Three Up, Two Down

1985–1989 · 4 seasons

A gentle, laugh-track British sitcom where class-clash bickering and slow-burn romance keep things cosy and predictable.

Created by
John B. Hobbs, Mandie Fletcher
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Lysette Anthony, Angela Thorne, Ray Burdis
Overview
Comedy series about Nick and Angie, a young married couple, Angie's snobbish mother Daphne, and Nick's cockney father Sam. Much of the humour arises from the fact that the mismatched Daphne and Sam are forced by circumstances to share the flat below that occupied by their children.
