The Good Life: Series 4 Episode 6 (Part 1 of 3)

*Sweet and Sour Charity*

Margo's music society are planning to put on a new production. Margo wants them to do "The Merry Widow", but everyone else votes for "Sweet Charity". Margo is appalled. She thinks that the musical in question is "smutty". She objects to dressing up like a "tart".

Tom discovers that his neighbour has moved and left a large tank half full of heating oil. He wants to swap the oil for some straw. It looks as if someone else is taking the oil. By the time he manages to contact the former owner and get permission to take the oil, the tank is empty. Then Tom discovers that the tank is leaking. The oil has seeped away into the soil in the Goods' garden, polluting it.

I knew there was a bit missing!! when Tom and Barbera are getting ready to leave Margo and Jerry's kitchen with the newspapers Margo asks them what the papers are for and when they tell her she goes over to the stack and pulls out a few saying that the Queen 's picture is in them lol wonder why it's not here?

I have a vague memory of when Tom and Barbara are leaving Margo and Jerry's kitchen Barbara reaches for the stack of newspapers on the counter and Margo asks if they're for the pigs, Barbara says yes and Margo goes over to the pile and removes some of the papers, ones with the Queen on them I believe. Does anyone else remember that?

@nauvai you show a distinct lack of imagination :)

[nauvai]

I love this...at least these shows have some meaning and wittiness about them, noe like the shows of 2000's...all about sex which is CRAP!

Coldcre, your comment is lacking normality, GET A LIFE!
