Man about the House


(12)

One morning after a particularly wild party, Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) and Jo (Sally Thomsett) wake up to find Robin (Robin O'Sullivan) sleeping in their bath. He needs a place to live, they need a flatmate that can cook, so they decide to let him live with them. Robin is convinced he's in with a chance with both of them, but he never seems to quite manage to impress either woman enough to get them to go out with him! Further ruining his chances is the dampening presence of landlord George Roper (Brian Murphy) and his wife Mildred (Yootha Joyce)who live downstairs.

Man About the House is a perfect example of the good british sitcoms of the time - slightly genteel, cheeky, fresh, ingenuous, sometimes outrageous, with some well made observations on contemporary life.
