The Good Life

Christmas at the Leadbetters' has been abruptly cancelled, which is exactly the sort of crisis Tom and Barbara cannot resist. Cue an invitation round to theirs for a home-grown, self-sufficient Christmas, with home-made everything, a lot of enthusiasm from the Goods and Margo doing her very best to look delighted about it all. Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith and Paul Eddington are on sparkling form in this half-hour seasonal special from 1977. Pour something cheap and cheerful, ignore the sprouts, and watch two households politely try not to out-Christmas each other.
