man about the house (1974)


"Look you can't just buy people off."
A property developer is buying up all the houses in the street in order to demolish them and put up an office block. Mildred Roper (Yootha Joyce) and the flat mates, Robin (Richard O'Sullivan), Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) and Jo (Sally Thomsett) are set against it, but George Roper (Brian Murphy) can only think of the money...
Lacking the fluidity and charisma of the TV series, this is none the less a passable comedy, from an obviously less pc age, and features cameo's from some Thames TV stars of the time including Spike Milligan.
