About The House
Series
1, Episode 2: And Mother
Makes Four
First Aired: 22-08-1973
Written by: Brian Cooke & Johnnie Mortimer
"Hey, why have you put a ring around today's date?" Chrissy asks, while
starring at the calendar on the wall.
"I didn't," says Jo. "You did."
"Oh, why have I
put a ring around today's date?"
"I don't know. Perhaps it's because Robin's moving in."
And, although Chrissy has forgotten, it is the day that Robin moves in,
but she has forgotten something else as well and Robin's imminent
arrival is not the reason for the ring at all. Chrissy's mother is
going to pay her a visit and Chrissy doesn't remember a thing about it
until she picks up the phone and listens to her mother tell her that
she will be with her in quarter of an hour and to pop the kettle on.
Two girls living in a flat with a fella: Chrissy's mother will never
approve and the girls need to get rid of their new roommate, before he
even gets settled in. They only need him out of the way for an hour or
two and so Jo takes Robin out for a drink down at The Mucky Duck.
 The only
problem
is that Chrissy's mother thinks that the girls now have a spare room
and she still has some more shopping to do and so she invites herself
to stay for the night.
Robin is not keen on the idea of going to an all night movie and so,
once Chrissy's mother is in bed, they smuggle him in to their room. "Is
the bed big enough for three?" he asks. "He thinks it's his birthday!"
Chrissy exclaims. The girls have single beds anyway and Robin has to
make do with a chair. At that point it looks like the problem is in
hand, but how long will the girls be able to keep it a secret that they
have a man about the house?
