A satire about suburbia, it was written by Canberra-based writer Ric Throssell, and based on a stage play titled Dr Homer. Aired in a 60-minute time-slot, it was produced in ABC's Sydney studios by Henri Safran. Original music was composed by Nigel Butterley and Frank Lvons.

According to one paper "throughout the play the author pokes his tongue at suburbia, materialism, education and television, among other things. "

"Digger" Smith returns from World War Two to his wife "Shirt" a baby girl, Betty, and a modest house in the suburbs. A happy, uncomplicated man, "Digger" Smith stays so until prosperity catches up with him and he makes strenuous efforts to "keep up with the Joneses." Betty's boyfriend is Elmo.
