Storyline

Gary opens a shop selling war-time memorabilia brought back from the past in Duckett's plaza, a shopping parade on the site of the passage. Jayne Mansfield, the estate agent who helped him get the shop, tries to seduce him and when he resists, tells Yvonne he made a pass at her. However he convinces Yvonne this is not true and Yvonne pours coffee in her computer. Whilst actually going on a skiing holiday with Yvonne, Gary tells the Royal Oak regulars that he has to go to Singapore, at which point it is announced that America has entered the war.
