Episode 1

Don't Get Around Much Any More

After six months Gary is persuaded to return to the past by Ron to invest money so that, fifty years later, the interest will be huge. Telling Phoebe he has been in America working on a musical, he learns that her father was killed in an air-raid and that she's now the Royal Oak landlady. He deposits the money in a bank straight out of 'Dad's Army' but when, in the present, he and Ron return, they find that the money was invested in a firm which went bust in 1957.

Episode 2

I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good

In the doghouse with Yvonne over his fertility problem, Gary takes coffee and other treats back to the Royal Oak, only to find Phoebe's head turned by a handsome Czech officer called Ludo. Since he wants to invest her late father's money in a dodgy pension scheme and is thinking of changing his name to Robert House, Gary sends him packing - to Phoebe's displeasure. Policeman Reg helps him drown his sorrows, but that means when he steps back into the present he is over the limit and gets done for drunk driving.

Who's Taking You Home Tonight?

As cover for his time travel, Gary tells Yvonne he works late for Ron and feels obliged to take her to dinner at an Indian restaurant. However, Phoebe has arranged to cook him a special meal on the same night, which involves much climbing in and out of the restaurant toilet window to travel back and forward in time. An air-raid bails him out where Phoebe is concerned, but Ron's marriage pays the price for Gary's present day excuses.
