Happy 79th Birthday on September 25 to one of my favorite British actresses, Felicity Kendal, CBE. This is a repost of a blog post from 2023 because I have a couple of new readers who have expressed interest in some of the TV shows, especially British ones, that I've mentioned recently.
The 1975 television series, The Good Life, is one of her best-known works. It's the hilarious tale of a suburban couple, Tom and Barbara Good, who give up the rat race in favor of self-sufficiency, much to the chagrin of their snooty but lovable next-door neighbors, Margo and Jerry Leadbetter.
Felicity Kendal, Richard Briers, Penelope Keith, and Paul Eddington as Barbara and Tom Good, and Margo and Jerry Leadbetter.
A more recent work, Rosemary and Thyme, is another favorite - Pam Ferris as Laura Thyme and Felicity Kendal as Rosemary Boxer are a sleuthing gardening team.
Rosemary and Thyme is available on DVD as is The Good Life although it is a little harder to find. Rosemary and Thyme is also available on some streaming services. I highly recommend both.
