Ron Wheatcroft

Ron Wheatcroft

Ronald "Ron" Wheatcroft was a character in the popular BBC sitcom "Goodnight Sweetheart". He was portrayed by Victor McGuire.

Ron was the best friend and confidante of main character and adulturer (later bigamist) Gary Sparrow. As a Master Printer with his own business Ron was able to provide Gary with appropriate war time currency and documentation.

Ron's fortunes dwindled as the show progressed. In the earlier series he was married to Stella (a character who made few on-screen appearances) but the marriage ended in series 4. In addition he was forced to sell his business(although he remained at the company). In addition due to his "playboy lifestyle" his flat and possessions were repossessed after the bank declined to extend his overdraft. His fortunes improved however when he moved into the West End flat which Gary had purchased for himself in the past. He even started having a relationship with the wealthy socialite Flic (the relationship however only lasted for a few months).

Gary and Ron had a co-dependent friendship; without Ron, Gary had no-one to aid him with his time-travelling problems and Ron did not appear to have any friends other than Gary.

Although a Liverpudlian, Ron is shown wearing Manchester United kit during series 4.
