Moody and Pegg (1974)
Synopsis
Roland Moody is a newly divorced 42-year-old junk/antique dealer greatly anticipating freedom from matrimonial ties. Daphne Pegg, plain spinster and dedicated civil servant in her early thirties, leaves her home in Bolton after realising that her office boss will never agree to marry her. She heads for London and a clean break, but, owing to a rogue estate agent's dealings, finds that a man - Moody - also has a valid lease arrangement for the property she acquires. Unable to work out who is the squatter, they agree to be feuding partners and share, forging a very uncomfortable situation that is exacerbated by Moody's prodigious line of visiting girlfriends. With hilarious consequences.

Ep. 2: She: The Diplomat
With the duo becoming reluctant flatmates, each regards the other as a squatter and claims dominance. Daphne finds the situation impossible, with Roland's persistent girlfriend Iris around for much of the time. Oddly enough, Roland is beginning to see the situation in a different light.

Daphne is grateful, but ends up owing him for much more besides....

Daphne has no escort to her department's annual ball. Not fooled by her indifference, Roland arranges for his assistant, Sid, to accompany her.

Daphne and Roland's neighbour, Commander Shelby-Gibbs, has returned early from Brussels — unknown to them, he has an assignation in his flat with a young lady. All is going swimmingly for the Commander, until his wife unexpectedly appears. Roland makes Daphne a reluctant accomplice in an ever more complicated game of musical beds...

A disagreement involving Roland's lady-friend Monica becomes a blazing row and the delicate arrangement between Daphne and Roland falls apart.
