George and Mildred

George and Mildred was a British sitcom of the 1970s.
It featured an ill-matched married couple, George and Mildred Roper, played by Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce. The characters were originally featured in another ITV sitcom, Man About the House, of which George and Mildred was a successful spin-off.
It was adapted in the United States as The Ropers.
In the series, the former landlord and landlady move to the stockbroker belt suburbs, where George's gauche ways soon put him at odds with their yuppie neighbour, Jeffrey and Ann Fourmile and their young son Tristram. The snobbish Jeffrey Fourmile, a real-estate agent, was played by Norman Eshley, who also played the part of Robin Tripp's brother in Man About the House.
