"I've Married A Bachelor" follows the problems faced by newlyweds Peter and Molly Prentice. Peter is a typical Australian male who finds it difficult to shake off his bachelor lifestyle. His best friend Mervyn MacGregor is a loyal friend but is somewhat dim-witted and a constant source of disaster to the Prentice household. Molly is somewhat tolerant of her husband's ways but devises plans to change the situation. She often seeks the wisdom  of her mother Mrs. Malley, who provides help and advice in this constant struggle. Production. The series was sold overseas to several countries including England, Scotland, New Zealand and Sweden.
