Man About the House: It's Only Money

Man About the House: It's Only Money
ITV
12 September 1973
Sitcom
DVD
B

Solid, funny episode with the roommates, who've been one month behind in the rent since at least before Robin moved in, worrying about losing the rent.  There's enough universality in the plot for it to be adapted for Three's Company, although such details as the telly license and the anti-"pig" poster on the door are certainly of this particular time and place.  Note that Chrissy and Jo have the same workplace, although I don't think it's yet been mentioned that they're secretaries.

Colin McCormack has his first of three MAtH roles as one of the Policemen, while the other, Derek Seaton, would return as an Agent.  On the other hand, Bank Manager Ken Watson would later play a Policeman twice.  Michael Segal makes his first appearance as Jim, the Landlord of the pub, which I guess means pub-owner, although we just see him tending bar.
