Fun Friday The Good Life Xmas Silly, But It's Fun

 


So it is Christmas time in the Good’s self sufficient household. I love the Christmas ‘Vultures’ with resourceful red breasts. And I love that the animals are getting Christmas as well. It is so funny with the holly, mistletoe and the enormous, top snapped off, Christmas tree. I also love the Yule Log and the cute big robin with it’s too many wrong heads.


Well Margo (Penelope Keith) is having trouble with Bill (David Battley) the Tradesman ‘8 foot 5 and ¾ inches’ is sadly not ‘9 foot’. I don’t like that Margo is so picky and has an extremely high unreasonable expectation of customer satisfaction. And I don’t agree as Christmas is not supposed to come in a ‘Van’. I love what Bill said about Barbara’s (Felicity Kendal) eyes though. I can see why Jerry (Paul Eddington) would want a nice simple Christmas.


Now over at the Good’s Tom (Richard Briers) has made none ‘Bang’ crackers. I however, don’t like Tom listing all the things they haven’t got, as he should see and list what he does have. It is also amusing the undertone that Barbara knew Tom was Santa.


It is Christmas day, and a handy case of made up ‘Chicken pox’ could be salvation and give Jerry the Christmas he wants. I love the idea of ‘Each other’ but, one problem is that there is no food and the rest.


I love the generosity of the Goods, it is so heart-warming to see. I do wish Margo would get into the Christmas spirit. I know by the nature of her character that she finds it difficult but it handled well overall with a ‘Crack’ that will have to do for now. And now Margo doesn’t want to wear a tabloid newspaper. Now everyone can be silly, as Margo doesn’t want to go home. How could Barbara cheat at the balloon game, this is funny. I love Margo’s speech highlighting the true spirit of Christmas. I do agree that what the presents the Goods gave Margo and Jerry is ‘Perfect’ for the right occasion.


I don’t want to put a dampener on or give it away, the present that Margo and Jerry gave the Goods, I just question the gender of it?


This is, I agree, from what we see and hear, the ‘Best Christmas’ ever. Silly, fun with friends. I love this silly, lovely, and fun down to earth episode.

Thank you for reading

Fun Friday Kids Lovejoy

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
