In !975 a new sitcom introduced viewers to the self-sufficient world of Tom and Barbara Good, who had a smallholding in their suburban back garden, much to the horror of the upwardly mobile Leadbetters next door. This documentary reveals all about the show created by Bob Larbey and John Esmonde, from the perils of filming knee-deep in mud to the ultimate accolade of performing live in front of the Queen at Television Centre. Contributors include stars Richard Briers and Penelope Keith, as well as Monty Don, Brian Sewell and John O'Farrell
