Giles And Sue Live The Good Life

Celebrating the 35th anniversary of the classic ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ comedy The Good Life, Giles Coren and Sue Perkins step back in time to 1975 to try their hand at becoming self-sufficient and see if it really is possible to live "the good life".

When the classic sitcom first hit British screens, self sufficiency was the goal of an eccentric few. Fast forward 35 years and Tom and Barbara Good's determination to grow their own and conserve energy has never seemed so fashionable.

Inspiring themselves with archive clips of the comedy, Giles and Sue try to recreate the Good's world in an ordinary suburban street – from growing vegetables in the garden and grazing goats in the local park, to building a methane generator to supply their electricity.

While seeking advice from experts when needed, most of the time the intrepid couple will try to find their own answers to everything from dealing with carrot blight to how to treat a constipated pig.

But it's not all wellies and manure. Just as neighbours Margo and Jerry's affluent consumerism provided the perfect foil to their neighbour's earnest experiment in self-sufficiency, Sue and Giles get the opportunity to try out a more mainstream Seventies lifestyle in an attempt to understand just what it was that the Goods were kicking against.

A Farmer's Life For Me

Self-taught pig farmer Jimmy Doherty presents a brand new series in which nine couples who dream of living off the land find out exactly what it takes to run a successful farm, as they compete to make their dream a reality by winning their own small holding for a year, rent free.

For many people the idea of ditching the daily office grind to live on a countryside farm sounds like living the good life. But far from being a rural idyll, farming can be a tough business as the couples soon discover.

Living together on a farm in Suffolk, there will be plenty of mud and mishaps as, guided by Jimmy and a team of experts, the couples undergo a range of farming challenges, learning the practical and business skills needed to run a successful farm, from breeding livestock to creating and marketing their own produce.

The couples will then contend to be the best in their field as they put their new found skills to the test, with Jimmy ultimately deciding who must return home and who is still in with a chance of winning the opportunity of a lifetime.
