    5.0 out of 5 stars Guaranteed to make you laugh out loud!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2003
    Verified Purchase
    This DVD is actually titled "The Classic Episodes" and contains exactly what it says on the box!
    It has 3 episodes (Backs To The Wall & The Wind-Break War & Silly, But It's Fun), scene selection, an interview with the writer Bob Larbey, production notes and filmographies. The latter items are the same as the ones on the Series 4 DVD.

    Backs To The Wall
    It's time for Tom and Barbara's harvest and Margo and Jerry are off to 'Keenya' on safari. But Tom hurts his back and Barbara is left to do all the work, but then help appears - although limping!
    * Some lovely poingant moments in this episode amid the usual chaos that is the life of the Good's. Classic moments include Margo helping with the harvest and Barbara tempting Tom when he's in too much pain to do anything about it!
    The Wind-Break War
    Margo has planned an arbour in the back garden which requires a wind-break to be erected. This means that the Good's fruit will get no sun and an argument and mix-ups ensue not helped by the gardener! They eventually make-up and a very enjoyable (for the audience!) evening follows fuelled by the famous pea-pod burgandy!
    *This has to be my all time favourite episode and some of the lines have me in stitches. This is always remembered as the episode when they all get drunk and Jerry admits his feelings for Barbara.."It brings out the beast in me!" and Tom comforts Margo when she admits she has no sense of humour..."Don't worry Margo - I'll go and find you one!" Paul Eddington has a wonderful time and some of the best lines as stressed out Jerry and defends Margo very gallantly! Brilliant, Brilliant episode evidently enjoyed by the cast as much as anyone!
    Silly, But It's Fun
    Margo's christmas is due to arrive in a van, but the 9ft tree isn't, and so the whole lot gets sent back -along with a very perceptive delivery driver- and the new lot never arrives. So naturally Jerry gets political chicken-pox and Margo feels christmas "hasn't come to this house...". Jerry is looking forward to a nice quiet christmas with just the two of them until he realises there's not enough alcohol or food! Tom and Barbara have planned a simple self-sufficient christmas and so invite Jerry and Margo over to join in and, after Tom 'persuading' Margo to join in with the games and sprirt of the thing, they all agree it has been the best christmas ever.
    * Another wonderful episode, with Margo's social standing and idea's taking another battering thanks to the 'working class'and the Good's idea of a good time! Some great moments include the delivery man's observation's (especially the one about Barbara's eyes!)the home-made crackers (and paper-hats!), anytime a piece of mistletoe appears!, Barbara's bird model, and present giving time.
    All in all this is an essential piece of kit for a DVD owning fan of 'The Good Life' or for someone who is new to the show. Also good for anyone who needs cheering up or a satisfying laugh out loud - Enjoy!:)

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great product, but be careful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2018
    Verified Purchase
    A great product, but be careful. If you have the first four series, the episodes on this DVD are taken from them so they are repeats. There is a good interview with Bob Larbey, which made it worthwhile the purchase, but we had the episodes on previous DVD's.

    One of the best comedy shows ever. And while this is a good compilation, you should do yourself a favour and watch the complete series instead.

    5.0 out of 5 stars MORE CLASSIC COMEDY
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2004
    This DVD is a must have for any serious fan of this popular and enduring Britcom! In fact, you will need to buy this DVD in order to complete your collection, even if you have Series 1-4. But it is definitely worth it! The audio and the video are excellent! This classic never gets old!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Old British Laughs -
    Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2007
    Verified Purchase
    A charming, quirky comedy - still fresh - built on the absurdities of male/female relationships and British class distinctions. Beautifully written, played out with lovely timing, this is a sweet vacation into a slightly off-register world. This comedy spares us from the vulgar excesses of much British humor, and makes an affectionate study of its characters and our own natures. Intelligently funny. A delight from beginning to end. It's got me thinking about raising some carrots, myself.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Neighbors Royal Command Performance Review
    Reviewed in the United States on 14 May 2002
    Verified Purchase
    The Good Neighbors Royal Command Performance was very exciting especially to see the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh greeting the cast and staff on the Good Life soundstage in 1977. The episode "When Iam 65" did not have original sparkle of before scripts. The cast was brillant but the writing went flat. It seems there were long pauses between lines. It seems it ran out of steam and to call it quits. Seeing the BBC studio was a surprising treat and to actually see the writers and directors of the show...Richard Briers does an intro and is brillant. Penelope Keith, Felicity Kendal and Paul Eddington were were bang on....
