Goodnight Sweetheart

Goodnight Sweetheart stars Nicholas Lyndhurst (see blog for “Only Fools And Horses”). It is a comedy romance/science fiction/fantasy story in which the main character, Gary Sparrow, finds that he can time-travel back to the Second World War in East London. He freely moves between the two times and develops two separate lives, and has two wives. When people in 1942 ask him what his job is, he says quickly that he is a musician. His double life becomes very complicated when he sings songs by The Beatles, Elton John and other singers of the future. People in 1940 think he is the greatest songwriter in the world. Little by little His conscience gets more and more stressed.
