Just a reminder that "Giles and Sue Live The Good Life" starts on 8th November 9pm BBC2.
Writer Giles Coren and comedienne Sue Perkins celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Good Life, the British sitcom in which a couple escaped the rat race to pursue a life of self-sufficiency, by learning some of the skills and techniques employed by Tom and Barbara Good (Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal). Stepping back in time to 1975, Giles and Sue begin by finding out how to light a solid fuel range, sow seeds and receive a crash-course in milking and bread-making.
I loved the other series they've done so I'm really looking forward to this one.

There's also a book to accompany the series, I think that may go on my Christmas list. :D

    Just a quick bump to remind everyone that this is on tonight BBC2 9pm.

    Bloody typical, this is on at exactly the same time as the final episode of Spooks and the concluding part of The Little House! :mad: Might watch The Little House and then watch Giles & Sue and Spooks on iplayer.
