Gary takes Michael out in his pram onto White Chapel Road and is nearly killed by a bomb. He is literally blown through the 1940s portal into 1998 carrying his child with him. In shock he takes Michael around to Ron's place, where he unexpectedly encounters Yvonne who has just returned from Switzerland.
After returning to 1944 he and Phoebe decide to move to the West End where it is safe. Gary finds a flat in Mayfair, and discovers that his new neighbour is none other than Noel Coward. | | Guest Stars: David Benson as Noel Coward | | | |
| 39 :05x02 - London Pride (Mar/02/1998) | Gary and Phoebe are getting on very well with their new neighbour, Noel Coward. Phoebe is distressed, however, when she finds that the local tradesmen are not treating her fairly because she has an East End accent. Noel comes to the rescue with some elocution lessons.
Yvonne's business is expanding and she is mixing with Fergie, Baby Spice, Cherie and Tony Blair and all the so-called 'smart' set. | | | |
| 40 :05x03 - When Two Worlds Collide (Mar/09/1998) | When an unexploded bomb goes off in Duckettts Passage Reg suffers a head injury which makes him quite bright mentally, but this is only a temporary thing.
Gary has trouble getting back to 1998 because of the rubble in Duckettts Passage and is shocked to find that Phoebe has followed him through the time portal into the memorabilia shop in 1998. Events take off from here, with the portal to 1944 being temporarily closed. Fortunately Noel Coward is minding little Michael, but when Yvonne and Ron arrive on the scene Gary feels that the situation has gone completely out of control, especially when his two wives meet for the very first time. | | | |
| 41 :05x04 - Mairzy Doats (Mar/16/1998) | Due to the erratic nature of the time portal, Ron is now able to travel back to 1944. Posing as Commander Bond, with an identity heavily dependent on Ian Fleming's James Bond, he pretends to be in Army Intelligence and invites Reg, Margie, Gary and Phoebe to come up to the West End to celebrate Reg's promotion to Scotland Yard.
Temperamentally unprepared for forties London, Ron gets drunk and makes a complete fool of himself, alienating the people around him, especially Gary. | | | |
| 42 :05x05 - Pennies from Heaven (Mar/23/1998) | Gary desperately needs more wartime five pound notes, but Mrs. Flanagan, Ron's employer at the printing works, won't let the staff do private work in company time.
Gary has a complete list of dead certs for the racing results of 1944, but finds that Phoebe is extremely hostile to the idea of him gambling. Nevertheless, Gary goes ahead with his plan for making money and finds an off-course bookie with whom to place his bets at Hackney races. The bookie is a crook who waits to see who nobody has backed and then puts up this horse as a winner. A punch up occurs, and Gary finds himself penniless.
Ron tells Gary to take Mrs. Flanagan out so that he can print the white fivers on the quiet. Mrs. Flanagan is a very highly sexed woman so Gary takes her to the back of the shop and vanishes into the time portal, leaving the lady with the idea that she has a drink problem. | | | | | | |
| 44 :05x07 - ... But We Think You Have to Go (2) (Apr/06/1998) | To his absolute horror Gary finds that he has been tricked, and that he has landed straight into the hands of the Gestapo in Calais. Back in England a cocky Tifty McDuff informs his superiors that the sparrow has landed.
Meanwhile the real Henri Dupont has moved into the Royal Oak with Phoebe, who refuses to sleep with him, spending the night with Margie and sending Reg to sleep at the Royal Oak with Dupont.
Eventually, with the help of Celeste, a beautiful member of the French Resistance, Gary escapes.
