    • Trivia
      Despite being one of the most popular British television series at the time of its original broadcast in the 1970s, it has never been repeated on UK terrestrial television due to many perceiving it as racist (although it has been repeated on UK Gold) and is often cited in discussions of racist television from the era.

    Time for another look

    This show was the antithesis of racist. Bright, fashionable black couple live next door to ignorant, brutish white man and win the upper hand in every episode. Most black characters at the time were laughed at whereas here we clearly are meant to laugh with him. The script was amusing rather than funny, but it makes for an enjoyable comedy of manners.
