Great cast, shame about the script. Not the product you would normally associate with Hammer, but this spin-off from the popular TV series was the kind of project the House of Horror was forced to resort to as the fright business took a down turn in the mid-1970s. The material is thinner than a bedsit wall as housemates Richard O'Sullivan, Sally Thomsett and the excellent Paula Wilcox team up with their inimitable landlords Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce after they come up against unscrupulous property developers. Watch out for welcome turns from Spike Milligan and Arthur Lowe.

Mild and rather exhausting sex comedy from the TV series, as relentlessly single-minded as a 'Carry On'.

A bit of a wasted opportunity for 'Man About The House' writers Brian Cooke and Johhny Mortimer who wrote some great comical twists and turns into the television episodes. This plot may have worked as a 30 minute sit-com, but it's a bit stretched as a feature film. This is still a good, light-hearted and fun film though, with cameo appearances from Spike Milligan, Bill Grundy, Rudolph Walker and Jack Smethurst (the latter both from Love Thy Neighbour). Stick this film on some wet afternoon and wade in a bit of seventies nostalgia.
