Man About the House

The girls find it tough sharing a flat with one man, and their problems double when Robin's friend Larry moves in. The ensuing chaos is presented as a comedy, starring Richard O'Sullivan, highlighting the humorous challenges of cohabitation in a lively household.

Cuckoo in the Nest is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls squarely within the comedy genre, offering a light‑hearted take on domestic arrangements. The piece is catalogued simply as a programme rather than a series, and its title hints at the slightly chaotic living situation it depicts. The central storyline follows a group of women who are already finding it difficult to co‑habit with a single male housemate. Their challenges multiply when Robin’s friend, Larry, moves into the same flat, creating an even more crowded and awkward environment. The narrative focuses on how the addition of another male presence intensifies the existing tensions among the residents. The humour derives from the everyday frustrations and misunderstandings that arise when the women try to manage their shared space with not one, but two men. The comedic situations are underscored by the presence of Richard O'Sullivan, who appears in the episode, adding his familiar style to the mix. Overall, the episode presents a concise, comedic exploration of cramped living conditions, highlighting how a seemingly simple arrangement can become increasingly complicated when an extra roommate joins the household.
