Gary Sparrow, the TV repairman living with his wife in London in the 1990s accidentally finds the portal that would allow him to move in time to 1940s London and back. The war was still on, German bombers was flying over the city, but Gary found the reason to keep visiting the past - barmaid Phoebe.
Series set in two eras - 1990s and 1940s with a simple tv repairman stuck between two women - his wife in 1990s and a barmaid in 1940s. His indecision between the two women is one of the most important plots in the series - he tries to run both lifes at the same time and if possible make the best of the situation.
It is one of the few comedy series that mix the classical comedy with elements of science fiction. For a while the idea actually worked, but parts of the plot that involved his relationships with both women often were moving too far into romance flick.
