Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn "One For The Road", it is discovered that Robin's middle name is Oswald. Chrissy points out that his initials spell the word ROT.
- 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
British humour at its best
I have such fond memories of watching this show. I would love to see it again. Yes, it was copied by Three's Company but the two shows diverged quite a bit after awhile. What I liked best about it was the sexual chemistry between Robin Tripp and Chrissy (the smart one). They were always bantering and teasing and arguing but you knew underneath there was something there. I was always waiting for the dumb blonde (Jo) to get out of the way so they could get more romantic. I wish I could remember how the series ended. I think they got together but maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. I do remember the series Robin's Nest and it was kinda cute but there was no chemistry without Chrissy. In the American series, Chrissy was the dumb blonde, Janet the smart one but neither one had any real romantic relationship with John Ritter's character. I think people here have been too harsh about Ritter. He was all slapstick its true, but that was an art in itself! Different kind of humour. I prefer the British series as it was more subtle and clever, but I also enjoyed the American version. Although it really lasted at least two years too long!!
