I didn't realise that the pair of houses used for filming the Good Life were just round the corner from Mount Vernon in Northwood !

RIP

Kewferry Road or Drive wasn't it (and not Surbiton!)

They were brave householders allowing them to rotivate the garden

That's it, up Ducks Hill to the end, turn right and it's either first or second on the left.

That's weird, why to TV people do that? If it was set in Surbiton, why not film in Surbiton?

A year or so ago I saw a small bit of the filthy "comedy" Inbetweeners. They were supposed to be in Swanage - but they were quite clearly in Littlehampton.

It was kewferry Road Northwwood my sister in law lives a few doors away, one of the houses was badly damaged by fire some years ago, There was a program on the TV last year about the series, one of the occupants who live there now still has people knocking on her door asking if it was her house that the Goods lived in, she is still happy to answer there questions after all these years, how nice!

Yes I remember that episode well Jon and it was definately filmed in Littlehampton, perhaps appropriate given the content :lol:

Always sorry to see a fine actor pass away but I was never a huge fan of Richard Briars, I just found him mildly amusing. Then again I watched the Good Life for the same reason I watched Rosemary & Thyme.......Felicity Kendall. Mmmm.
