Synopsis
Pollution, crime, crowds and grime – for city dwellers the temptation to exchange the daily grind for country living is great. The Good Life follows four couples who have headed for the hills only to find the countryside grass seemed much greener through the city’s smog. Murray and Helen found the peace they sought, but when illness struck they found the isolation and lack of support systems were major drawbacks. Former computing manager Roger learnt that his executive diplomacy skills didn’t count when it came to keeping pigs. Ex-air stewards, Ian and Tony, tried to inject some life into their Cotswolds pub, but found themselves rejected by the locals and now run a bar in central London.
