In the series, the former landlord and landlady move to the stockbroker belt suburbs, where George's gauche ways soon put him at odds with their yuppie neighbours, Jeffrey and Ann Fourmile and their young son Tristram. The snobbish Jeffrey Fourmile, an estate agent, was played by Norman Eshley, who also played the part of Robin Tripp's brother in Man About the House. Sheila Fearn played the more sympathetic Ann and eight-year-old Nicholas Bond-Owen debuted as Tristram.
