Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriters Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer were inspired to create Man About The House after noticing increasing numbers of advertisements in the London press for flatmates of either gender - until the early 1970s it was usual for flatsharing households to be all male or all female.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits in later series show each credit caption against a still image featuring two 'female' objects and one corresponding 'male' object (eg drinks or item of clothing). One still image used features two cooking utensils as the 'female' items and a spanner as the 'male' item. This is ironic given that in the show Robin is a cookery student while Chrissy and Jo are self-confessed terrible cooks.

Featured review
Now the series is 30 years old but it is still funny. I saw it when I was a child and I can still recall the laughters at home. It was the first British tv series thet topped the tv rankings in Spain. And even now, people remember it. Two different situations: upstairs the 3 flat mates, and downstairs the landlord and his wife. The scripts were terrific: both situations fixed perfectly. And what about the actors? all of them were absolutely brilliant, specially my dear Mrs Roper. Oh, yes. Americans made a "remake" that was OK when they copied word by word the original episodes. When they had to create new scripts it became awful and boring. By the way, I always recommend to see any show in its original version, but I must confess that Spanish dubbed version is as good as the original one.
