Michael Sparrow (Phoebe and Gary's Son)
Michael is the son of Phoebe and Gary who is born at the end of Series 4. When first learning of Phoebe's pregnancy, Gary complains to Ron that there is "no bright side" as his child will actually be twenty years older than he is. Michael is in his fifties when in one episode, "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", we see him in the present day. He unwittingly visited Gary's Blitz and Pieces shop and appears to be poverty stricken. Eventually, Gary remedies the situation by setting up a trust-fund for Michael in the 1940s.
(Gary's son as an adult was played by Ian Lavender, most famous as Pike in another Second World War-set sitcom, Dad's Army)
