The flat's lease is up for renewal, and Roper promptly increases the rent by £25.00. Unable to pay the extra amount, Robin and the girls decide to bring in another lodger ( to share Robin's room ).

First, the good news. Jo is back. Now the bad news. No Larry. John Carlin's camp barman is finally named - Percy. We've seen Linda before; in 'Never Give Your Real Name', Robin was prepared to marry her as he thought she was pregnant. Either she forgave him for withdrawing his offer of marriage or this is a different Linda. Alison Hughes also played 'Maddie' in 'I Won't Dance, Don't Ask Me'. John Flanagan, who plays 'James', is a good actor who deserved better roles than he got. In 1978, he teamed up with Maureen Lipman for a terrible I.T.V. sitcom called 'A Soft Touch' which was a well deserved flop.
Funniest moment - Mildred shocked on hearing Oscar the budgie uttering an expletive ( which we never hear ).
