For Gods sake! That's expensive. I never realised London was so expensive to live in - and that was 10 years ago! Those young professionals must've been on some salaries.
shareThat seems excessive. They always seemed to be fighting for the bathroom too. Surely for that price there should have been more than one bathroom, in fact they should all have had en-suites.

I've just checked my DVD. It says £450 per week. You're right. That's maybe not that bad for London in '96 after all.
Can I just say that this was the best f#cking tv show I've ever seen? I was 30 in 1996 but this show struck such a chord with me and so many others my age. I love it and I probably always will. F#ck, I wish I was back in the 90s. I loved that era so much.
(Don't complain if I made this a post on its own later...!)
Surely it was £450 pw for ALL housemates. The paying of rent is a collective thing, i.e. bundled together rather than individual payments. It is up to the tenants as a house to pay the rent, weather they pay equal amounts or not, is relative, although most people do. I don't think egg or Ferdy would have been able to afford £450 EACH pw.

It has to be the combined rent - I know someone renting a penthouse apartment in Docklands with river views and a balcony and they're paying £500 pw now. People house share to limit their rent and it is a good way of making new friends too.
shareFunny the shock of some people...
£450 per week is for the whole house.
Usually, people with bigger rooms pay a bit more. Egg and Milly could afford it cause they were sharing that room.
Bills and taxes are all shared equally.

Trainee solicitors do earn quite nice salaries for such young 'uns. Not like those of us with crap media studies degrees who earned a pittance in our first job.
