Phoebe and Yvonne are both struggling with the side effects of being pregnant. Whether it’s morning sickness or mood swings, Gary is still trying to get to grips with how the two ladies of his life are coping. Yvonne reminds Gary that they are looking after their nephew for a few days. A simple task to get them used to parenting. However, looking after a six year old becomes more of a hassle than was first thought as Gary loses him, with the possibility that the little lad may have found his way back to the 1940s.

I was lucky enough to talk with Dave from Idiot Box Books, which is the company that is hoping to raise enough funds to get a new Goodnight Sweetheart book published.

Dave and I talk about our shared love for Goodnight Sweetheart, and why they have chosen to revive the classic sitcom in book form.

When the option of a seventh series of Goodnight Sweetheart was turned down by the BBC, there were so many questions about what Gary Sparrow was up to after the 2016 special episode.

Well now we may get the answers as Idiot Box Books have teamed up with Goodnight Sweetheart writers, Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, in the hope that enough funds can be raised so that we can potentially get series seven, in the form of a book.

Listen to snippets of interviews with Marks and Gran, including an exclusive clip which can only be heard here on 'A Trip Down Ducketts Passage'.

Gary is feeling the pressure as he contemplates what being a father is going to be like whilst living in two decades, fifty years apart. Yvonne drops a bombshell that leads her to question if the memorabilia shop is financially worth keeping. Back in the 40s, a ‘get rich quick’ plan nearly lands Gary in trouble with the police.
