When Man About the House premiered on ITV on August 15, 1973, British television audiences were introduced to a living arrangement that seemed surprisingly daring for its time.
One young man sharing a London flat with two young women might seem entirely ordinary today. But in the early 1970s, the idea offered sitcom writers an opportunity to explore changing social attitudes, generational disagreements, romantic misunderstandings, and the everyday complications of modern independence.

At the center of the comedy stood Robin Tripp, a charming young catering student who unexpectedly became the flatmate of Chrissy Plummer and Jo.
Their unusual household was watched with considerable suspicion by their landlords, George and Mildred Roper.
George was lazy, sarcastic, and determined to avoid responsibility whenever possible. Mildred dreamed of a more glamorous life and rarely missed an opportunity to criticize her husband’s shortcomings.
Together, they created one of British television’s most memorable comic marriages.
The series combined cheeky humor, romantic tension, and traditional sitcom misunderstandings with a surprisingly affectionate portrayal of friendship.
Its success helped inspire two major spin-offs, George and Mildred and Robin’s Nest. It also provided the basis for the American sitcom Three’s Company, which became a major television success in its own right.
More than five decades later, the original cast remains closely associated with one of the defining British comedies of the 1970s.
Some performers continued enjoying successful careers in television and theater. Others gradually withdrew from public life. Several beloved cast members died, including Brian Murphy and Norman Eshley in 2025.
As Man About the House reaches its 53rd anniversary in 2026, here is a look at the actors who made the series unforgettable and the paths their lives followed after the cameras stopped rolling.
Richard O’Sullivan as Robin Tripp
Richard O’Sullivan portrayed Robin Tripp, the charming and mischievous young man whose arrival transforms the lives of Chrissy and Jo.
Born May 7, 1944, in London, England, O’Sullivan was 29 when Man About the House premiered.
Robin was a young catering student with a talent for cooking and an equally impressive ability to create romantic misunderstandings.
His decision to share a flat with two young women challenged the expectations of the older generation.
But Robin rarely appeared particularly concerned about convention.
He was cheerful, flirtatious, confident, and occasionally careless.
O’Sullivan portrayed him with natural charm.
His expressive face, quick reactions, and easygoing delivery made Robin a character audiences could enjoy even when his decisions created unnecessary complications.
The actor understood that Robin’s appeal depended upon remaining likable.
The character could be cheeky without becoming cruel.
He could flirt without completely abandoning his affection for his flatmates.
And he could make foolish decisions while still demonstrating genuine loyalty.
The relationship between Robin and Chrissy became particularly important.
Their constant teasing created romantic tension without allowing the series to become a conventional love story.
Jo’s innocent observations frequently added another layer of confusion.
Meanwhile, George and Mildred’s disapproval provided opportunities for Robin to challenge traditional assumptions about relationships and independence.
Before Man About the House, O’Sullivan had already established a successful acting career.
He began working as a child performer and appeared in numerous film and television productions.
His earlier experience helped him develop the relaxed confidence necessary to lead a popular sitcom.
The success of Man About the House made him one of Britain’s most recognizable television comedy stars.
When the original series ended in 1976, O’Sullivan continued playing Robin in the spin-off Robin’s Nest.
The new series followed the character into a different stage of adulthood, exploring his romantic relationship and professional ambitions.
It allowed audiences to follow Robin beyond the shared flat that had originally made him famous.
O’Sullivan later found another memorable television role in Dick Turpin, portraying the legendary highwayman.
The series demonstrated his ability to move beyond contemporary sitcom comedy into adventure-oriented entertainment.
His career eventually became less active.
In 2003, he suffered a stroke that significantly affected his health.
He subsequently withdrew from regular acting and public appearances.
According to the supplied retrospective, he has lived at Brinsworth House, a residential and nursing home associated with the entertainment industry.
In October 2026, O’Sullivan is 82.
His later life has been considerably quieter than the years when Robin Tripp was one of British television’s most recognizable young characters.
Yet his contribution to Man About the House remains central to its success.
Robin was the character who made the unusual living arrangement possible.
O’Sullivan was the performer who made audiences believe that three young adults could share a home, challenge convention, and still create a warm and entertaining friendship.
Yootha Joyce as Mildred Roper
Yootha Joyce portrayed Mildred Roper, the frustrated but wonderfully expressive wife whose constant disagreements with George became one of the show’s greatest attractions.
Born August 20, 1927, in London, Joyce was 46 when Man About the House premiered.
Mildred was a woman who believed she deserved a more exciting and glamorous life.
Unfortunately, she was married to George Roper.
George preferred television, beer, and avoiding responsibility.
Mildred preferred sophistication, romance, social advancement, and the possibility that her husband might occasionally make an effort.
Their conflicting expectations created an extraordinary comic partnership.
Joyce portrayed Mildred with impeccable timing.
Her expressions could communicate disappointment before she spoke a single word.
A long stare at George or a carefully delivered insult frequently became the funniest moment in a scene.
But Joyce gave the character more than sarcasm.
Mildred’s frustration was often rooted in genuine disappointment.
She wanted affection.
She wanted excitement.
And she wanted to believe that life still contained possibilities beyond the routines of her marriage.
That emotional dimension made the character strangely sympathetic.
Audiences could laugh at Mildred’s complaints while recognizing the loneliness and dissatisfaction beneath them.
Her interactions with Robin, Chrissy, and Jo also revealed her fascination with the younger generation.
The flatmates enjoyed freedoms that Mildred felt had largely passed her by.
Their lifestyle sometimes shocked her, but it also represented a world she found intriguing.
Joyce’s chemistry with Brian Murphy was exceptional.
The two performers created a marriage that was constantly argumentative yet unmistakably familiar.
Their popularity eventually became so great that George and Mildred received their own spin-off.
George and Mildred premiered in 1976 and continued the couple’s comic adventures after they moved into a more respectable neighborhood.
The new setting gave Mildred fresh opportunities to pursue social status while George continued resisting almost every attempt at improvement.
The series became a major success.
Before these sitcoms, Joyce had worked extensively in theater and television.
Her professional background gave her the confidence to balance exaggerated comedy with believable emotional frustration.
However, her personal life became increasingly difficult.
Joyce experienced serious health problems associated with alcohol dependence.
She died on August 24, 1980, at age 53, from liver failure related to cirrhosis.
Her death came only a few years after the height of her television success.
For fans, the loss was especially painful because Mildred had become such a lively and familiar presence.
Joyce’s performance remains one of British sitcom history’s most memorable portrayals of marital frustration.
Mildred Roper was sarcastic, ambitious, disappointed, and endlessly entertaining.
But beneath every complaint was a woman who wanted to feel appreciated.
That emotional complexity is why the character remains so beloved.
Brian Murphy as George Roper
Brian Murphy portrayed George Roper, the lazy and frequently evasive landlord whose marriage to Mildred provided some of the funniest moments in Man About the House.
Born September 25, 1932, in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, Murphy was 40 when the series premiered.
George was not an ambitious man.
He preferred comfort over effort.
He had little interest in improving his social position.
And he was particularly skilled at avoiding the demands of his wife.
Murphy portrayed George with extraordinary comic restraint.
His slow reactions, tired expressions, and carefully timed complaints created a character who seemed permanently exhausted by the expectations of domestic life.
Unlike more energetic sitcom performers, Murphy frequently achieved humor by doing very little.
A disappointed glance or an unenthusiastic reply could transform an ordinary conversation into a memorable joke.
His relationship with Mildred became the foundation of the show’s landlord storylines.
Mildred wanted change.
George wanted everything to remain exactly as it was.
That simple conflict produced an enormous variety of comic situations.
But the characters’ relationship also contained a recognizable form of affection.
They argued constantly, yet their lives remained deeply intertwined.
Murphy and Yootha Joyce developed such convincing chemistry that their characters became almost as popular as the central flatmates.
Their spin-off, George and Mildred, expanded that partnership.
The series followed the couple into a new neighborhood, where Mildred attempted to improve their social standing.
George continued resisting her plans with familiar determination.
The result was another successful chapter in British television comedy.
After the spin-off ended, Murphy continued working for many years.
His later career included appearances in numerous television productions.
He became particularly recognizable to another generation through Last of the Summer Wine.
His long career demonstrated an ability to create sympathetic comic characters without relying upon exaggerated performances.
Murphy died on February 2, 2025, at age 92, following cancer.
His death marked the passing of one of the last major performers associated with the original series.
For audiences who grew up watching George and Mildred argue across their living room, Murphy’s performance remains instantly recognizable.
George Roper may have been lazy, stubborn, and hopelessly resistant to change.
But Murphy made him a character viewers could laugh at with affection rather than contempt.
Sally Thomsett as Jo
Sally Thomsett portrayed Jo, the sweet, cheerful, and occasionally absent-minded young woman whose personality balanced the more confident behavior of Robin and Chrissy.
Born April 3, 1950, in Sussex, England, Thomsett was 23 when Man About the House premiered.
Jo was an essential part of the show’s central trio.
Where Chrissy was practical and outspoken, Jo often approached situations with innocence and optimism.
Her observations could create unexpected misunderstandings.
But she rarely intended to cause trouble.
Thomsett portrayed the character with warmth and gentle comic timing.
Jo’s apparent naivety made her particularly effective in scenes involving Robin’s flirtatious behavior.
She could misunderstand a romantic situation or make a surprisingly revealing comment without recognizing its implications.
That innocence became one of the show’s most appealing qualities.
But Jo was never simply an accessory to the other characters.
Her friendships, concerns, and emotional reactions helped establish the flat as a believable home.
The contrast between Jo and Chrissy also gave the series an important balance.
Chrissy frequently recognized Robin’s schemes before they developed.
Jo was more likely to become involved in the confusion.
Together, the two women created a dynamic that made the shared living arrangement entertaining rather than repetitive.
Before Man About the House, Thomsett had already achieved considerable recognition.
She appeared in The Railway Children, the beloved 1970 film adaptation of E. Nesbit’s novel.
Her performance introduced her to family audiences before she became associated with adult sitcom comedy.
She also appeared in Straw Dogs.
The success of Man About the House gave her another widely recognized role.
Following the series, Thomsett appeared in fewer major productions and gradually withdrew from regular acting.
Her public life became increasingly private.
The supplied retrospective describes her as living quietly with her longtime partner and making only occasional appearances connected to television nostalgia.
In 2026, Thomsett is 76.
Jo remains one of her most recognizable characters.
Her gentle personality helped prevent Man About the House from becoming entirely dominated by romantic teasing and arguments.
She gave the series a softer emotional quality.
For viewers who remember the original flatmates, Jo’s sweetness remains an essential part of the show’s appeal.
Doug Fisher as Larry Simmonds
Doug Fisher portrayed Larry Simmonds, Robin’s mischievous friend and upstairs neighbor.
Born in 1941, Fisher was approximately 32 when Man About the House premiered.
Larry was a supporting character who brought additional confusion into the lives of the central flatmates.
He was cheeky, opportunistic, and not always reliable.
His appearances frequently introduced new complications into situations that were already difficult enough.
Fisher portrayed Larry with relaxed comic confidence.
The character seemed comfortable drifting into other people’s problems.
Sometimes he offered advice.
Sometimes he created misunderstandings.
And sometimes his involvement made a simple situation considerably more complicated.
Larry’s presence helped expand the world beyond the main flat.
The building began to feel like a place inhabited by people with their own friendships, ambitions, and questionable decisions.
According to the supplied transcript, Fisher appeared in 19 episodes.
Although he was not part of the central trio, his recurring appearances made him a familiar figure.
Fisher continued working in film, theater, and television after Man About the House.
His later credits included the British television drama London’s Burning.
He remained active as a character performer, contributing to productions across different genres.
Fisher died in 2000, reportedly following a heart attack, at approximately age 58.
His career ended relatively early.
But Larry Simmonds remains part of the show’s comic identity.
He represented the unpredictable friend whose arrival could turn an ordinary day into another complicated adventure.
Paula Wilcox as Chrissy Plummer
Paula Wilcox portrayed Chrissy Plummer, the intelligent and confident young woman whose sharp personality helped anchor the central flat-sharing comedy.
Born December 13, 1949, in Manchester, England, Wilcox was 23 when Man About the House premiered.
Chrissy was practical, independent, and capable of challenging Robin whenever his charm became too obvious.
She understood his flirtatious behavior.
She recognized his attempts to avoid responsibility.
And she rarely allowed him to win an argument simply because he was charming.
Wilcox portrayed Chrissy with warmth and intelligence.
The character was modern without being presented as rebellious for the sake of rebellion.
She wanted independence.
She valued friendship.
And she believed she had the right to make decisions about her own life.
Those qualities made Chrissy especially important to the show’s central premise.
The idea of two young women sharing a flat with a man challenged the expectations of some older viewers.
Chrissy’s confidence helped make the arrangement feel natural.
She was not helpless.
She was not dependent upon Robin.
And she did not need his approval to establish her own identity.
Her relationship with Jo added another dimension.
Chrissy often became the practical voice of reason when Jo’s innocence or Robin’s impulsiveness created confusion.
Yet she was also capable of making mistakes and becoming emotionally involved in complicated situations.
Wilcox’s chemistry with Richard O’Sullivan was central to the series.
Their playful arguments created romantic tension without requiring the characters to become a conventional couple.
Before Man About the House, Wilcox had already begun establishing herself in British television.
Following the series, she continued building a substantial career across comedy and drama.
Her later work included numerous television productions and stage appearances.
She remained recognizable to audiences who remembered her early sitcom success while developing a professional identity beyond Chrissy.
Her ability to move between different genres demonstrated considerable versatility.
In October 2026, Wilcox is 76 and will turn 77 in December.
She remains one of the important surviving performers associated with the original series.
Chrissy Plummer continues to be remembered as a confident young woman whose independence helped make Man About the House feel unusually modern for its time.
Daphne Oxenford as Mrs. Plummer
Daphne Oxenford portrayed Mrs. Plummer, Chrissy’s mother, whose appearances emphasized the generational tensions surrounding the central living arrangement.
Born October 31, 1919, in Barnet, England, Oxenford was 53 when Man About the House premiered.
Mrs. Plummer represented a more traditional view of relationships and domestic life.
For her generation, the idea of an unmarried young man sharing a flat with two women could appear unconventional or even alarming.
Her visits created opportunities for misunderstandings and comic discomfort.
Oxenford portrayed the character with a convincing mixture of concern, suspicion, and parental authority.
Mrs. Plummer was not necessarily opposed to her daughter’s independence.
But she struggled to understand the circumstances in which Chrissy was exercising it.
That conflict helped the sitcom explore changing social attitudes without becoming overly serious.
The younger characters viewed their living arrangement as practical and ordinary.
The older generation often saw it as something requiring explanation.
According to the supplied transcript, Oxenford appeared in three episodes.
Her role was relatively small, but it contributed to one of the show’s most important themes.
Before Man About the House, Oxenford had already developed a long career in radio, theater, and television.
She was especially familiar to British audiences through Listen with Mother, the BBC radio program associated with children’s storytelling.
Her voice became a comforting presence for generations of listeners.
That background gave her television performances a recognizable warmth.
Oxenford died on December 21, 2012, at age 93.
Her appearance in Man About the House remains part of a much larger career that connected British radio’s earlier traditions with the television comedy of the 1970s.
Roy Kinnear as Jerry
Roy Kinnear portrayed Jerry, a supporting character whose appearances added another recognizable comic personality to Man About the House.
Born January 8, 1934, in Wigan, England, Kinnear was 39 when the series premiered.
Kinnear possessed one of British comedy’s most distinctive screen personalities.
He could portray awkwardness, confusion, frustration, and warmth with remarkable ease.
His characters frequently seemed to be ordinary men overwhelmed by circumstances they could not control.
That quality made him particularly effective in sitcoms.
According to the supplied transcript, he appeared in three episodes of Man About the House.
Although Jerry was not a central character, Kinnear’s presence added another layer of comic energy to the series.
His performances often depended upon carefully timed reactions rather than elaborate dialogue.
Before joining the sitcom, Kinnear had already established himself as a familiar figure in British entertainment.
His career included film, television, and theater.
He appeared in numerous comedy productions and became particularly recognizable through his work in The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers.
His ability to create memorable supporting characters made him a valuable presence in large ensemble productions.
Kinnear continued acting throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
But his life ended tragically.
While filming The Return of the Musketeers in Spain, he suffered a fall from a horse.
He died on September 20, 1988, at age 54, following complications from the accident.
His death shocked the British entertainment industry.
For viewers of Man About the House, his appearance remains a small but memorable part of the show’s extended comic world.
For cinema audiences, his broader career remains a testament to the extraordinary importance of great character actors.
Norman Eshley as Ian Cross and Norman Tripp
Norman Eshley appeared in Man About the House in two separate guest roles, portraying Ian Cross and Norman Tripp.
Born May 30, 1945, in Bristol, England, Eshley was 28 when the series premiered.
His appearances took place during the show’s original run, with the transcript identifying roles in 1974 and 1976.
Although neither character became central to the series, Eshley’s involvement created an interesting connection to the wider Man About the House television universe.
He would later become especially recognizable through George and Mildred.
In that spin-off, Eshley portrayed Jeffrey Fourmile, the Ropers’ middle-class neighbor.
Jeffrey represented almost everything Mildred admired.
He was respectable, socially established, and associated with the comfortable lifestyle she wanted for herself.
George, meanwhile, found Jeffrey’s social confidence irritating.
Their rivalry became one of the spin-off’s most entertaining recurring elements.
Eshley portrayed Jeffrey with polished confidence and a subtle sense of superiority.
The character’s interactions with George created a new comic dynamic.
Where George preferred avoiding effort, Jeffrey represented conventional middle-class achievement.
Mildred’s admiration for the Fourmile household only intensified her husband’s frustration.
The contrast helped George and Mildred develop an identity beyond the original flat-sharing premise.
Before these roles, Eshley had already worked in British film and television.
He continued acting across different genres after his sitcom success.
His professional career included drama, comedy, and character performances.
Eshley died on August 2, 2025, at age 80, following cancer.
His death came in the same year as Brian Murphy’s passing.
For fans of the original sitcom and its spin-offs, 2025 marked the loss of two performers closely connected to the fictional world of George and Mildred Roper.
Eshley’s work remains memorable because he helped create one of the spin-off’s most effective comic rivalries.
Glynn Edwards as Mr. Dudley Plummer
Glynn Edwards portrayed Dudley Plummer, Chrissy’s father, whose traditional attitudes created another source of tension within the youthful flat-sharing household.
Born February 2, 1931, in Penang, then part of British Malaya, Edwards was 42 when Man About the House premiered.
Mr. Plummer represented an older generation attempting to understand a rapidly changing society.
The idea of his daughter living with a young man outside marriage challenged familiar expectations.
His appearances allowed the series to explore that discomfort through comedy.
Edwards portrayed the character with firm authority.
Mr. Plummer’s reactions emphasized how unusual the central arrangement could appear to people raised under different social conventions.
But the character also helped establish Chrissy’s independence.
Her ability to navigate parental concern while maintaining her own decisions became part of her development.
Edwards had already built a substantial acting career before joining Man About the House.
He worked across film, television, and theater.
His most recognizable later role came in the long-running British sitcom Minder.
He portrayed Dave Harris, the manager of the Winchester Club.
The character became a familiar presence throughout the series.
Dave frequently found himself dealing with the questionable business schemes and complicated relationships surrounding Arthur Daley and Terry McCann.
Edwards brought dry humor and practical authority to the role.
His performance helped make the Winchester Club one of the most recognizable settings in British television comedy-drama.
The success of Minder introduced him to audiences who might not have remembered his earlier sitcom appearances.
Edwards died on May 23, 2018, at age 87.
His career demonstrated the lasting value of dependable character performers.
He could move from a concerned father in a 1970s sitcom to a memorable club manager in one of Britain’s most successful television series.
How Man About the House Changed British Television Comedy
When Man About the House premiered in 1973, British society was experiencing important changes in attitudes toward relationships, independence, and domestic life.
Young adults were increasingly questioning traditional expectations.
Women were pursuing greater personal freedom.
And the idea of unmarried men and women sharing accommodation was becoming more familiar, particularly in urban environments.
The sitcom turned those social changes into accessible comedy.
Robin, Chrissy, and Jo did not see themselves as participating in a dramatic cultural revolution.
They were simply young people attempting to manage rent, friendships, work, and relationships.
That ordinary perspective helped make the series successful.
The humor emerged from the difference between how the flatmates understood their lives and how older characters interpreted them.
George and Mildred Roper became essential to that contrast.
George was frequently suspicious of Robin’s intentions.
Mildred was fascinated by the younger generation’s freedom.
Their reactions created opportunities for misunderstandings that audiences could recognize without needing to agree with every traditional assumption.
The show’s success also depended upon the chemistry between its performers.
Richard O’Sullivan made Robin charming without allowing him to become completely irresponsible.
Paula Wilcox gave Chrissy intelligence and independence.
Sally Thomsett brought warmth and innocence to Jo.
Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce created a comic marriage that became almost as important as the original flat-sharing arrangement.
The supporting cast added further depth.
Doug Fisher’s Larry introduced additional complications.
Daphne Oxenford and Glynn Edwards represented Chrissy’s concerned parents.
Roy Kinnear brought the experience of a distinguished comic performer.
Norman Eshley created a connection between the original sitcom and the later world of George and Mildred.
Together, these actors helped establish a television environment that felt lively, recognizable, and entertaining.
The show’s influence extended well beyond its original six series.
Its success inspired George and Mildred, which followed the Ropers into a new neighborhood.
It also inspired Robin’s Nest, allowing Richard O’Sullivan’s character to continue his story beyond the original shared flat.
Perhaps most significantly, the format was adapted for American television as Three’s Company.
That series premiered in 1977 and became one of the most recognizable American sitcoms of its era.
The central premise remained familiar.
A young man shared an apartment with two women while misunderstandings and social expectations generated comedy.
The American adaptation demonstrated that the original British concept possessed appeal far beyond its initial cultural setting.
The Cast’s Lives After the Series
More than five decades after Man About the House first appeared on British television, the lives of its performers offer a striking contrast between enduring screen comedy and the realities of aging, illness, and loss.
Richard O’Sullivan became one of Britain’s most recognizable sitcom stars before eventually withdrawing from public life following serious health problems.
Paula Wilcox continued developing a long television career, moving beyond the role of Chrissy Plummer.
Sally Thomsett gradually stepped away from regular acting and embraced a more private existence.
Yootha Joyce achieved extraordinary popularity through Mildred Roper but died in 1980 at only 53.
Brian Murphy continued entertaining audiences for decades and died in 2025 at age 92.
Doug Fisher maintained a varied acting career before his death in 2000.
Daphne Oxenford remained associated with generations of British radio and television listeners.
Roy Kinnear left behind a substantial comic legacy after his tragic death in 1988.
Norman Eshley became an essential part of the George and Mildred spin-off before his death in 2025.
And Glynn Edwards achieved lasting recognition through Minder.
Their stories demonstrate how a successful sitcom can bring together performers whose careers and personal circumstances develop in very different directions.
Some achieve greater recognition later in life.
Others remain closely associated with a single beloved character.
And some disappear from public attention while their performances continue reaching audiences through reruns.
Why Man About the House Still Matters in 2026
In 2026, Man About the House is more than half a century old.
Its fashions, hairstyles, interior design, and social assumptions clearly belong to the 1970s.
Some jokes reflect attitudes that have changed significantly.
But the central relationships remain recognizable.
Young adults still struggle with independence.
Flatmates still disagree over responsibilities.
Friendships still become complicated by romance.
Parents still worry about their children’s decisions.
And married couples still discover that everyday domestic life provides endless opportunities for disagreement.
Those familiar situations help explain why the series remains appealing to classic television fans.
Its characters were not extraordinary people.
Robin was a young man trying to establish himself.
Chrissy wanted independence and respect.
Jo approached life with warmth and optimism.
George preferred comfort and routine.
Mildred wanted excitement and recognition.
Their ambitions were ordinary, but their personalities made them memorable.
The deaths of several major cast members have added a bittersweet dimension to the show’s legacy.
Yootha Joyce died in 1980.
Roy Kinnear died in 1988.
Doug Fisher died in 2000.
Glynn Edwards died in 2018.
Brian Murphy and Norman Eshley died in 2025.
Yet their characters remain alive within the episodes they created.
Mildred still complains about George.
George still tries to avoid responsibility.
Robin still finds himself caught in another misunderstanding.
Chrissy still challenges his excuses.
Jo still adds an unexpected observation.
And somewhere upstairs, Larry is probably preparing to complicate matters even further.
Fifty-three years after its premiere, Man About the House remains a warm reminder of an era when British sitcoms could turn a small flat, a handful of memorable characters, and a few everyday misunderstandings into television comedy that endured for generations.
The cast members have followed different paths, and many are no longer with us.
But the laughter they created remains.
And for viewers who remember the original series, that little London flat will always feel like a familiar place to return.
