This episode is from very early in the series. Episode #2. Most of the characters are just the same as they appear through out the show's run. Jane, the level headed friend. Irma, the not so smart friend. Al, the unemployed and seedy boyfriend of Irma. In later shows, Jane's millionaire boss and boyfriend Richard seems to be replaced with a different boyfriend. The land lady, Mrs. O'Riley in this show is married, but in later shows she is single and sometimes on the prowl for one of the tenants, a gent with a foreign accent. Irma's boss makes occasional appearances in episodes, voiced by Alan Reed. The foreign sounding tenant who appears in later shows seems to change as the show goes on, always bickering with Mrs O'Riley, but sometimes more friendly toward her than others. .
