Anecdotes
Writers Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer were inspired to create Man About The House after noticing increasing numbers of advertisements in the London press for flatmates of either gender - until the early 1970s it was usual for flatsharing households to be all male or all female.

Générique farfelu
The closing credits in later series show each credit caption against a still image featuring two 'female' objects and one corresponding 'male' object (eg drinks or item of clothing). One still image used features two cooking utensils as the 'female' items and a spanner as the 'male' item. This is ironic given that in the show Robin is a cookery student while Chrissy and Jo are self-confessed terrible cooks.

Great cast. Naughty, but not filthy. Good, clean, sexy fun!

I found the first four episodes of MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE, and I'm scouring eBay and Amazon for more! This show is pretty damn funny. I never liked the American version, and now I know why. The acting in this is far superior! Richard O'Sullivan is funny without resorting to inane slapstick -- ok, there's a bit of it, but the British do it so much better (as evidenced by Benny Hill). Sally Thomsett is cute without being dumb, and shows her wit time and time again. And Paula Wilcox combines sexy, smart, and sassy like no one I've ever seen. You won't find a more talented trio.

Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy are the -- dare I say -- threesome's perfect foils. Not the lecherous landlords of the American version, but naughty and enjoyable.

Would love to see this on TV on this side of the pond. As it is, I'll have to buy PAL and have it converted to NTSC. A small price to pay for superior, saucy, sexy fun!
