The play depicts the successful attempt by a young sailor to curb the tyrannical ways of his prospective mother-in-law. It was the first London appearance by Peggy Mount, who achieved immediate celebrity in the role of the domineering Mrs Hornett. The play spawned a film adaptation and a stage sequel, and has been revived on several occasions. Love Island's Sammy Root speaks out on Jess Harding split and reveals why he's not looking to get into another relationshipOn stage, Mount appeared in London and the regions during the decade. At Bristol Old Vic in October 1962 she played Queenie Hesseltine in All Things Bright and Beautiful, subsequently appearing at the Phoenix Theatre, London, in the same play; at the Globe in March 1964 she played Mrs. Spicer in Mother's Boy; at the Arts Theatre, Ipswich, in September 1964 she appeared as Mrs. Wolff in The Beaver Coat; and at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham in May 1965 she played Gladys in Did You Feel It Move?

The series made little impression, [15] and it was not until 1966 that Mount was cast in a television series that approached the popularity of The Larkins; this was the sitcom George and the Dragon, with Sid James and John Le Mesurier. Four series were made between 1966 and 1968. [16] Mount was given a role of a quite different character in the comedy-thriller series John Browne's Body (1969), in which she played a bungling amateur sleuth. [2]

From 1971 to 1972, Mount starred in the television comedy Lollipop Loves Mr. Mole with Hugh Lloyd and Pat Coombs. Her character in this series was still formidable, but gentler than many of her characteristic earlier roles. [2] On BBC radio, Mount appeared as Mistress Otter in Ben Jonson's The Silent Woman (1972), Opinionated Alice in Stargazy on Zummerdown (1978) and Madame Arcati in Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit (1983).
