If you notice neither couple have children either.
The writers wanted to keep the stories around self-sufficiency, and not just turn it into "another sit com".
Apparently there were lots of calls for it to continue, but the writers said they had done all the elf-sufficiency they could come up with, so wanted to call it a day.
They all rejoined a couple of years later to do the special filmed in front of the Queen, it really was poor and had only the passing mention to self-sufficiency.
This show really holds the test of time. A show that could be on today. Great ensemble acting. What I love most is the friendship of the four. I think the name of this show in the States was 'Good Neighbors' a better name for the show, showing the friendship of the two neighbors.
On a differant note, this kind of lifestyle would be harder in the States with no health care.
Back in the 70's, when this program was on I remember Felicity Kendal was voted by British viewers "The sexiest woman on British TV". She could never understand why. "My face was always dirty!". After watching the shows again I remember why they voted for her.
They don't write it like they used 2 fantastic cast, brilliant actors! self -sufficient farm complete with veg patches a goat pigs & a multitude of hens... oh & a horse. I can see clearly now 2 why it's called 'tThe Good Life'. Back the farmers!
its just like sittting at home with my mum watching Television.

Why didn't they just take civil action for compensation? It damaged their property after all.

@Avillageidiot59 Yes. She was very sexy in this show. I was about 15 when I first saw the show, and had quite a crush on her.
