Neighbours

[Ash Armstrong]

That is The Good Life as it was known in England and Australia. About a couple of self sufficient hippies livin' next to their upright posh neighbours. All 4 actors world class. Possibly one of the best sitcoms ever filmed. Up there with Fawlty Towers.

😎 nice sunglasses btw. Know you're only kiddin' around. Just saw the flower in the bottom right corner.


Now with Amazon money maybe Guy Pierce, Margot Robbie and Chris Hemsworth will return. Heeheee.

Neighbours/Rings of Power mash-up?

Most male viewers of a certain vintage tended to focus on Felicity Kendall's bum during episodes of The Good Life. I confess I was one of those ...

When I left my proper job a decade back I found Mrs Relayer who works from home, watched it while having her lunch. I hadn't seen it for years. We fell into watching together. We still do.

I'm not about to claim it's great - it is what it is and it's the only soap we watch. We're both ridiculously attached to it and it's really going to leave a hole in our day.

Sad.

Less sad now.

Despite all the years it's been running, I don't think I've ever watched it, though I could hum the theme tune. Never seen Home or Away either. Brian Johnston, the late cricket commentator, was a big fan of Neighbours apparently. Probably something to do with the bowler's Holding the batsman's Willey... Used to watch Prisoner: Cell Block H back in the 80s after we got back from the pub, it was so awful it was hilarious!
