Gary Sparrow is an unhappily married TV repairman, who one day unwittingly walks into a time warp. Totally disorientated, he thinks he's in a 1940s theme pub, until he falls in love with the landlord's daughter.

Gary, after refusing to buy a new suit for a job interview in 1993, buys one to take Phoebe to a dance in 1940.

Gary returns to 1940 to try to protect Phoebe and Eric from an impending air raid, but nearly ends up in prison.

Ron agrees to print identity papers for Gary's trips to 1940 - but at a price. Phoebe worries about her future living arrangements now that she's intent on leaving the pub.

Yvonne gives Gary an ultimatum about his wartime obsession, as he decides whether to return to 1940, or back home to 1995. Ron makes him an offer that he can't refuse.
