Self-sufficiency? In suburbia? You must be joking!

Good Neighbors is considered one of Britain's finest sitcoms by critics and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, counting among its fans none other than the Queen herself. This set contains the entire fourth series as well as the 1978 Royal Command Performance.

When Tom Good decided to give up the rat race to try his hand at self-sufficiency, no one was more surprised than his snobbish friends next door, Jerry and Margo Leadbetter. But Tom's wife, Barbara, eagerly joined him in his crusade, and soon pigs and chickens became the newest residents of stuffy Surbiton. By the fourth series, Tom and Barbara seem to have gotten the hang of their new lifestyle, and Margo and Jerry may have finally accepted that the goat and vegetable plot are here to stay.

Includes the episodes: Away from It All , The Green Door, Our Speaker Today, The Weaver's Tale, Suit Yourself , Sweet and Sour Charity, Anniversary, plus the 1978 Royal Command Performance When I'm 65.

Away From it All - When the Goods leave for a much needed holiday in Mayfair, the Leadbetters take over their house and garden. Is this such a good idea?

The Green Door - When Margo sneaks uptown and enters a mysterious green door, did the Goods see something they weren't supposed to see?

Our Speaker Today - Barbara discovers a natural speaking talent, leaving Tom home alone. Margo simply seethes with jealousy.

The Weaver's Tale - Tom blows some cash on a loom so he and Barbara can make their own clothes. Jerry learns that he has a chance to become the new Managing Director.

Suit Yourself - The Goods find new ways to put their loom to good use while Jerry's battle for the directorship enters full swing.

Sweet and Sour Charity
- Tom schemes about oil. Jerry schemes about the open directorship. Margo holds to her morals concerning a musical play she considers smutty.

Anniversary - Two years have now passed since the Goods became self-sufficient. Jerry still awaits Sir's decision on who will succeed him at JJM.

When I'm 65 - The Good Life Royal Special  - When Jerry takes out yet another endowment policy, the Goods begin to have misgivings about their old age plans.
