33 Lobelia Avenue, Tooting, was the home of Mrs Scott (Vi Stevens), her troublesome, unemployed son Terry (Terry Scott), and their lodger Hugh (Hugh Lloyd), a worker at a local aircraft factory.
The two lads became involved in many crackpot and fabulous “get rich quick” schemes, and constantly found themselves in hot water, with the bumptious, over-ambitious Terry leading the timid, fretful Hugh astray.
On one side of the Scotts lived the Crispins – him a loudmouth and her a snob – and their daughter, Norma, an object of lust for the boys. On the other side lived the Wormolds.
In the final series, Terry and Hugh went on a cruise to the far east, paid for from £5,000 Hugh won with a Premium Bond.
This inoffensive BBC sitcom was the creation of writer John Chapman and producer David Croft, and featured the first wonderful pairing of Scott and Lloyd.
