Has to be my #1 favourite series. Just brilliant in casting, acting and direction. The idea of 'time travel' is not new of course but it rings so true for many thousands of us who lived through those austere and often terrifying war years. Series 1 to 3 are the best. Sad that the cast changed for the last three series with Emma Amos replacing Michelle Holmes as Yvonne Sparrow and Elizabeth Carling taking over from Dervla Kirwan as Phoebe, the pub barmaid and later pub landlady. The replacements were very good and the acting remained top class but, like all cast changes, one is unhappy that the original cast had disappeared. Garry Sparrow (Nicholas Lyndhurst) is the *star* of the show but, for me, one of the other characters really stole the whole series: Constable Reg Deadman (Christopher Ettridge) was pure comic genius! Absolutely hilarious interpretation of the script character. Another top class performance came from Ron (Victor McGuire), the chap who ran a printing business and was a great pal of Garry Sparrow. The scripts were wonderful throughout. This DVD set also has some highly interesting "Extras" including interviews with Marks and Gran, Christopher Ettridge and others in the cast. Highly recommended DVD set and one of the best sitcoms ever.Vollständige Rezension lesen

What a wonderful drama/comedy series and all in one CD collection (11 CDs). A fantastic but simple idea with lots of permeatations as to where the story could lead. Present day (1997) Gary Sparrow (Nicholas Lyndhurst) accidentally stumbles across a time portal, which takes him back to 1941 wartime London where he falls in love with Phoebe, the daughter of a pub owner. Gary's present day partner Yvonne remains largely oblivious to his double life, where he is aided by his pathetic best friend Ron Wheatcroft (Victor McGuire). The 6 series cover a 4 year period until the end of the war with lots of strong and comedic storylines. I bought this set because I enjoyed watching a number of the episodes some years ago and I wanted to enjoy the full story. There is very little to dislike about the series with the exception of a change to 2 of the main characters at the start of Series 4, which always makes things a bit awkward until you get used to the new actresses. Fortunately the replacements are as good if not better than the original actresses and very little is lost (unlike when Joey and Aveline were changed in 'Bread' all those years ago, when it was never the same again for me). Goodnight Sweetheart must rank as one of the best comedy dramas of the decade, a MUST BUY!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I couldn't remember seeing this series first time around but having recently seen a couple of episodes on TV, I wanted more so ordered the whole series from ebay. I loved it! I love the idea of time travel and really enjoyed the whole thing. It really doesn't matter that two of the main characters were played by different actresses from series 4 because the storyline is so entertaining. I've seen reviews where Elizabeth Carling and Emma Amos have been criticised as not being as good actresses as Dervla Kirwan and Michelle Holmes but that is nonsense, in my opinion. Elizabeth and Emma are every bit as good. In fact, Emma's performance in one episode brought me to tears (but I won't spoil it by revealing which one!) And I did prefer Elizabeth's portrayal of Phoebe to that of Dervla. Nicholas Lyndhurst is, of course, excellent, as are Victor McGuire and Christopher Ettridge. If you haven't seen this, I do encourage you to try it. I love it!Vollständige Rezension lesen
