Sally Thomsett (left), Richard O’Sullivan and Paula Wilcox ponder the pleasures and pitfalls of mixed flatting in a repeat series of one of Thames Television’s most successful comedies, “Man About the House.” It screens on Two
at 7 p.m. It is set in the era of the “swinging seventies,” the “permissive society” where “anything goes.” Jo and Chrissy need a third person to share the rent, and Robin needs somewhere to live. The solution seems obvious
— especially when Robin turns out to be a catering student and a dab hand at oeufs Catalienne and the girls are dreading a future of tins and instant mash. But there are other people who need to be con-
vinced — Mr and Mrs Roper (Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce) who live downstairs. The first episode uncovers their mixed reactions to the idea of the new domestic set-up upstairs.
