Man About the House

The three flatmates plan a party, taking advantage of the fact that the Ropers will be out visiting Mildred's sister and her husband. The evening begins well but turns sour when Liz, whom Robin had previously pursued, takes an interest in Mark.

A group of loud Irishmen are holding sway in the pub, one of whom insults Chrissy. Robin attempts to protest but is made to back down. Robin decides that he will learn self defence and take the man on next time he sees him.

Chrissy's new boyfriend wants to take her to Bournemouth for the weekend, but Robin discovers something about him that he thinks might make Chrissy want to reconsider.

The flatmates throw a party for the Ropers' wedding anniversary and Robin invites a German student, Franz to come along. Unfortunately this sets off George's obsession with the Second World War.

To allow Jo to go out on a date Chrissy and Robin agree to baby-sit on her behalf for Mr. and Mrs. Randall but Robin is severely disappointed with the lack of colour television, and that the drinks cabinet is locked.

Robin fails his catering examination and it looks as if he'll be leaving London to become a part of `Tripp's Extruding Tubings, Southampton Limited'.
