About this listen

Meet Surbiton’s most famous residents; Tom, Barbara, Margo and Jerry.

It is Tom Good's 40th birthday and he feels thoroughly unfulfilled. If only he can discover what 'It' is, and if he can, will his wife Barbara agree to do 'It' with him?

The subsequent and sudden transformation of the Goods’ home into a smallholding causes consternation for Margo and Jerry next door, and they decide it’s their duty to interfere...

So begins The Good Life, the much loved classic sitcom starring Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington and Penelope Keith.

Great fun - audio taken from the show with Penelope Keith giving the occasional narration. Fun to listen to and as charming as I remember it to be.

Wonderfully nostalgic

Memorable performances from all actors and Penelope Keith's prompts are unobtrusive and perfectly describe only the scenes which require such description. it was written and recorded in the 70s, so some cultural references are of their time and therefore may surprise some. A warm, comforting, funny show.

Classic uplifting comedy
