Keeping Company (TV series)

Keeping Company is a British television sitcom that aired from 1980 to 1981. The series starred Peter Davison as David, a young man who unexpectedly inherits a share in a dilapidated boarding house. He becomes entangled with the eccentric residents and struggles to manage the property with the help of his friend, Martin, played by Nigel Havers.

The show's humor derived from the clash between David's relatively normal life and the unconventional lives of the boarding house inhabitants, including a flamboyant artist, a forgetful elderly woman, and a con artist. The series focused on David's attempts to maintain order and profitability in the chaotic environment while navigating various personal and professional challenges.

Keeping Company ran for two series, totaling 13 episodes. While not a major critical success, it provided early roles for Davison and Havers, who would later achieve greater fame in other British television productions. The series is generally considered a lighthearted comedy reflecting the social and economic climate of early 1980s Britain.
