Welcome back to The Worms That Turned, and part two of our deep dive into The Good Life.

In this episode, we decide whether The Good Life belongs in the Comedy Hall of Fame or on the Compost Heap of Comedy History.

Are Tom and Barbara the perfect prototype eco-friendly couple, or insufferably smug, middle-class boomers playing at being poor? You’ll have to listen to the end to find out!

Plus, in a special bonus debate, we judge which was the better time to be alive – 1975 or 2025!

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH..!

Welcome to The Worms That Turned!

This week we’ll be planting our own potatoes and making our own fertilizer as we dig down into the rich soil of The Good Life, a much-loved 1970s sitcom about a couple’s attempt to drop out of the corporate rat race and lead an autonomous, self-sufficient lifestyle.

In this episode, we too yearn for a simpler, mortgage-free life of a suburban smallholder, free from commuting and consumerism, with only our root vegetables and fruity wife for company. Or are we also having a belated mid-life crisis?

Join us while we discuss the original eco-warriors, Tom and Barbara Good, and decide whether we love their free-spirited, frivolous nature or hate them for somehow being able to pay off the mortgage on their large, detached London home before Tom’s 40th birthday.

Welcome back to LE WURMS WAT TUNED!

You may be wondering why I have a painting of nude lady hidden in a large sausage, why there is so much wet celery lying about the place, and why I have a cuckoo clock shoved down my trousers.

That recap can only mean one thing… we’re still talking about the classic BBC TV sitcom, ‘Allo, ‘Allo!

In this episode, we decide whether ‘Allo, ‘Allo! belongs in the Comedy Hall of Fame or the Dustbin of Comedy History, and more to the point, is René a despicable wartime collaborator or selfless hero of the French Resistance?
