Goodnight Sweetheart

Goodnight Sweetheart was a British sitcom that was broadcast between 1993 and 1999 starring Nicholas Lyndhurst, in which Lyndhurst's character Gary Sparrow comes across a time portal in the East End of London which allows him (and only him) to travel between the modern day and World War 2. The time in both periods progresses at a steady rate so during the six series of the programme the whole of the war is seen out.
