'''''Moody and Pegg''''' is a bittersweet British [[comedy-drama]], produced by [[Thames Television]] for [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] between 1974 and 1975, and written by [[Donald Churchill]] and [[Julia Jones (dramatist)|Julia Jones]]. [[Derek Waring]] and [[Judy Cornwell]] starred in this series that accented comedy but also had moments of drama.

Waring played Roland Moody, a newly divorced 42-year-old junk/antique dealer greatly anticipating freedom from matrimonial ties. Cornwell was cast as Daphne Pegg, plain spinster and dedicated civil servant in her early thirties who leaves her home in [[Bolton]] after realising that her office boss will never agree to marry her. She heads for London in order to make a clean break from her past, but, owing to a rogue estate agent's dealings, finds that a man – Moody – also has a valid lease arrangement for the property she acquires. Unable to work out who is the squatter, they agree to be feuding partners and share, forging a very uncomfortable situation that is exacerbated by Moody's prodigious line of visiting girlfriends. Eventually, Moody loses in a winner-takes-all poker game and leaves, only to return in the second series.

The title theme is "The Free Life" by prolific library music composer [[Alan Parker (musician)|Alan Parker]].
