The Upper Crusts - episode 2 (1973) | Starring Charles Gray, Margaret Leighton and Lalla Ward

"We are moving to a Council House!" After the shock of their financial ruin, Lord Robin Seacroft (Charles Gray) and Lady Philis (Margaret Leighton) decide that a council house is the most "sensible" next step—mostly because they believe it's a gift from an old school friend! Watch as the family navigates the bewildering world of housing applications, "points" systems, and high-street shopping for "working-class beds." From mistaking the local housing officer for a school chum named "Skatty Batty" to Lord Seacroft’s attempt at "pulling strings" with the Chairman of the Council, this episode is a masterclass in unintentional arrogance and 70s farce.
