Moody and Pegg

Roland Moody and Daphne Pegg both leave behind failed relationships to move into their own flats—unaware that there's been a mix-up with the lease, and they've both been assigned the same property.

With the duo becoming reluctant flatmates, each regards the other as a squatter and claims dominance. Daphne finds the situation impossible, with Roland's persistent girlfriend Iris around for much of the time. Oddly enough, Roland is beginning to see the situation in a different light.

Daphne and Roland have agreed to equally share the flat. However, neither expect a surprise visit from Daphne's Auntie Ethel, who intends to stay for six weeks. Roland, whose plans for a new campaign of seduction are threatened by the intrusion, unexpectedly saves the day with charm and diplomacy. Daphne is grateful, but ends up owing him for much more besides....

Daphne has no escort to her department's annual ball. Not fooled by her indifference, Roland arranges for his assistant, Sid, to accompany her. Daphne's fury at Roland's interference melts into pleasant surprise on seeing Sid resplendent in his dinner jacket. She has a Prince Charming for the night — but will the rest of the story come true?

Daphne and Roland's neighbour, Commander Shelby-Gibbs, has returned early from Brussels — unknown to them, he has an assignation in his flat with a young lady. All is going swimmingly for the Commander, until his wife unexpectedly appears. Roland makes Daphne a reluctant accomplice in an ever more complicated game of musical beds...

A disagreement involving Roland's lady-friend Monica becomes a blazing row and the delicate arrangement between Daphne and Roland falls apart. Efforts to partition fail, and neither can afford to buy the other one out; a game of chance must decide who's to go. Once parted, both seek out their initial lifestyles. But will these live up to expectations?
