The ground-breaking Thames Television sitcom Man About the House was first broadcast this month (August), in 1973. It was written by Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke, and ran for 39 episodes over six series.
It was adapted in the US as Three's Company, and also spawned equally successful spinoff series in the UK; George and Mildred and Robin's Nest.
There was a feature film of Man About the House in 1974, and stage and cinema adaptions of George and Mildred.
Yootha Joyce passed away in 1980, just weeks after the release of the George and Mildred feature film.
Richard O'Sullivan reprised his character Robin Tripp for the sequel, Robin's Nest, also starring David Kelly, Tessa Wyatt and Tony Britton.
Robin's Nest (1977-81) was the first sitcom to feature a couple living (and obviously sleeping) together but unmarried, in what was known as a 'common law marriage'. Special permission had to be obtained from the Independent Broadcasting Authority before the show was commissioned.

“Man About the House” 18 (1974)
Yootha Joyce has all the best lines, and gets all the biggest laughs with her impeccable delivery.
Richard O'Sullivan isn't the focus here, for a change, but his chemistry and charisma are such that you are always watching him anyways, no matter what's going on.
8/10

"GEORGE Y MILDRED"
Fue una afamada sitcom británica de los años 70, producida por la Thames Television, sobre un matrimonio mal avenido, George y Mildred Roper, interpretados por los actores Brian Murphy y Yootha Joyce. Ambos personajes aparecieron inicialmente en la comedia Un hombre en casa, también de la Thames Television, de la cual George y Mildred fue un exitoso spin-off.
La popularidad de estas dos comedias propició las adaptaciones en los Estados Unidos de George y Mildred como Los Roper, secuela a su vez de Apartamento para tres, el equivalente de Un hombre en casa, que tuvieron gran aceptación por parte de los telespectadores.
La serie fue inicialmente emitida en su país de origen por la cadena de televisión ITV entre los años 1976 y 1979, y aún hoy son frecuentes las reposiciones de todas estas series en las programaciones de muchas televisiones de todo el mundo.
