So much average

Let's be realistic.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Remembered as a bland '70's I.T.V. sitcom, 'Robin's Nest' outraged Mrs.Mary Whitehouse when it first appeared! Unlike the set-up of 'Man About The House', Robin was clearly sleeping with the girl - airline stewardess Vicky - he lived with.It was only as the series progressed - Robin married Vicky, and fathered twins - that it degenerated into cosy tweeness. The first two series were by Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke, and when they were in charge, all was well. Alas, different writers took over for the remainder of the run ( amongst them Richard O'Sullivan's 'Doctor At Large' co-star George Layton ), and poor Robin found himself relegated to the role of straight man, as one-armed Irish dish washer Albert Riddle and pompous James Nicholls became the main source of the show's humour.The biggest slap in the face to 'M.A.T.H.' fans was when Robin failed to invite Jo, Larry, and the Ropers to his wedding. Given that they'd been so close before, this was strange indeed.

Robin's Nest is another Great Follow on From Man About the House! After losing his home and on-and-off Love Interest Chrissy, Robin has been got a new girlfriend Vicky. Now he and her plan to act on his dream and open a Bistro. With Vicky's Father as their 'Snoring' partner and a One armed Dish-washer they make a go at it! Robin's Nest is a highly enjoyable Series with only a couple of problems, These are just that fact that neither Mildred and George Roper or Chrissy and Jo appear. It is a big shame that it is the only one of the 3 (Man about the House, George and Mildred, Robin's nest) which DID NOT have a movie. A Must watch for Fans of Classic UK TV and have a good sense of Humour!

Fairly routine sitcom, more laugh a month than laugh a minute, and even those were generated by the impeccable David Kelly. The only real interest this generated at the time was that Wyatt, who was then married to DJ and recent "I'm a Celebrity get me out of here" winner Tony Blackburn, left him for O'Sullivan in mid run.Blackburn who's star was very much on the wane at the time (The IMDB chronology illustrating this perfectly) has bounced back from whining about his (debatable) loss in countless tabloids, to relative success on both Radio and TV. Wyatt and O'Sullivan on the other hand, have sunk without much trace. What goes around....

Fairly funny spin-off for Richard O'Sullivan from 'Man about the House'. This series, produced for Thames TV between 1977 and 1981, sees Richard playing Robin again, this time married and setting up his own restaurant. Their one-armed dishwasher Albert also provides plenty of laughs. Comedy relief is also provided by Robin's parents-in-law, who look with much nostalgia upon their divorce day. Not a remarkably outstanding comedy series, but a lot funnier than others.
