The american version, three years later had this episode too, I like both versions. I like all four of the Ropers too. In fact, the American version is what you call it? syndicated? So I watch it now, in 2024. Several of them have passed away, of course.
The "Three's Company" version of this episode, is so eerily similar, it's criminal! The only real difference is instead of singing bad to drive the kids away, our Mr. Roper breaks out a bugle.
Never ever seen this and when I asked sally why didn’t they ever make a Xmas ep she said she didn’t know why and should have so maybe it never made tv?
This was aired Christmas Day in 73, I know because I watched it. 😀👍 It was part of Comedy Carnival, itv used to create collections of mini episodes in it,
George asks where the playing cards are. Mildred (to George): "In the bedroom." (to the girls): "I play a lot of Patience in bed." A fairly mild double entendre.
Brilliant! I never missed an episode back in the 70s! Excellent cast.

Proper comedy..from the golden age of comedy
I love George & Mildred and Man about the house!! 😊
I love both versions, this one and the American Three's company!!! They were all great, all of them!!!
Love this❤️
What a treat.
Who remembers please Sir
Paula Wilcox was such a cutie back then 😍
she is still quite nice now
It's hard to believe that this slim, sexy, stylish Paula is the same "pudgy" little pudding from The Lovers filmed during this same period.

I. Have. Never. Seen. This. Episode. And. Have. Watched. Man. About. The. House. Hundreds. Of. Times. I. Have. Got. The. Set. Of. DVDs.
I think it was on one of these Christmas programmes that had serval special bits.
The description explains what it is from.
Where is the sequel? What happened at the party?
Decent comedy

@@lindathomas5500 yes we found out later I was only 6 at the time so don’t remember it
@@allisonmcandrew915 tv was great back then at Christmas, full of humour.. now it’s full of repeats and reality shows! 😞
@@lindathomas5500 I’d rather watch repeats of these greats shows that shite of today!
@@allisonmcandrew915 same here Alison! 👍
What does Mildred say at 2.25?
George asks where the playing cards are. Mildred (to George): "In the bedroom." (to the girls): "I play a lot of Patience in bed." A fairly mild double entendre.
Was this a special?
Yes an ITV Christmas show with 10 minute versions of their sitcoms of the time
I bought the box set of math...dont remember this one is it on it or can you buy it separate...
I. Love. All. The. Old. Comedy. I. Have. Got. Most. Of. The. Comedy. On. DVDs. And. Watch. Them. All. The. Time. Brilliant
