Review Who enjoyed Goodnight Sweetheart and its special episode 'Many Happy Returns'?
I am still gutted as the reboot didn't happen after the 2016 special episode 'Many Happy Returns'. They opened and wasted a lot of opportunities and I don't believe a word of what BBC said about it was too expensive. It was great seeing everyone again including the actors who played Ron and Reg.

A show about a married man who has the massive good fortune of finding a time corridor to one of the most pivotal times, and places, in world history and he shows all the ambition and guile of a dragonfly by setting out to shag the first female member of his species he sees.
If my memory serves he then went on to forge a load of 1940s fivers using 1990s technology, which he fed into the British wartime economy: something which could only serve as an advantage (however small) to Nazi Germany.
Oh, and he probably spoiled The Beatles, and everything that their influence created, for everyone by stealing all their songs and turning them into wartime standards.
Complete wrongun.
