I'm rewatching The Good Life...

...And remembering how much I bloody love Margot. She was such a great friend to the Goods - they turn up for dinner (am convinced she kept having dinner parties for them because she was worried about them not getting enough to eat) in a low mood, and she immediately offers them her (Jerry's, as he points out) cheque book, and then to look after their "grubby animals" so they can have a weekend away - despite it being the last thing she wants to do.

We should all be so lucky to have a Margot Leadbetter in our lives.

I love Margot too. Kind to the end despite herself.

"Margot...I don't think that goat actually wants it's horns polishing."

"And I told you, Jerry, that goat will have it's horns polished whether it likes it or not."

To think we laughed at her Christmas being delivered in a van.

I’d kill for her wardrobe.

I'm not tall or slim enough to carry off her wardrobe; I'd look like I was drowning in bedsheets.

Oh I loved them all. Where are you watching it?

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 27/02/2018 21:35

Gold. DH is away for the night so I get to watch what I want and cook what I like (I made an amazing risotto, if I do say so myself).

I get told I have hints of Margot in my behaviours which amuses me greatly. Oh her and a bit of Pam from Gavin and Stacey haha! I love Margot. Yuletide Felicitations never ceases to cheer me up

I love it, I've got the whole set of dvds, the whole lot on sky recorded and I watch it whenever it's on gold!!

My people! "Dishwashy dishwashy?"

I love watching TGL. I love them all 4 characters.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this year's ago. That episode where Margo was appearing in a production of Sound of Music! Grin

Years, not year's!
