[edit] PlotGary Sparrow is a TV repairman, and unhappily married to the loud and often mocking Yvonne Sparrow. From an underachieving repairman, Gary soon becomes a charismatic time-traveller. This is after discovering a time portal taking him back to a war-torn London, which leads to an East End pub and an attractive bar maid named Phoebe, along with the dim-witted policeman, Reg Deadman. From then on, Gary Sparrow leads a double life, pacing back and forth across time to please the two women in his life closest to his heart, but furtherest apart.In war-torn London, Gary is a talented singer-song writer and a secret agent called away on urgent war work. He claims he has written songs that are in fact, from the future (such as Beatles songs). Gary is Phoebe's ray of sunshine, bringing her pleasures that the war deprives her of (such as chocolate, stockings, and bananas). Posing as a secret agent, Gary manages to constantly return to his life in the 1990s with wife Yvonne, who thinks Gary is away on business, first as a TV repair man, and later working for Ron Wheatcroft as a printing salesman, when he is in fact in the 1940s.However, Gary finds it an ever increasing strain to keep his wife Yvonne and girlfriend Phoebe happy, constantly flitting between the time zones and getting himself tangled in a web of lies and deceit in the process. Despite Gary being a two-timing time traveller, he loves both Yvonne and Phoebe dearly. The lead character often turns to his best friend Ron Wheatcroft, an unlucky-in-love bachelor, to help solve the predicaments his double life has got him into. It often involves Gary creating "cover stories" to tell Yvonne, and Ron having to both relay these stories and take the blame when Yvonne finds them unacceptable or disappointing.In series three, the street that contains the time portal is closed for construction, but Gary manages to find the portal and use it. The construction was for some new shops. In order to continue to use the portal, Gary purchases the shop that now contains the portal and sets up a World War Two memorabilia shop, "Blitz and Pieces". When in war-torn London, Gary then tells Yvonne he is away collecting stock; stock which is in fact bought in the past and brought into the future.Series four sees Gary becoming a bigamist, as he marries Phoebe who he also has a son with. Yvonne becomes the co-creator of a successful organic beauty products company, and is always less dependent on Gary than Phoebe.In the final episode the reason for Gary's ability to travel "back" is revealed.www.nokiabb5directunlocking.wetpaint.comwww.tuts1.2u.co.uk Author: Videomad10000 Keywords: Nicholas Lyndhurst Gary Sparrow rodney trotter nicholas lydhurst goodnight sweetheart bbc itv3 Added: July 3, 2008 ]]>
