Sitcom. In the Sydney suburb of Balmain, young married’s Rita and Wally Stiller sometimes find it hard coping with the demands of Rita’s widowed father Dominic McGooley who they live with.

When Geoffrey Chater left the series in 1970 the title was changed to Rita and Wally but by that time the show was coming to a natural close anyway. Stewart Ginn won a Penguin in 1968 for best supporting talent for his role in the show.
