This is one of the smartest comedies I've ever seen -- British or American. The writers are simply brilliant, and their scripts received first rate performances by every member of the cast.
Heh, there's a slum on the outskirts of Cape Town called Delft! Thanks for these videos, Ouijabird. I never heard of this show until I moved to America in the 1980s, where I enjoyed it on my local PBS channel.
During the thunderstorm scene in the musical, Maria sings the Lonely Goatherd to calm the children. She only sings My Favorite Things in that scene in the film only.
@youtubinaway In an earlier episode, Tom and Barbara were talking about free food, to which Tom stated that he had driven off by the golf course with a whole gallery of rabbits watching him ("they're all dinners" and "they're not cheap, they're free"), and that next time he went he "wouldn't take a 9-iron, he'd take a twelve bore".

And so telling of our times
Penelope Keith acting as a bad actor is wonderful
Great British series ever made.
Well, thank you very much, Jerry.
Wow, I thought I'd seen every episode, I used to watch it all the time years ago... but I don't remember this one! thanks!
Love this show. Funny, adult, non-destructive. Wish I could talk like Barbara. Or even think that fast.
Wish I could speak like Margot! Specifically, being able to put people down in such a calm and non-intrusive way.
yey nothin like watchin these back to back

So just part 1 of lots of different Good Life episodes? BBC scheme to get folk to buy the box set? Margot-a-go-go!
Fawlty Towers...
not "Forty"
Would love Margo completely if she wasn't a Tory!
@youtubinaway
to harvest wild meat. tasty stuff.
I know I'm not alone in thinking how nice it would have been to have a bit with Barbara, but I'd have had a good go on Margo too.
Simon Wolfendale you’re a pervert that’s why
Tom is a abusive towards Barbara don't like it
