Recent work on the physical processes resulting from mass transfer between the red and blue components of dwarf nova binaries is reviewed. The optical behaviour of the blue component's accretion disc suggests that it may be the infall, accretion energy which is being liberated during outbursts. Theoretical results which suggest that the red component may suffer quasi-periodic mass transfer instabilities are discussed. The resulting accretion disc properties are considered and compared with the observed optical outburst behaviour for the simplest steady state disc models. The complexity of the interaction between the two stellar components in these systems is emphasized.
