[[caption-width-right:300:The Webleys - George and Rosemary]]
''Inside George Webley'' is a {{Britcom}} that aired on Creator/{{ITV}} from 1968-70, starring Creator/RoyKinnear and Creator/PatsyRowlands.
George Webley (Kinnear) is a bank clerk at Meanside and Beestley Savings Bank. He is also a {{Hypochondriac}}, and incredibly pessimistic, obsessive-compulsive, and pseudo-intellectual. His wife, Rosemary (Rowlands), is a much simpler person who, while she cares not for such things, still loves her husband dearly. The two live in a council house in Leeds, where George is constantly trying to better himself, only for his high view of himself to lead him to embarrassment time and time again.
While the show was never considered to be bad or poorly written, it was never repeated after its initial run. All of the first series is now considered {{Missing|Episode}} from the archives while the surviving second series is unable to be viewed by the public.

!! Tropes in this Series:
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''irty '''D'''ora, a OneShotCharacter from "Noblesse Oblige".
* BritishBrevity: Only two series totalling twelve episodes were made.
* CrashIntoHello: George first met Rosemary in 1956, when he bumped into her on the steps of Leeds Central Public Library and nearly knocked her music case out of her hand.
* TheEeyore: George is a terrible pessimist and always the first to think of a negative to any situation, much to Rosemary's chagrin.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: George has the feminine "Meredith" as his.
* FaintInShock: A horror film George and Rosemary watch in "The Light Is Dark Enough" is scary enough to make George faint in the first ten minutes.
* HiccupHijinks: George suffers from a case of hiccups in "Hold Your Breath and Count to Fifty", but despite all his and Rosemary's attempts to cure them, they won't seem to go away.
* {{Housewife}}: Rosemary believes a woman's place is in the home, and happily cooks and cleans for George. "Brief Encounter" reveals she doesn't even think women should ''drive!''
* {{Hypochondriac}}: George will believe he has every illness and ailment under the sun. In "Get Well Soon", he believes he is dying, and his doctor, Dr. Horniman, is just as much of a hypochondriac as he is, making matters worse.
* IllGirl: Rosemary is prone to having a cold, but George often doesn't notice.
* IronicName: Mr. '''Marigold''' from "A Lovesome Thing" is ironically a terrible gardener.
* {{Irony}}: In "A Lean and Hungry Look", the landlord of the local pub gives George a lecture on overdrinking. George sees the irony of it all, leading him to go to Simon's Gymnasium to try and lose weight.
* MistakenForDying: George thinks he is dying after swallowing a prune stone in "Get Well Soon", while [[{{Hypochondriac}} Dr. Horniman]] doesn't do much to reassure him on the matter.
* MovieTheaterEpisode: George and Rosemary spend "The Light Is Dark Enough" at the pictures watching a horror film promising a prize of £10,000 to anyone who dies of fright.
* PunBasedTitle: "A Lean and Hungry Look" from Series 2 is a play on the phrase "a mean and hungry look".
* ShoutOut: The fourth episode of Series 2 is titled after the film ''Film/BriefEncounter''.
* SickEpisode: Rosemary suffers from a cold throughout "Get Well Soon" but is unable to receive treatment as George and Dr. Horniman (incorrectly) believe George is dying.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: When George wants to take up gardening in "A Lovesome Thing", he gets help from Mr. '''Marigold''', a so-called gardening expert who is named after a type of flower.
* TalkingInBed: "I'll Get It in a Minute" revolves around George being unable to fall asleep as he is unable to remember the name of someone he knows. Unfortunately for Rosemary, he feels obligated to share this with her and so keeps her up with his efforts to remember.
* VacationEpisode: George and Rosemary go for a holiday in Bridlington in "Are You Sure or Only Positive?", where George spends his time worrying whether he switched the gas off at home or not.
* WeddingEpisode: "Noblesse Oblige" has the Webleys attend a wedding reception, where George is accused by Rosemary of being a snob for being the only one dressed formally while the buffet is in the chip shop!
