Barney and Cathy. Evan and Fiona. David and Alice. Three couples who have beaten the odds and stayed married - but is that simply because they haven’t got around to divorcing yet? In these three series, we follow this group of friends throughout weekends away and tricky date nights, weddings and funerals, Christmas celebrations and counselling sessions - all of which give them plenty of opportunity for flirting, fighting, competitiveness and reprehensible behaviour. We listen in to their innermost thoughts, feelings and motivations as they break the fourth wall.

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.

This is one of my top ten favorite Britcoms and I was so happy to see it in Audible. I love that it’s audio of the show and BONUS JONAS Penelope Keith describes visuals when necessary. What a treat to listen to at work! 👏🏼👏🏼😊

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.

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.

One of the best things I’ve bought on audible to date. It made me laugh out loud. It is the same as the TV series so I had heard the stories/ plots before, but not since I was a teenager and I really enjoyed listening to it all again. Highly recommended if you loved the show.

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.
