He’s renting the spare room in his son Trevor’s new marital home to help with the mortgage. Local dentist Trevor, is still trying to figure out ‘the nature of wives’ as he embarks upon his new life as a married man with his dad in tow. His wife, Katherine is dismayed at her father-in-law’s uncouth manners which threaten to lower the tone of her pretentious aspirations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThings go from bad to worse when Bill introduces them to his new girlfriend, Betty. His soon to be ‘live in lover’. Whilst the benefits are clear to Trevor (more rent) and Bill (none of the slap and all of the tickle) Katherine is fuming. What will the neighbours think!? Next door, fierce Muriel has her beady-eye on the unconventional set up. Hilarity ensures when Harold, Muriel’s hen pecked husband and Trevor’s ally, is found in the garden shed with Betty…\u003cbr\u003eThis is a farcical comedy, very much of its time and packed with witty one-liners and endless innuendo.
