GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART: Series 1, Episode 1 (Part 1 of 3)

[Mkskes15]

By the way, am I the only one who loves Yvonne as much as Phoebe.

Phoebe depends on Gary much more but Yvonne is more independent.

I loved Dervla Kirwan and Michelle Holmes!! Great Actresses!!

[Mkskes15]

Ahhh, what a classic. Love it!!

Oh, and I love Phoebe!!

[MrJayel27]

So many reasons i love this show,..Nicholas Lyndhurst coupled with my fascination with World War 2....and a definate air of the nineties all in one programme!

[honzanoel]

@MrJayel27 My word! Exactly all the elements as to why I love this.

[munichmouse]

I loved this show. Thank you for uploading. It is such a good series

[87654321j]

that bit he said about the A to Z is so true LMAO love this show thanks so much for uploading :)

[haberdasherswater]

I wanted to know what Goodnight Sweetheart was and the historical drama and Rodney Trotter? Dream come true...

[rmkw4291]

Whose cackle is that at 4:40 after the joke about The Who?

why did she that one joke very amusing?

[deancorleone]

Ok, so I started watching the series 9 days ago, finished ALL 6 series, and am now starting again, great escapism!! Thanks for uploadnig :D and thanks Neonkt for the rest if you get to read this!!

[denial987]

I always found Dervla Kirwan and her accent (since hearing it and seeing her on BallyKissAngel) dead sexy!

[TimBrewin]

@denial987 Hell yeah.

[Potionette81]

I love 1940s ladies' fashion, so elegant. I love the outfits Madonna wears in Evita too.

[2j4ez]

The pub is in hoxton in the eastend about 10 mins walk from the station

The Royal Oak 73 Columbia Road Shoreditch E2 7RG

[plutopianation]

Ron's the man!!!

[firstborn1988gorsaga]

How many legends were created out the 1980s music. The early 1990s were a terrible period musically. Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead, Suede came about in the 1990s but I have to say 1990s music is generally only passable.  And I was a teenager in the 90s, who longed for the fun of the 80s to come back.

[stevewhu]

3rd time watching the whole series again.. love it.

[PhilNile]

Here I am again about the watch one of the greatest shows ever. Def in my top 5.

[numpt13]

quality comedy from the 90s

[darkstar1345a]

i have never seen a series where the star of the show is an absolute piece of human garbage !!!!

[93DOL]

Nicholas Lyndhurst has turned 50 today

[HumanRaceOfYourKnees]

The 90s seems innocent compared to now. No 9/11 no illeagal wars no celeb obsessed society no global crisis no bollocks banking system based on debt no Internet pedos no dumb down education no major reliance on technology.no mobile phones No fuckin lol or lmao. I'm not even 30 and I'm already looking back.I wonder how i will be in another 15yrs. Good oldschool show tho. Peace

[HaniiPuppy]

@HumanRaceOfYourKnees The 90s were a period signified crappy techno, indie games, the death of classic rock, and as that annoying time in which people who had left the 80s were waiting for the 2000s to begin.

[rtozier2011]

@HaniiPuppy Nirvana, Oasis, Blur, myself and others would disagree. Conversely, I can find almost nothing from the 80s musically which to me is more than passable.

[merseynational]

@HumanRaceOfYourKnees They where just getting ready for it.

[jimmeduk]

Here i go again!

[jsilence418]

I used to like this series way back, could never remember the name couldn;t remember the song! thanks for posting!,

[Demonmixer]

Why in the hell did Gary shack up with a twat like Yvonne in the first place? She's such an irritating little thing. Should get shot of that soon as!

[andreathorpe]

LOVE IT

[tescoskick]

aha ths was shit lol

[CarlBewley]

@tescoskick - It wasnt . . but your comment made me laugh :)

[AnimeC0NAN]

Just thought i'd tell you people that the song at the beginning is "No Limit" by 2 Unlimited.

[flapperjj95]

brilliant

[ohmygodfatherscat]

Definitely buying this series this week. A show this great deserves to make profit :) Doesn't stop me watching it on here first though lol

[CuckooNow]

Two people missed the "Like" button, because they were made in Germany.

[pufferfishish]

Final episode is shown again on ITV2 this Wednesday folks. That episode always reminds me of the movie 'Frequency' with Dennis Quaid. Hankies at the ready...

[pufferfishish]

@pufferfishish sorry, meant ITV3.

[wallydhonk]

Up there with Red Dwarf for me.

[BluntedKillah]

@wallydhonk true love em both great sitcoms u av great taste aswel m8 :)

[adamscott]

one of the great comedies of the 90s that got forgotten, like the brittas empire

[Sadakogirl]

A date with whose girlfriend?

[Woodlander65]

Brilliant series, watching them all again on ITV3.

[djfaster100]

thats a tune wats on at first

[TheIkaraCult]

this was a really underestimated programme, so glad to find it up on youtube.

[fallios]

was this filmed at the same time as OFAH? says it was the 90s OFAH started in the 80s, so was rodney doing this and OFAH at same time?

[markturner1970]

@fallios Yes there would've been a point when he was in both at the same time but OFAH was on its way out at the time, only doing the xmas specials I think.

[606revo]

out of sync

[BAddie89]

the rant at 3:17 isnt it the same one del boy does in only fools and horses when their in the A-bomb shelter?

[hazardaew]

@BAddie89 i had thought the very same thing some years ago while watching the episode 'the russian are coming'

[firestartertwistedfi]

hmmm what did we ever see in it?

[fep70]

Seems odd that Ron's his best buddy, always covering for him throughout the show. Yet they only met in the first episode.

[RW91Motorfaces]

god, why why why why why !!!!!!!!!!! I can't stop watching goodnight sweetheart. I think this is the 6 or 7th time in a row. Thanks for uploading these, great stufff

[covladuk1985]

because the though of going into the past is a real thing that people would like to do!

[BluntedKillah]

starting them all again for the 7th time luv them thnx lesather for putting these on youtube

[mat876]

you would never ever tell pheobe is irish in real life, she does an amazing london accent,

[ingridmadonna7]

i love this

[numberonebeatlesfan9]

check out my channel for a great british comedy. called dear john i have all the first series uploaded

[Flipflopab]

SHIT!

[BluntedKillah]

i love the first 6 episodes i watch em all the times they never bore me

[MrMarkeymarks]

Just finished watching all 6 series of this superb program on here. I never appreciated how excellent it truly was, and how every episode is interlinked. True masterpiece and worth watching

[evernetherall]

Sorree but I LUV "Rodney" inna nice suit! Yesh yesh I know this ain't OFAH but seein'em inna delivery fella's uniform just put me in mind ... it's ok, .I'm justa ol' lady.

LOL //~_~\\

[thetruespin]

Its funny how they made Yvonne more and more horrible as the series progressed. Maybe so the viewers didn't end up disliking gary... At the start she is quite nice to him

[stevewhu]

love this. thanks.

[bonangusacdc]

It's great to see this show again. Thanks for uploading it.

[hotstuff756]

watch this everyday on itv 3i lyk the last one they made i think myself thats the best one but enjoyed all ov dem good show should make more shows lyk this beatie(lee)

[thecherylmay]

thanks 4 postin this show,i enjoyed watchin it.

[pufferfishish]

I remember an episode where something went amiss with the time portal and we see wartime Phoebe appearing from the back shop doorway in the present day- the studio audience went crazy!! It was soooo great; i loved this show :)

[markturner1970]

Yeah that one was on yesterday on ITV3. I always thought Gary n Ron were friends already. Guess not. Good show.

[barronknights]

@markturner1970

Yes, it would make more sense if the backstory/premise was they've known each other for years. Rather than just met because their wives are friends.

[BluntedKillah]

my 5th time round cant get enuf ov it

[birdsfan08]

@BluntedKillah

lol Im the same I've watched series 1 - 6 on DVD twice this year already and Im hoping to start again before Xmas

[JozhsterV2]

[Barkermush]

I remember watching this when i was a kid growing up. I forgot all about it till i saw it on TV the other day.

I used to love it when i was younger but i can't remember much of the storylines cos i was that young before but i remember it was really good and the one i watched on TV the other day was still good now when i watched it :D

So ordered couple of series on dvd ;)

"SETHGITTE" God you really don't like Nick Lyndhurst do you! Some harsh things you have said there, Jealous now are we?!

[XxSallyXxJxX]

The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for K554 CRX are: Date of Liability 01 03 2009 01 03 2009 Date of First Registration 29 10 1992 Year of Manufacture 1992 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1391CC CO2 Emissions Not Available  Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour SILVER Vehicle Type Approval null

[kirkwanglers32]

Cor Nice Fanny Sparow fill Yourr Boots i like Blondes COR

[KlashaB12]

this show wasent as good as only fools but still good

[philsaspiezone]

The voice from her telly when she was studying psychology sounded like Loyd Grossman

[dean11081988]

i always wonderd whot it would be like to go back in time to something like the war but i dont think it was just as great as we all think just listen to that comedian that said he had a dreafull time and all the peaple being bombed all the time .but i would love to see gary come back in just one episode just to see how things got on for him and his wife after all this time they should bring it back time for a potition i think haha

[michaelvkelly1]

Gary develops a posher accent as the show gets into the latter series.

[Snagprophet]

best show i've watched in ages, must get it on dvd

[kirkwanglers32]

ID get Into Blondeys Knikis COR

[kirkwanglers32]

TAM PAX

[YORKIE230557]

This new series caught my attention straight away-I love anything to do with time travel as long as its not too far fetched-But what lets it down for me is-Why is Gary the only one that can go back and forward in time?And to top it all-he has a mate that has his own printing firm and is capable of printing off as many fake fivers for Gary whenever he asks.

[CiaranMcVeigh]

Goodnight Sweetheart is my favourite sitcom. For me it wasn't always hilariously funny but it's so easy and relaxing to watch. The overall time travel concept in it is highly original and when I first watched it in the mid 1990's it was this that drew me in. Watching these episodes again has also made me think that Nicholas Lyndhurst would make a very good Doctor Who. Thank you to you and the other users who posted every episode of this wonderful TV show. Good job! :)

[Georgiahulse]

Same here - I didn't simply watch it for the comedy side of things, I enjoyed seeing the re-enactment of London life in the early 1940s; history has always been a subject of great interest to me, especially social history.

However, Nicholas Lindhurst as much as I like him, comes across as a little bit of a weak actor. It suits him great in Only Fools, but he just doesn't fill the criteria for me - always seems a bit hesitant and nervous on set. He's still a great all-round bloke though!!

[conifer123456]

does anyone know if he ended up with yvonne or phoebe in the end?

[ShoulderAB07]

Mega Spoiler on how the series ended:

In the last episode Gary is back in 1945, unfortunately when he trys to return to the present the portal is closed. So he is stuck in 1945.

In the present Ron tells Yvonne the truth - which incredibly she believes. The last scene sees Yvonne standing in the ally in the present - while Gary is standing in the same ally in the past.

[AnglOsAxOn2]

He chose to stay with phoebe.

[Pookinpookin]

He didn't choose to stay, he bottled out at the last minute and chose to abandon Phoebe and his son to go back to Yvonne. However, when he got to the portal he was too late; it had closed. He was left in 1945 as Shoulder says, forced to take responsibility for the family he started.

[AnglOsAxOn2]

Yea i got that recently having wacthed the last episode.Was years since i had seen and forgot

[michaelvkelly1]

yeah but he didnt choose to abandon pheobe either, he was just going to keep on as he was, going between the two. but then like you say he was forced to stay in 1945.

[huweybaby]

No he got stuck.

He stopped an assasination attempt on someone, and later on hen he tried to get back the portal was gone, and that the reason he got sent back in time was to stop the assasination.

Now that i think about it quite a shit ending...

[markturner1970]

@huweybaby It was Clement Atlee the future Prime Minister and Gary realised that was what he was there for.

[Georgiahulse]

Remember when this used to be on - I love the intro music and still screen at the beginning.

[burnleyfan1965]

one minor mistake in this is we believe Gary first meets Ron at the party but in the next episode we are led to believe theyve been friends for ages,but this especially the first 23 series was brilliant.Thought Reg and Ron were as much stars as Gary,phoebe and Yvonne

[graphicism]

Great thanks for this! was searching for a while and couldn't remember the name of it.

[blakeeybwoii]

Found the final ever episode really sad! =( amazing programme up there with the best! <3

[pride4evatc]

worst show ever

[alienatedfreak23]

how come?

[hartnell114]

i never did likethat ugly frigid witch he was married to...

[alienatedfreak23]

lol...never heard that expression being used before...nyways..checked your channel..cool.. :) how long have youve been watching goodnight sweetheart?

[hartnell114]

haha its a good word!

i used to watch it when it was very first on! lol, thensome repetes recently lead me to find them here on youtube,and ive been watching them here...for a few hours lol, how about you?

[alienatedfreak23]

i sort of started to watch some of dervla's old works after she was on doctor who's christmas special last year and found this..got hooked..i watched up till series 3 here and spent literally hours on youtube..good show..but found it silly after they changed the actress' though..

[hartnell114]

she was in that?

i didnt realise that,im going to go back and look at it again! haha

it is strange when people suddenly swap people to play the same part, sometimes it can destroy a show, but it went on for 6 series! haha so it couldnt have been that bad a change,im sure she had her reasons for leaving=[

ive been watching it all here but im only up to the first episode of series 3 haha,i remember a laterone with noel coward and he is trying to stop his picture being taken,i think thats my fav

[pufferfishish]

Which one? There were two Yvonnes; the first one I think was Michelle Holmes but can't remember the other one. They also recast Phoebe- originally Dervla Kirwan and later played by Elizabeth Carling. Does anyone know if the changeover happened at the same time?

[alienatedfreak23]

@pufferfishish yup..by series 4, Gary's wives have changed actresses

[vaudevilleUK]

It did, both changed at the start of Series 4; Yvonne was then played by Emm Amos.

[markturner1970]

@pufferfishish Yes at the start of series 3 I think. And it was Emma Amos.

[fep70]

@markturner1970 Series 4

[funkg]

Its showing again on virgin 1 during the daytime (im off sick)

[mugwump666]

Wow, that caught e by surprise! I thought it was a regular sitcom til he went into the bar.

[MrsWilliamTheBloody]

Thank you SO much for putting this up!

I looked for this on youtube quite a while back, but there were only about 4 videos that came up.

I LOVE THIS SHOW. Season 1, 2 and 3 are FANTASTIC...Then they change the women >.>

[burnleyfan1965]

First 3 series were brilliant then it got a bit silly with Yvonnes political career etc and they changed the actresses.

[Peeve95]

i wish i could go back in time.

especially to the 90's as i dont remember it (:

[visor19990]

Dervla Kirwan is such a beautiful actress, i used to have a crush on her in the 90s

[alienatedfreak23]

she is rather nice isnt she? used to? haha..some ppl i know still do..

[CoRRupTioN1986]

well i dont blame em, she still looks just as good at 40

[alienatedfreak23]

she's 37...38 this october....

[MrsWilliamTheBloody]

I know! She's amazing. I was SO sad when she left the series - I refused to keep watching.

[standardbrit]

This is like a bottle of 'essence of the nineties'. Hilarious, not in the way it was intended.

[ninestrata]

Thank you thank you thank you !!!

[Peeve95]

the best phoebe was the 1st one .. but 2nd yvonne was best but before she got all business type.

series just finished at itv 3 so im watching in again... love itt so much.. thankss :)

[smck2009]

The first Yvonne and Phoebe were the best

HATED the replacements

[Bigaid]

the first yvonne was well sexy!!!

[MisinterpretedMonkey]

This programme is truely...terrible and Gary Sparrow is behind every atrocity ever.

[LadyCayenne]

Why oh why can't I find an alleyway that leads straight back into the 60s!!!!

[Amphy002]

I just noticed that Nicolas Lyndhurst has a strong cockney accent in the first episode which he drops in later ones. By the next series he's completely middle class - different from Phoebe, who remains east end throughout.

[stevieeng34]

No he doesn't.

[MythofDemocracy]

Thanks for posting, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this series.

:)

[TheJediCharles]

British television is categorically more inventive, and this series is a great example of that fact.

[405izzyride]

this series rocks!!!!

[brightonfan]

Fantastic, I love goodnight sweetheart.

[covladuk1985]

I never understood how and why he could travel back in time and only he could do it untill series 5 :S

[covladuk1985]

Brilliant!

[ThylacineAli]

My mum and me love watching this! I think it's really funny when he says that The Beatles songs are his, lol. :P

[LadyCayenne]

I am addicted to this!!!!

[twoslices]

Is this available on DVD in America?

[lesather]

Unfortunately not. I don't know why, except that it seems to have only gotten a limited viewing by PBS stations, so they may figure it wouldn't be a popular choice. I don't even think BBC America has run it.

[CharlieSlater]

Ahh right i get u!

Cheers for clearing that up mate!

[CharlieSlater]

how did the entrance portal change from down that alley, to the back of his shop?

[lesather]

In the last episode of series 2 construction is seen as the old buildings in that area are taken down to make way for the new 'modern' shops. In the Christmas Special (between series 2 and 3) is when Gary rents the shop that has the portal out the back and this remains until the end of series 6.

[Nicatroubadour]

I had a thought today. Well you know how Gary steps into victorian England in series 6 and you know Gary gets stuck in the 1940s at the end. Well when he stumbled on the victorian era he came from the 40s - not the 90s. So he may be still able to do that. if this was a spin off then he would be going back to see yvone lookalike and it would be full circle, imagine how screwed garys head would be then.

[zeppodeboo]

A ridiculous plot, but so brillantly scripted and acted by some top people that it became a cult hit. Absolutely loved it!

[dellinashell]

i proper LOVE this program, been watchin it for years and still dont get bored of it!

[trunksGav]

It wud be great if they brough it bk for onwe mroe series but at same time it cud spoil it. timeportal shut n thats how itb shud be left. not giving too much away if u never seen it b4. but it wud probably spol if new series

[Nemie125]

I often thought it might be interesting if Yvonne, once she knows the truth, seeks Gary out as an OAP.

[adam10185]

quite an under rated show, always liked it.

[1whatthe2]

BRILLIANT SHOW

[muppetspuppets]

does anyone have the very last episode of this show ?

[mia444simone]

Accentuate the Positive ? Yes , but this is on series 6 so is there another ? Rgds Simone

[Outstep31]

yeah, in my playlist

[trunksGav]

i do ave them all on dvd.. Absolute brillaint show who thoghut the creators of birds of a feather cud do a show like this. geneius.

[deadworkersparty]

This is an awesome premise for a show, and well executed.

[mia444simone]

I Love Goodnight Sweetheart , Dervla Kirwan steals the show so the transition between series 3 & 4 is difficult but still good. This is also an excellent progression for Nicolas Lyndhurst . Thanks for posting this great show.

[craigyboi17]

he aint no other charatcer apart from rodney trotter we only recongnize him by tht

[mousharilla]

thanks so much to whoever posted this =D

[mousharilla]
