Lost comedy

The majority of the master tapes for the ATV sitcom Our House were destroyed during the 1960s.

The plot concerns a group of very different people who pool together their funds and buy a house large enough to accomdate them all. Characters include librarian Georgina Ruddy, council official Simon Willow, unemployable Daisy Burke, Yorkshire sea dog Captain Illiffe and his French singing wife, newlywed Hattons and law student Gordon Brent.

So many faces from the Carry On films appear [Hattie Jacques, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw], its a wonder they didn't call the series Carry On Under One Roof!

The only suriving episodes are Simply Simon [ITV, 8 Sept. 1960], A Thin Time [ITV, 25 Sept. 1960] and Love to Georgina [ITV, 20 Nov. 1960]
