Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

shellcara12345 This is a great 90's comedy. It's cute and clever. Not everyone will appreciate or understand the humor from 90's UK but I remember watching the show at the time and it's still very funny. Similar to Pie In The Sky or Hamish McBeth.

ColinBaker The pleasure of this series is watching all the cast play a pure fantasy absolutely straight, a critical hurdle for the show's credibility. We are therefore left with one basic premise: this is about a time travelling bigamist! From 1997, the roles of the two women in Gary Sparrow's life were taken over by different actresses. Elizabeth Carling (who became better known as Celia in Casualty) followed Dervla Kirwan's gentle homely portrayal of Phoebe, but when Emma Amos took over Yvonne from Michelle Holmes, the character became softer and more sympathetic, while paradoxically becoming more successful in the era of New Labour (you could argue that the series says as much about the 1990s as it does about the war years).I agree with the poster who said that the series lost its way a little towards the end, with one episode in which Gary goes the wrong way through the time portal and ends up being accused of a murder committed by Jack The Ripper. Worse still was one with a dream sequence in which Phoebe and Yvonne force Gary to choose between them.It was correct that the series ended with the end of the war, and that the viewer should be left to speculate about what happened to Gary, Phoebe, Michael and Reg in the past, and Yvonne, Ron, Stella and Reg's grandson in the present. It could however be said that there's something of a political statement in the idea that all along Gary's mission in the past was to save Clement Attlee, thus giving Britain a very progressive Government.Very enjoyable though.

postmaster-190 This is a lovely, gentle comedy. Nicholas Lyndhurst proves his versatility in his portrayal of Gary Sparrow, a man genuinely torn between two women. The two female leads are also interesting - sarcastic Yvonne, dynamic yet insecure and practical Pheobe, strong but also insecure. Despite the fact that he is a cheat, you find yourself sympathising with Gary's situation. He loves and needs both women, and his struggle is agonising. Some of the episodes are a bit predictable, but even this is forgivable and the series as a whole is well worth a watch. The music, clothing and behaviour of the characters is nostalgic, touching, funny and sad all at once. Fabulous!

Frankbill This is a one-idea weak comedy based around Nicholas Lyndhurst who is wooden throughout. A decent support cast including the friendly bobby can't rescue a predictable and painful series of slight variations on the same old plot. Not funny and could have been written by ten year old. No credibility even for a "fantasy" style plot.
