Living the good Life........

[Pumpkin Becki]

PB you can watch it here on iplayer :-

Giles_and_Sue_Live_the_Good_Life

Unfortunately my lappie doesn't like iplayer for some reason Bren . Nevermind, I think I got the jist of it from everyones comments

[Headfry]

Sorry folks, I did not like it at all - the woman drove me nuts. Huge fan of the original Good Life so maybe that would explain my dislike of the 'new' program.

[winstonwobble]

well i thought it was hillarious just like me and my OH when we're in the garden

[chris]

That bloke is a bit of a drip? - Watched half of it last night.. I did chuckle at the seed catalogue jokes as that's probably (well, is) something I'd make jokes out of.

Will watch the rest of it later today

[chris]

Making that cheese seemed increbily simple! I can't believe a goat can produce 8pints of milk a day!!

[binley100]

Well they are a sort of animal dustbin so it's all got to be put to use somehow ..........

[Alison]

The thing is that it's not meant to be a remake or anything of the original, just a hummorous look at what would be feasible. I liked the tongue in cheek-ness of it all

[Hilary B]

Yep, some goats will give a gallon a day for about 6 weeks at peak production, and average comfortably in excess of 4 pints over most of a year from kidding, if handled to ideal.
Mine rarely gave much over 4 pints at peak, which lasted most of the summer, and tailed off to half that later on, but then milking time wasn't always exactly 12 hours apart, and they were not 'gallon a day' stock anyway.
It's hard work keeping goats in full production!

I watched it at lunch time, today. I enjoyed most of it, but couldn't see the point of the Margot and Jerry 'interludes'

Giles is a bit of a plonker, but, I'm ashamed to admit, quite cute needs a shave though!

[broadway]

Just watched it and thought it was just what it was meant to be, a laugh.

I've watched Giles and Sue in the supersizers series which was amusing as well.

[Gearoid]

I enjoyed this show. It could do with a bit more info about what they plant though. It all seemed to be happening in the background.

[Liza]

I liked it, spesh the bread making

[Hilary B]

I've finally seen a trailer for this, from which (verly limited) view, it looks like a gentle send-up of the idea....
Nowt wrong with that, as long as it doesn't set too many dreamers off on a course they can't stick to!

[Snadger]

I won't watch it because of Giles Coren. He writes in my paper, he's an annoying little twerp in print: I can't watch him moving & talking, I'd shoot the telly

Get OH to get you a polystyrene brick for crimbo!lol

[Snadger]

Just watched it on iplayer.

Twas ok but is there anybody truly as wussy as that guy?
