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.

If you like the TV show…
If you enjoyed the TV show you will probably enjoy this - with Penelope Keith adding some helpful narration when it fails to translate well to audio only…

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.
