70s sitcom Man About the House returns on Freeview channel
Airing from 1973 until 1976, the show starred the likes of Richard O'Sullivan, Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett.
Now, fans will be able to watch the classic series once again on That's TV (channel 56), which is known for playing reruns, according to The Sun.
Sharing a clip of the show on Facebook, the TV channel said: "Man about the house, this summer on That's TV."
Viewers have gushed over the ITV show on IMDb, where fans gave the programme a strong score of 7.2/10.
One fan wrote: "I absolutely LOVED this show when it aired here, even though I was a little kid by then.
"It had the kind of charm and mood that keeps you laughing until it hurts, the cast was excellent and so was the timing."
One person said it was "one of the best 70s sitcoms" of all time, telling users: "Now the series is over 30 years old, but it is still funny. I saw it when I was a child, and I can still recall the laughter at home.
"It was the first British TV series that topped the TV rankings in Spain and even now, people remember it.
"Two different situations: Upstairs, the three flatmates, and downstairs, the landlord and his wife. The scripts were terrific: Both situations fitted perfectly.
"And what about the actors? all of them were absolutely brilliant, especially my dear Mrs Roper."
Discussing how it compares to its American spin-off, Three's Company, a third person added: "The one thing the Brits know about television is knowing when to stop.
"This show did more with 39 episodes (& one movie) than Three's Company did with 172 episodes.
"While it does leave you wanting more, I'd rather have a few excellent shows than dozens of mediocre or downright horrible ones."

Lady Glenconner's Picnic Papers - Butlers and avocado soup: how the posh picnic
Lady Glenconner's Picnic Papers by Anne Glenconner (Bedford Square £10.99, 304pp) You might expect a picnic with a princess to be a glittering affair where you wash down caviar sandwiches with glass after glass of champagne, all in the shade of some great palace. However, if your royal hostess was Princess Margaret, you were more likely to find yourself wincing as you politely tried to swallow her picnic favourite: avocado soup. Lady Glenconner, former lady in waiting to the princess and self-described 'dedicated picnicker', has compiled this delightful book celebrating the very British obsession with picnicking. The contributors, all friends stretching from royalty to TV stars, each share a picnic tale, and the occasional recipe to add to Lady Glenconner's hamper. Lady Glenconner's life, as revealed in her fabulous memoir Lady In Waiting, has been stuffed with enough glamour, grandeur and tragedy to rival even the most dramatic episode of Downton Abbey. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that she has collected such an extraordinary list of friends in her 92 years. Most of the picnicdotes are a far cry from the rest of us eating pork pies and drinking warm prosecco in one's local park. Colin Tennant, husband of Lady Glenconner, also shared his wife's fanaticism for al fresco dining. Once at Glen (their Scottish country estate) he arranged a picnic at the loch for his eccentric uncle, Stephan Tennant, who thought the colour of heather vulgar. The only solution for such a problem was, of course, to organise hundreds of blue paper flowers to be stuck on the hill to mask the offending purple. 'So much better, darling boy' was the thanks from his uncle. Princess Margaret wouldn't picnic without her butler and, even then, thought that a proper picnic should be eaten indoors while seated at a chair. I would have thought this was called 'eating a meal' but who am I to question her royal highness? Peculiar tastes are rife in the upper echelons and Lady Glenconner shows that the greatest way to understand the eccentricities of the upper class is by glimpsing into their hampers. A staple feature of picnics provided by Princess Margaret's friend Angela Huth? Strawberry and chicken soup. No thanks! However, it's not just titled folk who share their picnic secrets with us. Graham Norton reveals that he too remembers picnics as an indoors affair, albeit sat in a car in Ireland rather than the Banqueting House of Hampton Court. His father would say all that was needed was a patch of blue sky 'big enough for a pair of sailor's trousers' and if you could see at least one tree, your meal would be transformed into a picnic. There are tips on picnicking while airborne, what to do when eating with a maharajah and how to wash up your dishes (all good picnics are served on china plates) if you find yourself stuck in the Sahara. From Hampton Court to the Himalayas and from Mick Jagger to Winston Churchill, this book is a movable feast of delightful anecdotes. If you want to discover what the great and the good are like at their most relaxed, then look no further than the Picnic Papers. Essential for every picnic hamper this summer.

The new character is set to cause chaos in Albert Square NEW STAR Casualty star joins EastEnders for major new storyline – and it's bad news for the Mitchells EASTENDERS has signed up a former Casualty star for a shocking new role - and he's going to be around for a while. The BBC soap has cast Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu as new character Okie. 2 Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu made his debut earlier this week as Okie Credit: BBC 2 The actor will be sticking around on the show for the coming months The gangster made his debut earlier this week as he confronted Ravi Gulati and Harry Mitchel about the drug deal gone wrong. But after crashing Ravi's daughter's birthday party, and insulting Ravi, he ended up getting a kicking and being left with the rubbish outside of the club. Now The Sun can reveal that Okie - full name Tobias Okyere - will be back as a resident fixture in Walford. A source said: 'Okie is going to cause chaos in Walford. 'He'll really set the cat amongst the pigeons and become quite the thorn in the side for Harry and the other Mitchells. 'He's going to become a familiar face over the next few months so he's definitely one to watch out for.' The new arrival comes as EastEnders is saying goodbye to a string of characters. Last week the remaining members of the Taylor family left the Square as Bernie and Felix fled to Spain for a new life with the Panesar family money. Actors Clare Norris and Matthew James Morrison left the show after new boss Ben Wadey made sweeping changes. And in the coming months both Bobby Brazier and Molly Rainford are set to leave.
