Absolutely love Richard Briers. Not only a fantastic comedy actor, but he was known for being incredibly generous and kind. He also did a fantastic dramatic turn in Inspector Morse.
I knew instantly I would like this! Sarcastic humorous shots all the way through! Thanks Arch! 👍. Don’t listen to any negative comments please. I want more of this! ❤️
I like Front & I enjoyed this vm! The only thing that didnt sit well w/me was the age of the character. I mean he's "middle aged" if his life expectancy is 140. LOL Tysm Archie B.! We all could use more comedy. Laughter scares germs yall! (]8
Many thanks! Always liked some of BBC's radio drama and comedy. Middle class navel-gazing was one of the things that turned me away from Auntie but it was well written and performed.
As a kid, I remember looking forward to The Good Life every week on TV. Truth be told, it was probably to drool over Felicity Kendal, but the whole cast was brilliant. I don’t know how she put up with RB. She was the woman you dreamed was your neighbor. An expat in S Florida.
Never have acquired a taste for Briers. But the upload is much appreciated none the less. That opening music. I know it. I’ve heard it many times before. But it’s been quite some time. It’s from one of the comedy programs but I’m at a loss as to which one. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks in advance.
Is that Rebecca Front we can hear? Love the Fronts, talented duo! I’m not a fan of snapping-stuttery Briers at all, that plummy pompous accent is really dated now.
Me too - Richard Briars. Annoys the sh*t out of me. I tried to ignore the fact it's him and get involved ; BUT , everytime i hear his irritating self assured, rapid-fire, arrogant bumbling rhetoric, I'm so distracted by my general dislike of the man , I forget what I'm listening to. I cant listen to this Arch - but I know you understand ha ha* Richard Briars is like "listening to paint dry."
@@flotinaway7 - yeah ; but look at the rest of the cast in Good Life ; all superb. + the fanciable aspect of Felicity Kendall - even as a little boy I thought her compellingly attractive ha ha.
Richard Briars - 1970's tv comedy actor. His general character - dissatisfied grumbly sexist who always has to try tooo hard but dithers through petty trials and tribulations. Hancock stylie - assuming you know how irritating Tony Hancock is/was - possibly not. Well worth listening to Hancock's Half Hour -once- as a challenge to gauge how much inane humourless drivel you can sustain before destroying something* - ps : It's repeated endlessly on BBC Radio 4Extra if you fancy ruining your pleasant frame of mind for "a laugh."
You can't go wrong with Richard Briers. Excellent. Thank you "Arch" ❤
Radio tells a better story than a film because it allows for a greater imagination by the listener.
Absolutely love Richard Briers. Not only a fantastic comedy actor, but he was known for being incredibly generous and kind. He also did a fantastic dramatic turn in Inspector Morse.
Love Richard Briers, always makes me feel snuggy n cosy!
A VERY GOOD SCRIPT. A LESSON TO BE HAD. RECORD EVERYTHING. WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN EITHER DIRECTION.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😊! Love to smile and laugh out loud, and Richard Brier was fabulous at comedy theatre, and doesn’t disappoint in this production!

Brilliant can you please get more of this I loved it thanks arch

Thanks, Arch!
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Brilliant!! love Richard Briers. More of this thanks 😂

I loved Penelope Keith in this and, of course, Paul Eddington - it was a brilliant series.
Great play
Late in the day, thank you for the upload, I so curious what it is that you don’t like about Richard Briers😀
What is it you don't like about Briers Arch?

Bodegabreath 558 I think it’s from The Italian Girl in Algiers by Rossini.
Susan Ruiz
Could very well be. But if so, it’s also from a TV British comedy series. I’ve never heard of the Rossini work. My loss. Thank you.
Clockwork orange used it
Thank you!
I find Briers extreemly irritating but it's hard to actually dislike him.
It's the irritation in spite of oneself that makes it funny.
Very entertaining 😁
Loved this more please and many thanks xxxx
Love Richard B...loathe & despise Arch S's disrespect of him.
Is that Rebecca Front we can hear? Love the Fronts, talented duo! I’m not a fan of snapping-stuttery Briers at all, that plummy pompous accent is really dated now.
Slightly mean comment, Richard Briers was a national treasure, his accent was of it's time
Agree about Briers. Rebecca Front is terrific, didn’t think about a Mr Front.
Having said that I loved this play. 🙂
Oh dear! Predictable. I could have paraphrased the script im advance. Typical bldy Briers.

Who is Richard Bries and why is he so divisive? These comments are a trip. 🙃

I adore Richard Briers. I didn't like the material.
You've just blundered into Piers Morgan territory: dislike Richard Briers...... I'm too distressed to even unsubscribe you! 🛌😨
I think Richard Briers saved it. Pointless, unfunny, one-dimensional.
.....I guess I didn't like it. ;)
As the insightful play puts on full display, one man’s meat is another man’s poison! I loved it!
Yeah . Typical Jeremy Front .
Painfully unfunny . ! How on earth he has been commissioned so many times by the BBC is a mystery.
Utter crap.
WTF wrote this so called script.
How on earth was this ever recorded.
I feel I should like Briers for the Good Life but they weren't the stars of that. He was v one dimensional. Thanks Archie
He isn't/ wasn't ' one dimensional ' ....eg The Master in Morse ...and The evil priest in Midsommer ....
Wonderful. Richard Briers turns everything he touches into gold.
