In "Going to Pot" Tom and Barbara attend night school to learn some essential home repair skills and enroll in pottery and weaving classes as well. When Tom is a flop in his weaving class and Barbara proves equally inept in pottery, they trade classes and soon discover that Tom is a gifted potter. As Tom's crockery becomes more and more popular and in demand by paying customers, he and Barbara begin to stray from their self-sufficient lifestyle and to succumb to the allure of a steady income.
The Goods' sow Perky finally delivers her litter in "The Happy Event". One of the piglets, unfortunately, is a runt, and when Tom's iron rule of efficiency condemns it to an early death Barbara draws the line and forces him to reassess his values. With the Ledbetters in tow the race is on to save the runt before time runs out.
Tom's attitudes are again called into question in "The Last Posh Frock". In this episode Barbara tears her last nice dress, and an unsympathetic Tom has her questioning her feminine role in the perpetually practical life the Goods have chosen. When Jerry finally sets Tom right on the importance of an impractical feminine extra or two in Barbara's life, Tom comes through in a style reminiscent of "The Gift of the Magi".
As with the previous offerings, these episodes are a video treat.
Sadly, for some reason known only to the BBC, the episodes of this wonderful show have been released in a seemingly random order. Still, this show is so good, that it is better to have them this way than not at all! This tape contains three, half-hour episodes.
Going to Pot - Series 2, episode 14 (January 23, 1976) - Tom and Barbara realize that night school can broaden their range of talents, but will night school survive them?
The Happy Event - Series 3, episode 16 (September 17, 1976) - When the day approaches for the Good's pig to litter, the Leadbetters find themselves pulled into the hubbub.
The Last Posh Frock - Series 3, episode 21 (October 22, 1976) - When Barbara decides that she needs to feel more feminine, she digs out her last nice dress. However, when she tears it, and worse, when Tom refuses to see anything particularly feminine about her all hell breaks lose!
