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?

I remember, vividly, watching the Goods go about their self sufficiency life style with Geraldine the Goat and Lenin the wandering cockerel and a pink pigsty. Margo’s frequent shocks at what she saw and her cries of Jerry! This collection has been a wonderful walk down memory lane and a reminder of what good quality entertainment is all about. It’s also a reminder about being friends regardless of your differences.

A must for those fans of the original TV series. Great nostalgia trip. Great listening. The pendant in me has picked up on 2 niggles tho. Penelope Keith calls a butter churn a milk churn in her narration and calls a broom a 'sweeping brush'. it's a broom!!!!

Great trip down memory lane

Penelope Keith does an excellent job of describing the scenes when needed. A very funny comedy which stands up well today.

Really enjoyable!
