About This Program

Three of a Kind is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls squarely within the comedy genre, offering a light‑hearted slice of British entertainment. The title itself hints at a playful, perhaps slightly chaotic, scenario that unfolds within the runtime. The central story follows Chrissy, who is forced to step into Robin’s place at a poker table after he is suddenly rushed to hospital. While she’s eager to keep the game going, Chrissy quickly discovers that she has no clue about the rules, setting the stage for a series of amusing misunderstandings. The episode is built around this comedic premise, using the unfamiliarity with the card game to generate humour. The situation escalates as Chrissy’s lack of knowledge leads to a cascade of blunders, each one amplifying the light‑hearted chaos that defines the show. The cast includes Paula Wilcox, who contributes to the comedic rhythm of the piece, and Richard O’Sullivan, whose presence adds further charm to the unfolding farce. Together, they help bring the absurdity of Chrissy’s impromptu poker debut to life, keeping the tone lively and entertaining throughout.
