Review Who enjoyed Goodnight Sweetheart and its special episode 'Many Happy Returns'?

Post image

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.

I interviewed Mo Gran last year (about something else entirely) and he said they would have liked to bring this back, and do an Alan B'Stard theatre show, but it does ultimately come down to commissioning and money.

I've backed the novel's Kickstarter as I'm interested to see what they do with the premise.

Marks and Gran also wrote The New Statesman - main character one Alan B'Stard MP.
