Distracted by the noises of the hospital, Mike decides to move out and search for lodgings. His first attempt is a disaster; a sexy young woman ( Clare Shenstone ) tries to seduce him by pretending to be ill so he can examine her. When her mother returns, she sees what looks like him trying to strangle her.
His next port of call is no better; the door is answered by a gay man who makes no secret of his interest in Upton.
The next place he visits is inhabited by two dotty old ladies ( Betty Hare and May Warden ). Upton is told he can have the room as soon as the previous occupant has left. He glances round and sees the bare feet of a corpse sticking out from under bedclothes. Panicking, he runs off to catch a bus.
Things look up when he calls on Scottish widow Mrs.Muir ( Renee Houston ). The room is spacious, cheap, and clean, everything he has been looking for. But he does not yet know there is a catch; the other students are interested in it too...
The fourth episode of 'House' is pretty good, benefiting from a change of location ( not much of St.Swithins here ) , and a guest appearance from the talented Renee Houston, who was in one of my favourite movies: 'The Horse's Mouth' starring Alec Guinness.
Yutte Stensgaard, as ever, looks incredible, whether it be in the bath or stepping over the students in her night-clothes as they try to get some sleep.
Funniest moment - the girl's mother searching Mike's belongings. Opening a box on top of the wardrobe, she shrieks as a skeleton falls out! ( Although Graeme Garden was quoted as saying no gags from the movie were used, this one is similar to a famous scene where Dr.Simon Sparrow ( Dirk Bogarde ) gets on a bus with a package, which turns out to contain a skeleton. Perhaps Graeme thought the gag too good to leave out completely ).
