins a dual life as an accidental time traveler.
