Did you know
- TriviaIn "One For The Road", it is discovered that Robin's middle name is Oswald. Chrissy points out that his initials spell the word ROT.
- Crazy creditsThe 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.

Featured review
Classic British sit-com
I absolutely love old British TV series, and especially in the sit-com department they beat all other countries. I remember this particular series quite well even though I haven't seen it in a long time, luckily it's now available on VHS/DVD so I'll be buying it soon. Nothing beats that atmospheric shot-on-videotape look most British TV shows had in the '70s, when filmed indoors. Richard Sullivan is great as the guy the two girls find in their bathroom, and the two actresses are also both excellent. Terrific stuff. The series had two spin-offs; "George & Mildred" (about the landlord and his wife) and "Robin's Nest" (Sullivan's character minus the girls). Those who think the American version "Three's Company" is better only need to look at the amount of episodes it had, and suddenly it's not so funny anymore. I think the fact that "Three's Company" was filled with more characters and ran for a whopping 172 episodes compared to the original's small cast and 39 episodes says it all. Overdoing it kills any show, and the Brits always knew quantity is not the same as quality.
