A Celebration of the Good Life,
By
This review is from: The Good Life (Paperback)
If you can see the detail of the tiny photo of the book cover on this page, you will see that the title is A Celebration of the Good Life by Richard Webber with John Esmonde and Bob Larbey. The Good Life is the British title of the show that we know in America as Good Neighbors.
Fans of the series will love this book. It is a slightly oversized paperback, and the quality is good, with slick pages and dozens of photos throughout. It includes a history of the series, profiles of the main actors, an episode guide, and interviews with those who were there for the different stages of making the show. There are even sidebars with people only marginally connected with the show. For instance, Peter Bowles recalls being asked to play the role of Jerry, but he was in an Alan Ayckbourn play at the time and turned it down. The only thing missing from the book is a complete transcript of each episode, which would be nice for those of us who sometimes miss references to things peculiarly British. So I am making notes in my copy. We've deciphered Duncan Sandys, Blue Peter, The Lilac Domino, Acker Bilk, the Magic Roundabout, Wedgie Benn and now know who or what they are. This would be a terrific gift for anyone who likes Good Neighbors, but order early, because you will probably have to order from the U.K. site.
