Move Over Mrs Markham

Philip Markham, a publisher of children’s books, is asked by his business partner, Henry Lodge, if he can borrow the flat for the evening to gallivant with his latest girlfriend.

At the same time, Joanna Markham is being persuaded by Linda Lodge to let her borrow the empty flat to entertain her lover. What nobody knows is that the interior designer who has been decorating the flat has decided that this is the night he and the au pair girl will try out the new oval bed.

When the Markhams’ evening out is cancelled, the three sets of hopeful lovers converge on the bedroom at the same time. The frantic efforts of the Markhams to hide the amorous goings-on from Olive Harriet Smythe, a straightlaced authoress of children’s books lead to a hectic and hilarious evening.
