Your Place or Mine?
Photographer Nick Tyler and his wife Angie have just bought a house for them and their new-born son but want to let the basement flat to improve their finances. Nick's father Sam, recently made homeless, is keen to move in but, unbeknown to him and Nick, Angie's mother Daphne also arranges to take the flat to be the child's nanny. Daphne is refined and hypercritical. Sam is down to earth and unassuming. As co-tenants they will prove to be a very mismatched couple.

Widower's Mite
Sam settles in to the basement and proves himself a champion nappy changer, though he is less successful at winning over reluctant flatmate Daphne. She is also displeased to hear that her grandson will be called Joe and not Jeremy and will not be christened. Daphne hopes to get her vicar friend Gerald on her side and is appalled when he and Sam hit it off totally, leading to Gerald upbraiding her for being a snob.

Ill Wind from Cheltenham
Four weeks have passed and Daphne is still hostile to Sam, prompting Angie to threaten her with eviction unless she changes her attitude.

Just Desserts
Angie, Nick and Joe are away for the weekend and, having eaten some condemned pastries, Sam reckons that if he feigns illness Daphne will be nice to him. He even persuades his zoo-keeper friend Wilf to pose as a doctor but when Daphne injures her toe Sam pretends to expose Wilf as a fraud to impress her. She is unusually grateful and gives him a reward - which proves to be just desserts.
Episode 6 • May 19, 1985
Two Down, One to Go
Daphne has sold her house in Cheltenham and offers Sam some of the proceeds if he will move out. Sam counters by saying that he agrees - but only if he fails to make her laugh.
