george and mildred be a spin off from the mid 1970s sit com man about the house . though i haven not see the series since it be last broadcast i do remember it be fairly amuse with most of the comedy arise from the eponymous couple go to live beside the snobbish fourmile family and a sort of love thy neighbour without the cynical racist gag . have see this big screen version of the show i find myself ask what it a big screen version of . certainly not of a popular mid 70 sit com of the same name . for some reason the movie jettisons all character interaction from the television by have george and mildred leave the street where they live behind and get catch up in a plot involve some serious gangster who want something george have inadvertently pick up and which lead to some cringe make situation and line like represent do he give it to you no that the first time a man have resist my charm i mean the envelope you do get the impression that screenwriter dick sharples ( who never write an episode for the original sit com ) have never see an episode of the source material and have get the show confuse with the carry on series of film . in many way it resemble the same mistake of the latter lose in space movie in that it have absolutely nothing in common with the series that spawn it .
