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.

The escapades of the mismatched next-door neighbours whose friendship is constantly being tested to the limits are collected here with thirty hilarious episodes from the much loved BBC television series.

Series Three: The Early Birds, The Happy Event, A Tug of the Forelock, I Talk To The Trees, The Wind-Break War, Whose Fleas Are These?, The Last Posh Frock.

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.

Great fun

Took me back to my childhood. A delight to listen to, full of charm and humour.

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

This was just like watching it in the good old days. If you enjoyed watching this program you will love listening to it again. Yes, it is just the audio of each episode in full but even so, it was great to listen too. There is so much content for just 1 credit. Even if you’ve never seen the program before, you will still enjoy this title.

Blast from the past.
