In celebration of ‘The Good Life’s 35th birthday, Giles Coren and Sue Perkins are stepping back in time to 1975 to try living the Good Life for real. Taking up residence in an ordinary suburban street and, inspiring themselves with clips of classic archive, Giles and Sue are going to try and recreate Tom and Barbara’s world – from growing leeks in the front garden to grazing goats in the local park, weaving cloth for their own clothes and building a methane generator to power their electricity. They’ll seek advice from experts when needed, but much of the time they’ll be trying to find their own answers to everything from carrot blight to how to treat a constipated pig.
