[dharmaseed]

God, Paul Eddington was so fantastic. HIs nervousness is palpable in the first scene.

[WhtRabbit76]

@SignalsOverTheAir - it IS Penny, and did you notice that both Sir and Stephen are that sort of absent minded type?

[mollydasiy7]

Felicity Kendal still looks good now on strictly come dancing

[bluejeckett]

Felicity Kendall did do it for me when I was a teen lol U dont get a tighter arse than that for sure lol

[blagger56]

No swearing, no vile, acerbic "characters" that are supposed to make you laugh, no drugs, no alcoholism, no shit. Just gentle comedy from a long lost time, probably never to be repeated. Shame really.

[ScottfromTexas]

@blagger56 - read the Fable of the Ducks and Hens.

[curtisjaylol]

I used to watch the good life when i was little

[fourthwind1]

wheres the ones with felicity in tight tops?

[IkeDyson]

@fourthwind1

Sod her tops! I want to see her in tight JEANS. Remember when she was voted Britain's Best Bum?

[MickeyLove01]

Ms Kendal turned jew...

[cocodonia]

Richard Briers(Tom) & my Dad were separated at birth I am sure of it, they look alike and sound alike, i joke with Dad about this alot . Think it annoys him.

[Littletink02]

I did recognize her when I saw her as Sir's wife.

[psmoye]

It was actually Moyra Fraser (who plays "sir's" wife who was in "As Time Goes By". She played Aunt Penny.

[Littletink02]

Are you sure Felicity was in As Time Goes By???? I watch it all the time on public broadcasting and have never seen Felicity. She is a lovely lady.

[wanderliscious]

'Felicity' is the name of the character (Sirs wife), played by Moyra

Fraser. Confusing, I know

[dharmaseed]

God, I loved Moyra Fraser. Why wasn't she in later episodes?

[Doitonhigh]

great show

[ORCA4312]

Oh, I used to LOVE this show.

Well,actually, I had a HUGE crush on Felicity Kendall. Wow. Very tasty.

Very good show altogether, though.

[dharmaseed]

Thank you! Her acting is wonderful!!!

[oldstuffandcollect]

i love the good life so much a great series thankyou for showing great stuff

[Lacitsym2]

I absolutely love this show. =]

[TheWithnail]

its sad that there are no shows like this around these days.

[SPAG22]

It's hard to imagine there was a time when people tuned in to the latest episode of the Good Life, Yes Minister, Dads Army or went to see the latest Hitchcock film.

[samsagitarias]

Thats very true. There is the odd gem now and again, such as The Vicar of Dibley, but by and large, there's not shows like this. Remember, this was before the advent of Sky - only had 3 channels to choose from at this time, and I think that it is fairly safe to say that we seem to have forgone quality for quantity. Loved this - such a funny genlte series.

[ScottfromTexas]

@TheWithnail - indeed.

[KONAretro]

"HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA" Felicity Kendal is a FOX.

[MOLLY87654]

Its sad the way Paul Eddington died of a very rare form of skin cancer

[dharmaseed]

6:28 to 6:38 was hilarious. It's a shame they didn't have Felicity in later episodes.

[denboy300]

Hi, Felicity Kendal is in all 30 episodes. Same as the other three leads.

[dharmaseed]

Felicity, played by Moyra Fraser, was the actress who played 'Sir's wife. She was singing with Richard Briers at 6:28.

[ryanbelknap]

I agree, I loved it!

[Technilady]

She was also in As Time Goes By with Judy Dench and Geoffrey Palmer in the 1990s.

[MissHoov]

Great show! Paul Eddington played a great "whipped" husband before he was "the Minister." I actually never really cared for Richard Briers, but the other regulars are outstanding.

[sarahnewt]

did I say b4? - 'The good life Royal variety performance' should get it for you... (;-}

[frankbough1955]

felicity milf

[mahound9]

I think not.

[555VisitorX]

Thank you so much for all the work that must have gone into putting the entire series up on YouTube. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed every episode!

[sugarissweetandsoami]

i love this so much

[starsstanley99]

great show!

[CHFCooper]

Why on eath Fatima? At least she keeps her continuity!

[IluvMH]

I know, i've always wondered why Fatima, and i've always thought that i missing out on some joke as , like you said, she keeps her continuity. Is it just random?

Fab show thought :P

[mahound9]

It's revealed in the season finale why Andy keeps calling Barbara "Fatima". (He's always known her real name)
