Comedy M-R
Man About The House1973 Thames Television A comedy great. Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett star as Chrissie and Jo, two flatmates sharing a central London flat. After a wild party, they find catering student Robin (Richard O'Sullivan) asleep in the bath. He's invited to stay when they discover his cooking beats theirs. These titles, filmed almost entirely outside Waterloo tube station, are highly amusing, if only because Thomsett's name appears over a shot of her wiggling bottom!
