Talk:Goodnight Sweetheart (TV series)

message: This is such a sweet TV show. It's a shame I only got to watch a couple of episodes. Does anyone know more about the theme song? 128.12.20.195 04:10, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps someone more familiar with 'Goodnight Sweeetheart' could add to the Jack the Ripper article, under the Television sub-heading.  I remember an episode where Jack the Ripper makes it through the portal and dies in the future, hence his mysterious disappearence in the past.--Commander Keane 11:46, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The article is very good, but I think there is a factual error in relation to the plot of the final episode (no. 63 'Accentuate the Positive'.  After he prevents Clement Attlee from being poisioned, he returns to Ducketts Passage to discover that the time portal has already closed.  He is not presented with any choice - he is trapped in 1945 and it is in this situation that the series ends.
:Someone's probably confused it with #54, "Just in Time", where Gary believes the portal is going to be shut down and facing the choice he decides he has to stay with Phoebe and Michael. Timrollpickering (talk) 00:31, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Perhaps under 'Trivia' some mention should be made of the fact that the little boy who plays Pheobe & Gary's son is actually Christopher Ettridge's son (Reg Deadman) in real life.  The boy is never credited though so I don't know what his first name would be.
:This is in 'One O'Clock Jump' Series 3 Episode 3. The real life son of Christopher Ettridge, who plays the young boy Frank, is Alfie Ettridge Rogers. If you watch Nicholas Lyndhurst's reaction when PC Deadman picks the little boy up, you will see a genuine smile - not acting. The credits are on IMDB. Tedmarynicz (talk) 12:44, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know whether the marked similarities between Goodnight Sweetheart and the 1985 Italian film Non Ci Resta Che Piangere are coincidental, or if there was some kind of a rights buyout as I've heard rumoured but can't find confirmed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.106.152.164 (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the article should say why the two female actors who appeared in the first three series left to be replaced. Having just been watching the show, it is rather odd and creepy when there are two new actors in the same roles at the beginning of the fourth series. 31.48.191.252 (talk) 09:24, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: To add that amount of detail would require a published rationale for the changes (the same thing happens in a lot of series). I personally don't know why, although I have seen the interview with Elizabeth Carling, but I can't remember much about it except she's from the north country.I have added a summary into the intro to cover that there were changes, as these two females were the co-stars, unlike the others (males) in the infobox who were support actors. -Semperito (talk) 02:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Just a big question, but did Rolf Harris get his scene from the show's fifth series, cut out?  I saw mention of this on a forum, so curious about it.  If it is true that his appearance in the show was cut out in replayed episodes, could we amend the line in the article's "Historical figures" section to reflect that possibly?

replies: text: I've just watched a replay on UKTV Gold and the sequence was missing. It can be viewed on youtube. I will add a footnote to address this query, which should be all that's needed. Thanks for pointing this out.-Semperito (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I just watched the Star Trek episode City on the Edge of Forever, where Kirk and Spock chase McCoy through a time portal to the 1930s. At one point in the episode the song Goodnight Sweetheart is played, and the motif continues throughout. I feel like this is too much of a coincidence, but I can't find anything about a connection.
