Man About The House was considered to be daring at the time when it was first released, as it featured a man living in a flat with two single women.
The show tracks the chaotic lives of Chrissy and Jo and their new flatmate Robin, who ends up moving in with them after they find him asleep in their bathtub following a wild farewell party for their previous flatmate.
It stars Richard O’Sullivan, Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomset and aired for six series from 1973 to 1976.
Two spin-off series were later made, George and Mildred and Robin’s nest, and a film version of the series was released in 1974.
In the US, the series was remade as Three’s Company in 1977.
That’s TV can be found on channel 56 on your Freeview box, and often plays re-runs of beloved shows, such as Steptoe and Son and Benidorm.
