on BBC One London

Starring Donald Sinden, Peggy Cummins

After some futile but hilarious attempts to make both ends meet by taking in paying guests - who are not the paying kind - the couple eventually decide on divorce. This arrangement is to last for only a year, and then they will re-marry. But the best-laid plans...
