Our House (1960)

Nine incompatible people chip in together to purchase and inhabit a run-down house. Librarian Georgina Ruddy (Hattie Jacques) who must keep quiet at work all day so makes up for it by being extremely noisy at home with council official Simon Willow (Charles Hawtrey) and unemployable Daisy Burke (Joan Sims). The rest of misfits include young Norman Rossington as law student Gordon Brent; newlyweds; and a shy bank clerk and his violin-playing wife. Although series two of "Our House" had 26 episodes, ITV decided to stop showing them in the London area after just seven fortnightly airings. The remaining 19 episodes were seen on a weekly basis elsewhere in the country.
