The last two original BBC Television episodes of the much-loved classic sitcom starring Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Paul Eddington and Penelope Keith. Tom, Barbara, Jerry and Margo return in the last two episodes ever made: the Christmas special "Silly, But It's Fun" and the Royal Command Performance episode, "When I'm 65". "Silly, But It's Fun" (26 December 1977) - The Goods are getting into the spirit....
of Christmas: they have newspaper paperchains up in the pigsty and Tom's managed to get hold of a Christmas tree. Well, part of one. Margo, however, is having a crisis: her Christmas tree is six-and-a-quarter inches too short. Christmas is cancelled for the Leadbeatters.
But can Margo get into the silly spirit at Tom and Barbara's house instead?
"When I'm 65" (10 June 1978) - Jerry, now an International Executive, has had a medical - but he's not as healthy as he thought he was. After too much ribbing from Tom, there's only one way to find out who's the fittest man...It's the rat-race versus self-sufficiency in this last ever episode of "The Good Life", which was specially filmed at the BBC Television Centre in front of Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. It includes linking narration to these TV soundtracks by Penelope Keith.
