Three classic
episodes from one of the all
time great UK sitcoms The Good
Life, made by the BBC between
1974 and 78. The premise of the
series sees Tom Good reaching
the age of 40 and tiring of the
rat race deciding that he and
his wife Barbara should become
self sufficient in the middle of
suburbia, much to the distress
of their upwardly mobile next
door neighbours Margo and Jerry
Ledbetter. The three episodes
featured on this single disc set
are Backs to the Wall
which was the final episode of
season one and sees Tom and
Barbara about to bring in their
first harvest - until Tom's back
gives out on him, luckily
however Margo and Jerry are on
hand to help out. Next up is The
Windbreak War from season
four which sees Margo planning
to build an arbour in her back
garden for her theatrical
society soirees - much to the
distress of Tom and Barbara as a
planned Windbreak will block out
the light for some of their new
plants. Finally there is the
Christmas Special Silly But
It's Fun which sees Margo
and Jerry joining in with the
Good's untypical Christmas
celebrations "The Oo-Ah
bird is so called because it
lays square eggs. This DVD is an
absolutely essential addition to
your library.
