As a sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart would be VERY expensive,
It tended to use quite a few exterior shots which were all WW2 period.
Set construction and dressing costs would be eye popping IMHO.
With a new series set in the '60's you would have the same problems.
IIRC the revival show only had Gary walking the Streets in the Modern side of the time barrier.
