The Goods find they can more or less do without a regular income, mod cons, and other luxuries, and generally don't care about looking scruffy or being covered in dirt. The Leadbetters, on the other hand, enjoy the finer things in life. They like having money, a car, a nice house and a garden and can't understand why anyone would want to give them up or how they could live without them.

The series follows the couple as they face all the challenges that come with growing their own food, keeping livestock and living on little or no money.

As they dig up their garden to plant their crop and create enclosures for their animals, including Geraldine the goat and pigs Pinky and Perky, it's to the complete bafflement of their snooty neighbours Margo and Jerry Leadbetter.

Written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, who later created Brush Strokes and Ever Decreasing Circles, the series aired on BBC1 from 1975 to 1978.
