Goodnight Sweetheart

Gary opens a shop selling wartime memorabilia brought back from the past in Duckett’s plaza, a shopping parade on the site of the passage.

Gary returns with Yvonne from the skiing trip and gives Ron a watch, actually set for 1941.

Gary’s shop flourishes whilst Yvonne is depressed at being jobless so Gary applies on her behalf to the Symbion Company, based in Korea.

Detectably counterfeit money notes are flooding the area around the Royal Oak and initially Gary suspects Ron trying to discredit him out of jealousy.

As Ron’s marriage crumbles Gary brags of his prowess with the ladies, only to find that both Yvonne and Phoebe, tired of his absences, are carving out their own social lives.

Phoebe’s young cousins Peter and Sally come to stay at the pub and Gary has more joy with them than he does in the present day.

Gary successfully performs the Beatles’ song which he claims to have penned himself, at a birthday party in the Royal Oak and Mr. Wyx suggests he sell the song to entertainer George Formby to sing at the Hackney Empire.

Phoebe’s husband Donald, who has escaped from the prison camp in Italy, returns.

When Phoebe is ill with pneumonia Gary brings her penicillin, the bottles belonging to Yvonne and Ron, who had some for his poorly dog Sheba. Phoebe recovers and,seeing the name Sheba on the label, suspects Gary is seeing another woman.

When the Yanks come to the Royal Oak Gary is able to get Ron the parts he needs to build his own jeep.

Gary’s parallel lives run parallel as Yvonne puts their house in Cricklewood on the market to move to yuppy heaven with gym and a pool, and Phoebe rents a house in the suburbs from a woman who is moving to Devon.
