Series 2, Episode 4 - Who's Taking You Home Tonight?

Gary's fictional job with Ron may cover his trips back in time to 1941, but it's not much help when both Yvonne and Phoebe expect him for dinner on the same evening. For love to find a way, he needs more than a little bit of luck, and a very large stomach.
