An excellent send off to the fine sitcom 'Goodnight Sweetheart'
The war is coming towards its end in Europe. Hitler is dead and VE night is a matter of a week away. In modern times, Yvonne is getting suspicious of Gary as she finds a photograph of him and Phoebe in Gary's wallet. He tells her it is his Grandfather. She also sees him with the help of a crane walking through the time gate and disappearing. He tells her she's been working too hard. In 1945, Reg is very excited about meeting Clement Atlee as he's giving a speech at his club, as Atlee helped set it up. Reg had a game of ping pong with Atlee when the club opened and they have a game again. Gary notices an attempt on the future Prime Minister's life during the ping pong and saves Atlee's life. Has Gary done his mission now and will he manage to get back to 1999...
At last we find out what had happened to Gary. The wonderful final series deserved a great send off and it got one (rather like the more recent third series of 'Ashes to Ashes'). I was left very satisfied and thought it was a great idea for Gary to write what had happened on the wall of his West End Flat knowing Ron was re-papering. I'm sure it was for the best Gary to be with Phoebe than Yvonne. Yvonne was a multi millionaire who cared more about her job than her marriage as Ron pointed out to her. Phoebe was much more interdependent on Gary as he was her main source of income and of course, he had a Son to her.
Playing Reg's mate Kenneth was Tony Millan. Fans of the classic seventies sitcom 'Citizen Smith' may remember him as the wonderfully dull Tucker.
Having finished all my studies, I've had a lot of time on my hands, so I have prolifically been watching episodes of 'Goodnight Sweetheart' over the last couple of weeks. This is the second time I've watched it all the way through and it is such a wonderful sitcom, where the later episodes for me were better than the early ones, as it got more adventurous in its story lines. My favourite character is undoubtedly Reg Deadman.
This is a highly satisfying conclusion which deservedly ends a fine show. The only thing I'm not too sure about is was there ever an attempt on the life of Clement Atlee? If not, why did Gary prevent an assassination on someone who never was victim of an assassination attempt. That said though, it was a great send off.
