Sid James plays Sid Abbott - Mr Average Married Man. A representative for a stationery firm. Sid's interest in life are the three C's: Chelsea, Courage bitter and Crumpet, and not necessarily in that order. In common with most married men, however, he finds these ambitions constatnly thwarted by his wife, son and daughter, also not necessarily in that order. Sid likes to think he is with it, but in actual fact, he would not know it if he saw it.

Diana Coupland plays his attractive, sensible, level-headed wife. Sally Geeson is his 16-year old daughter, Sally. She's in her last year at Grammar School and is the apple of Sid's eye. Robin Stewart plays Mike who is 19 and just left college. He is far too busy straightening out the affairs of the world to bother about a job.
