Only when I laugh- it also starred Peter Bowles and Richard Wilson.

That's it, Richard Wilson was the doctor I think.

He's not as subtle with the innuendo though...

Anyone remember Robin's Nest with Richard O'Sullivan & Tessa Wyat?

They had a classic episode where the builder put up the shop sign as Robin Snest and I think the spin off from Robin's Nest was the 'Cowboys' with Roy Kinnear.

Just been checking it out & Robin's Nest was a spin-off from Man About The House.

Knew that, always had a bit of a thing for Richard O'Sullivan but hated Tessa Wyatt with a passion a) because of this role and how it developed in their private lives and b) because of the absolute cow she was to Tony Blackburn (remember how he used to pour his heart out on Radio 1 in those days!). Consequently, didn't like Robin's Nest, however a couple more that have come to me during the day (one of which R O'S was also in from time to time) were brilliant ones - Doctor in the House, Citizen Smith (with Nana Moon calling him Foxy rather than Wolfie) and Just Good Friends. How can we not have had Vince and Penny mentioned before today?

Just Good Friends. How can we not have had Vince and Penny mentioned before today?

I'm guessing it being rubbish is something to do with it.

Just said Bread, and wouldn't class Auf Wiedersehen, Pet as a sitcom personally. It is one of my all time favourite programmes though, and one with which the sequels have never disappointed.
