They had three children, a boy in his early teens and two girls who were slightly younger (one played by Roberta Tovey). Charlotte Mitchell played her friend Mary.
In later series she had a baby, and they moved from the suburbs to the country.
It is significant mainly as Wendy Craig's first role as a scatty housewife; she played similar roles in several other series over the next fifteen years.
