Series 2, Episode 5 - Wish Me Luck...

Yvonne is in line for promotion, and Gary suspects that he is only holding her back. Life in 1941 seems more and more appealing, and Gary feels it may be time for him to make a choice, even if that means faking his own suicide. But then banjo-wielding George Formby rears his head in the past.
