A very camp actor called Hilary moves into the house. He has written a play which he wants Ruth and Alan to perform. Rigsby is less than pleased to think that this will allow the long-haired student to share intimate moments with his beloved Miss Jones,so he appeals to Alan's homophobia and tells him that Hilary is gay,scaring Alan off which leads to Hilary asking Rigsby to replace him. Aware of what has gone on Hilary sits very near to Rigsby on the sofa and appears to make a pass at him, scaring Rigsby off from appearing the play. however,when Hilary assumes the lead it is clear from his behaviour with Ruth that he is definitely not gay.
one of my fav 70s sitcoms,great performances from all the cast and Leonard Rossiter was one of britains best actors,a shame Kate Beckinsale did'nt inherit her dads talent as Richard Beckinsale is always a joy,and Peter Bowles is always reliabe.
