This one-off Thames Television production from TV newcomer Ken Levision starred Wynne Clark and Joan Hickson as elderly sisters-in-law Edie and Dorothy.
The pair share Dorothy’s house but are constantly bickering. After a heated squabble about their domestic status, Edie (Hickson) threatens to move out.
Dorothy (Clark) knows this is just hot air but decides to play a little game nonetheless and decides to call Edie’s bluff by placing an advertisement in the local newsagent’s window (where Edie will be sure to see it), seeking a lodger for the room, attracting the attention of a student.
The stand-alone half-hour comedy was aired to test viewer reactions for a possible series. It was a harmless, not unpleasant half-hour’s viewing, but no series ever eventuated.
