Nellie takes umbridge after an argument, and decides to move out, she initially moves into a cheap and nasty flat, where she promptly meets a plain speaking Australian.

Perhaps my least favourite episode so far, but it's still a good watch, and still funny, it just felt like an episode lifted pretty much straight up out of Nearest and Dearest. It's a comedy of farce, it is funny, and boasts a few good one liners.

Seeing Nellie firstly in the flat with the dodgy landlord was funny, but better was seeing her lording it up in The Model's flat, parading around in designer gear was a joy.

I loved that apartment, it was so stylish, and even in 2022 it looked rather impressive.

6/10.

Nellie has had enough with her father Jed allowing late night drinking after hours. He could lose his licence and livelihood.

Nellie has had enough and walks out of the pub and rents a crummy flat. £40 a month rent, a princely ransom back in 1974. The telephone is outside the house. The central heating is a portable gas heater in the middle of the room.

The landlord is not quite the Rachmaninoff that Nellie describes him. Although Nellie manages to attract an Australian admirer.

Luckily Gilbert and George come to the rescue. They have a temporary vacancy at the flat upstairs to their shop. (It seems Nellie forgot about the rent she paid in advance.)

Jed though makes his own plans to get his daughter back to the pub.

A farcical episode but it is just not funny. The exception being Nellie flouncing about with some designer clothes.

The comedy is stale and tired even for 1970s standards.
