The Wit & Wisdom of The Good Life is packed with amusing quotes from the beloved sitcom, including classic exchanges between Tom, Barbara, Jerry and Margo, as well as fun facts and stats about the cast and characters. Not to mention homemade wine, methane generators and a very opinionated goat named Geraldine.

First broadcast by the BBC in the spring of 1975, the show follows Tom Good who, on his 40th birthday, abandons his job designing plastic toys for cereal boxes to pursue total self-sufficiency. Alongside his wife Barbara, he transforms their suburban home into a smallholding in The Avenue, Surbiton, digging up the lawn for vegetables and taking in chickens, pigs, and a goat, much to the horror of their next-door neighbours, Jerry and Margo Leadbetter.

Over four series and 30 episodes, the Goods' increasingly eccentric self-sufficiency drives ever-escalating friction, and affection, next door. The appeal of The Good Life is rooted in the gentle rivalry and enduring friendship between two couples living wildly different lives on either side of the same garden fence.

An iconic British sitcom voted among the nation's best, The Good Life is a comedy classic that still feels remarkably ahead of its time.
