• Release Year: 1974
• Genre: Crime, Foreign
• Plot: Two crooks, one woman, and a flat full of fun...; ; A Britcom gem from the 1970s starring John Thaw and Bob Hoskins. ; ; There's a hilarious crowd in this situational comedy featuring John Thaw (Inspector Morse) and Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Mona Lisa) early in their careers. George Dobbs (Hoskins) returns home after a three-year jail sentence to find his wife, Annie (Pat Ashton), in bed with Stanley (Thaw), his old partner in crime. Annie is happy to see George but not eager to kick Stan out. The three live warily together, while the men continue their inept criminal capers and vie for the affection of the woman who obviously loves them both. Terrific writing by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (The Commitments, The Likely Lads) and spot-on comic timing from the first-class cast make for laugh-out-loud fun.
