A resounding success over five series between 1980 and 1983, this Thames Television comedy is set in the delightfully chaotic home of Dudley and Muriel Rush, whose daughters, Jacqui and Susan, satisfy a hankering for freedom by moving into the family’s vacant basement flat. Dudley is a gifted cartoonist but an inveterate procrastinator with a fondness for practical jokes, who finds it hard to concentrate amid an ever-increasing number of distractions – to the despair of his long-suffering agent, Duncan. But at least he can still keep an eye on his wayward daughters, and their visitors...
"I was absolutely delighted that this series has finally been released on DVD having been such a big fan when it was originally broadcast. The excellent script and performances well stand the test of time and bring back some great memories for me. Having the chance to watch this series again highlights just what an excellent comedy performer Robert Gillespie is, his timing is perfection, and the combination of wicked mischieviousness and childlike innocence makes his character so endearing. He simply never stops in each episode and the supporting cast are all excellent." - Amazon.com review.
