minitots I've just recently begun watching this amazing and brilliant English comedy - Goodnight Sweetheart.Why has it been hiding, and not been "out there" in a more obvious way?Due to the fact I so admire Nicholas Lyndhurst, I've been scanning the internet for all the works he's been in. Low & behold, I stumbled across this - GNSH. Ohhh but why were these fabulous actors on for only 6 series? Being presented with a comedy which has British quick-witted, intelligent & amusing dialogue amongst first-rate tremendous actors, does not happen often! I truly believe that Nicholas Lyndhurst has finally broken the mould as "Rodney" - He stands strong & separate from his Rodney character, although I loved him & Sir. David Jason in Only Fools. Alas! he's also great in another sitcom - New Tricks.Nicholas Lyndhurst can inspire anyone's imagination about re-living the past... He tends to inspire "what if I could go back and..." His acting is convincing.I wonder if the writers will want to make GNSH II - Will all the original actors want to make a come-back? I haven't finished the GNSH episodes yet (I'm taking my time with the great sitcom), however I'm sure there is potential for Part II? the return - possibly as "Goodnight Sweetheart - Modern Day Marvels (1998)" Is there anyone out there to convey this message to the writers?I'm putting it out there into the Universe - It might attract the right attention?Mr. Lyndhurst you are adored in the land of Oz, MiniTots Loves your acting!
studioAT Nicholas Lyndhurst has always worked hard to shed the tag of his most famous creation of Rodney Trotter and this show, made at the height of Only Fools and Horses' fame is an example of this.We shouldn't like Gary Sparrow. He's a bigamist, a liar and a fraud. But due to Lyndhurst's portrayal we do. In the hands of Marks and Gran the show is well-written, sharply funny, and finds the balance between comedy and drama. When they started farming it out to other writers though the quality dipped. The show also has to be credited for surviving the departure of its two leading ladies. Much like 'Cheers' fans debate the Shelley Long vs. Kirstie Alley years 'Goodnight Sweetheart' fans do the same.It's not always a consistent show, but you can see why the BBC are bringing it back for a one off because it was a solid, engaging sitcom.
balen1-1 Love this Show, I would not miss it, takes me back to the 40's and makes one realize just how lucky we are now, although we complain about things, We had it tough in those days. The program is amusing, and that is what is was meant to be. Think all the Actors played their parts very well, Loved Ron and Reg. The American Episode was near the mark, they thought they had won the war for us. And that is what they were like. I remember the Underground Stations-Air Raid Shelters. Loved the Noel Coward Episodes. Seeing the Ritz. OH! Yes Did I tell you that I love the Show, it is still on here in Sydney on UK TV. Thanks to the Actors and Writers etc:
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.
