About This Program

is a television episode that falls squarely within the comedy genre. It centres on a flat‑share situation, presenting everyday domestic life with a light‑hearted tone. The programme’s title hints at the central conflict, and the format is that of a single episode rather than a long‑running series. In this particular instalment, the character Robin returns home with a new puppy, an unexpected addition that immediately unsettles his flat‑mate Chrissy. Chrissy’s displeasure forms the core of the storyline, as the two navigate the sudden presence of the dog in their shared living space. The episode builds its humour around the clash of expectations, with Robin’s enthusiasm for his new companion pitted against Chrissy’s clear dismay. The flat‑share comedy is brought to life by a cast that includes Richard O’Sullivan, Sally Thomsett and Paula Wilcox. Their performances anchor the domestic antics, delivering the situational comedy that drives the narrative. Together, they portray the everyday challenges and comic misunderstandings that arise when a seemingly simple decision—bringing a puppy into a shared flat—turns the household upside down.
