As a Yank I was drawn in after seeing episodes on my local public television station(s) and firmly hooked.
It's well-written, and great attention to detail in terms of set dressing, costumes and miscellaneous information about the times make it absorbing for anyone interested in the period. The soap opera aspect is just a plus.
This is funny and charming and a lovely way to lose yourself in another time. The actors (all) are very good and have excellent comic timing, as well as a talent for the dramatic.
My husband and I invested in an all-zone DVD player just so that we could purchase this, as it's not available in US format.
Highly recommended for any swing dancer, historian or Anglophile Yanks out there!

I received this as a gift for Christmas, and was extremely pleased with it. I am a huge fan of Nicholas Lyndhurst, and he plays the part of Gary, a bigomist with dual lives in wartime 1940's London and mid 1990's London perfectly. His battle to do the right thing whilst knowing he is doing wrong is a theme throughout the entire series. His MI5 persona in wartime London is executed with incredible acting and the whole series is a joy to watch.
The brilliantly written scripts are acted excellent throughout the series. The ending is done especially well. This is a bargain for all 50+ episodes.
This is a really enjoyable series, and a nice boxset to add to any collection.

Format:DVD
The perfect collection for a big fan, wanting to buy all the dvds, having the chance to have them all in this gorgeous tin was perfect, it also includes postcards with the characters on. Hours and hours of brilliant viewing, took me 2 weeks to watch the whole boxset, and thats without the extras! Includes fascinating interviews and finally all the series's out on dvd, if you have never seen goodnight sweetheart it's a must, it's a light family timetravelling comedy that'll never age! It contrasts between the hectic modern day stressful days to the endearing, traditional, innocent war time days, and gary manages to fit into both and the troubles and scrapes he gets into!
A real must, it's on top form with all the other great 'marks and gran' comedies!

Concept ruined by "canned laughter"
A cracking tale, full of surprising turns, but once again a victim of the British disease of adding canned laughter to what is a wonderful idea. Read more
