This is the unique original Pen & Ink Wash by Alan Parry.

The Ropers and their tenants are camping out while their flats are fixed up. They attempt to thwart a pair of thieves but are mistaken for thieves themselves and are nearly shot by the owner of the house.

Man About the House is a British sitcom created by Brian Cooke and Johnnie Mortimer that starred Richard O'Sullivan, Paula Wilcox, Sally Thomsett, Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy.

Six series were broadcast on ITV from 15 August 1973 to 7 April 1976. The series was considered daring at the time because it featured a man sharing a London flat with two single women.

This was featured in issue 18 of Look-in, 1974.
