A celebration of one of the UK's most enduring sitcoms, with contributions from Penelope Keith along with the families of co-stars Richard Briers and Paul Eddington.
For four series millions of viewers tuned in to enjoy the antics of Tom and Barbara Good, played by Briers and Felicity Kendall, as they tackled self-sufficiency in the unlikely setting of suburbia, much to the despair of their friends and neighbours Jerry and Margot. This documentary explores The Good Life phenomenon, with classic moments, rare personal archive from the cast, and never-before-seen backstage moments and bloopers.
