The second spin-off from Man About The House, after George and Mildred. Robin Tripp (Richard O'Sullivan) was once a catering student who shared with Chrissy and Jo. By this stage he's the Man About His Own Restaurant. His fellow characters are Vicky (Tessa Wyatt), his new girlfriend who later becomes his wife, plus father-in-law to-be James Nicholls, played by the incomparable Tony Britton. Robin and Vicky are sometimes helped, but usually hindered by Albert Riddle (David Kelly), their one-armed kitchen hand. Kelly is best known for playing the rotten Irish builder O'Reilly in Fawlty Towers.
