Re: The good life

It only recently occured to me that the main male characters - Tom Good (Richard Briers), and Jerry Leadbetter (Paul Eddington) were, collectively - Tom & Jerry! I presume that was deliberate.

Re: The good life

I know that The Good Life, had a great cast and I really rate Penelope Keith, but as much as i've tried through the years I only can like it for say 10 minutes at a time or so or a full episode if i'm lucky - in a way it was just a programme I never could get into or grasp the "comedy" of it. As much as Penelope was great in The Good Life I thought she was even better in the programme about the mansion she was in as opposed to The Good Life.

Re: The good life

Felicity Kendall was a child crush of mine. I never really understood why she was with Tom story wise, you think she'd of done a bit better for herself.

I think it was because she saw the child in Tom and was drawn towards it.

and apparently the house the goods lived in still draws visitors who come to to see that famous house.

Apparently this series made people think of allotments from what i read.
But its a superb show with a top cast.
