Giles And Sue Live The Good Life

"It's the 30th anniversary of iconic sitcom The Good Life this year, and in homage to Tom and Barbara Good, Giles Coren and Sue Perkins are going to attempt to live self-sufficiently in the suburbs over the summer, for a four-part series on BBC2 this autumn, to discover whether living off grid is really possible to achieve in modern Britain. In the roles of Tom and Barbara, Giles and Sue will move into their 70s-themed surburban semi to find a larder of very basic ingredients, cash on the kitchen table to purchase livestock, an empty greenhouse and a fully turfed lawn. Over the next three months, just like the Goods, they will need to produce their own food, brew their own beer, rear some chickens and attempt to make their own clothes, all using the resources of this little house on the outskirts of London. This book will capture all the warmth and humour of the show with first-person commentary from Giles and Sue, but will also be packed with practical information, and helpful hints and tips from this genuinely valuable exercise. Giles and Sue Live The Good Life will be an inspirational new handbook for eco living. If they can do it, you can too."
