Barbara Pym is one of the 20th-century's wittiest, and most underrated, novelists. Her perceptive comedies of manners, centred around the domestic lives and loves of unassuming middle-class Englishwomen, won her many devoted readers and saw her hailed as a modern-day Jane Austen. Yet she spent 15 years out of print in the 1960s and '70s, until Philip Larkin championed her work in the Times Literary Supplement. Her seventh novel was subsequently shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and writers from Jilly Cooper to Alexander McCall Smith continue to laud her talent today.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

It’s the TV
This is literally the audio from the TV shows, with Penelope Keith (Margo) adding some voice-over to describe some on screen events so you know what’s happening.
An enjoyable result if not quite what I was expecting.

Great old British TV Show
First of all, you should be aware that this is the audio track of the television series with minimal added narration. I saw the original series when it came out, so I can visualize the characters well. However, those unfamiliar with the TV show must make allowances. The show hilariously exploits the culture clash between the back-to-the-land couple and their "I'll have a cocktail now" neighbors. It is a good show to hear if you have ever thought about "going off the grid", as it is now known.

Hilarious and great fun
BBC comedy at its best. This is basically a recording of the TV series with some narration to fill in the gaps from not having the visuals. So occasionally you loose some context, but still very easy to follow.

A walk down memory lane
I remember, vividly, watching the Goods go about their self sufficiency life style with Geraldine the Goat and Lenin the wandering cockerel and a pink pigsty. Margo’s frequent shocks at what she saw and her cries of Jerry! This collection has been a wonderful walk down memory lane and a reminder of what good quality entertainment is all about. It’s also a reminder about being friends regardless of your differences.

First class entertainment
This is a memorable collection of 'The Good Life' television series episodes. Unfortunately, much of the humour is visual and is therefore difficult to imagine from 'noises off'. Using Penelope Keith as the narrator is a mistake quite apart from the fact that in many instances her voice can't be heard over the noises she is attempting to describe. As one of the main characters (which she performs exceptionally well), it's inappropriate and confusing to also use her as the narrator. Her upper-class British accent doesn't lend itself well to voice-overs even though it's excellent when in character.
The entire 14 hours is a feast of the best British entertainment.

Wonderful Series Presented As A Radio Play
A great laugh and walk down memory lane. Penelope Keith does a wonderful job adding narration to the visual gags.
