Of course, it is this contrast between George and Mildred as well as that between the Ropers and their well-to-do neighbours, the Fourmiles, that is at the root of this show and occasionally it's quite a funny piece of comedy.
As George and Mildred receive an invite to the Fourmiles for tea with some prominent guests, George gets locked in the bathroom and is only able to attend by shimmying down the drainpipe in his dressing gown.
George, of course, uses the opportunity to enjoy the Fourmiles' colour television but when Mildred decides to get her living-room redecorated by professionals, George confuses them and they strip the expensive wallpaper from the walls of the Fourmiles' living-room, leaving George to repair the damage.
