I am afriad I am going to have to report the Goods for contravening ordinance 25B-11C of the EU 1998 directive on keeping livestock in non farm designated environments, subject to a fine of 5,000 Euros plus 300 hrs community service. Signed : Gerard Jobsworth

[euro4569]

@jontibloom

Well you know what the EU can do don't you (LOL, having a laugh but meaning every word)

[hakeem2003]

hardly pure and clean lol

[blackiemittens]

God! Here's an American who'd be an ex-patriot only if she could move to Serbiton (sp?) and live right between the Goods' and Ledbetters'. Barbara would have loved me, I'd have left the pub and come and helped when the storm nearly wrecked their garden.

[DJbobbyDoll]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE  IS SOOOOO MUCH.... More episodes please .... :D

[soulgirl66]

Thank you for uploading this! "Good Neighbors" (aka The Good Life) is one of my favorites! Tom and Barbara have the kind of marriage I want to have someday. They seem to have so much fun together.

I've never seen the Christmas Show before. Hilarious! Again, thanks!

[gazzzgo]

I reckon this could have got out of hand! You can't tell me that there was always an undercurrent of 'switcheroo!'

[ShinyHappyPurple]

"The Ooh Ahh bird is so called because it lays square eggs" Haha XD

[cesario21]

Thank you thank you thank you for posting these videos!!!

[C5Rigzz]

"Your orange went down Margo's dress and was declared out of bounds."

~priceless

[lighthousedreamers]

OuijaBird, on behalf of all the viewers who find great pleasure in this show...immense waves of gratitude coming your way for all your hard work, time, and effort into uploading this excellent, witty series!

Well done and all the best! =D Cheers!

[bogadea]

I second that. Thanks so much!

[Applae2000]

I reckon this is the best christmas sitcom I have ever seen.

[cynlee717]

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas shows!

[samsagitarias]

"Those games are rather childish arnt they" asks Margo, "yes " replies Barbara- "we're adults shouldnt we do something that adults do ? " cue dirty snigger from Jerry LOL so funny and Margo's face - the look she gives him - LOL

[cnaptakmockba]

the ooohh aaaahh bird is so called because it lays square eggs....... very funny english joke

[Shinkansen91]

hahaha - "I can safely say that on the right occasion, this will be the perfect thing to wear." "... and on what occasion will that be" Those sweaters/overtops are awful, and the spewy green colour!!! Thank you so much for uploading this - one of my favourite episodes.

[dharmaseed]

Jerry's expression at 6:05 says it all.

[cynlee717]

I don't care how old this is-- it's still one of my favorite Christmas shows-- and especially as to the message!

[djgbroughton07]

Yes you are right. Thank you for sharing that with us all .

[bettesbaby]

"Steven and Maria had a magician last year..."

"Oh, did he taste nice?"

[ScotiaAdonis]

I absolutely adore The Good Life. Pure clean comedy from the 70's. Just what TV is sorely lacking these days. Margo's facial expressions are absolutely priceless. I know a few people just like her.

[Kanagawaboy]

You are damn right...it is a classic.

[batmanofni]

@ScotiaAdonis Well they just don't show the dirty stuff, it's mostly implied.

[bluejeckett]

@ScotiaAdonis lol That phrase gets bandied about alot like a cliche, good clean fun, so pure it was about smutty innuendo sexism and now that Ive watched the entire series the word "stupid bitch" slurred twice. Ahhh yes, the wholesomeness of the 70s Take the rose tinted glasses off lol

[ladybuginfrance]

@ScotiaAdonis

I am one of those people, although in all seriousness, we do not know each other.

[alcockell]

@ScotiaAdonis "Clean"? You REALLY missed all the crap the Beeb successfully got past the radar back then?

As in the TV Tropes entry "Getting crap past the radar"?

[chuckmonkey7337]

i love margo

[thebizworks]

Superb!! This is another Christmastime must-see. Classic show, classic episode and classic comic actors... just simply classic all round.

[frozentootsiepop]

I LOVE Margo's face when she says "This is the Daily Mirror" HAHA!! She's great.

[EllyyTalbot]

[fkd1963]
