I knew this would be coming up, and this meant classic episodes of The Good Life. Excellent! The one shown was called "The WindBreak War", and is about Tom, Barbara and Margo arguing about a windbreak being put up in Margo's garden. The four (including Jerry) get drunk, and Jerry admitting he fancies Barbara, Tom falling off the arm of the chair and other craziness ensues! Hilarious! This episode is in three parts on youtube. Put "The Good Life The windbreak war" into the search bar.
Richard Briers and John Thaw were great friends, as well as both great actors. I learned one thing about both of them. They were known for TV, but I knew less about their theatre careers. Both men had a wide-ranging canon of stage work under their belts, and not just Shakespeare.
