• Bill and Ben seem at first sight a typical couple, married with children Jenny and David and unmarried man-loving family friend Rona. Further developments show, however, that they are prone to situations of an increasingly bizarre nature, belying the ironic implications of the show's title.
• Also involved periodically are Ben's assistant, the aggressive Christine, his sister Tina, a fluffy fussy travesty of femininity, Bill's mother Bette and her sister Belle, Ben's father Frank, Rona's Auntie Pearl, Ben's arch enemy and plumber-trickster Jake the Klingon, snotty neighbours Dora and Leonard Grimes, and prospective in-laws Harry and Laura Carson.
• Clare Woodgate left the show after two series, changed her name to Georgina Cates and headed for Hollywood.
• Series creator Andrew Marshall wrote all episode descriptions for this episode guide.
