Cinnamon Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The classic BBC comedy 'The Good Life' is to return to our screens...............as a reality show. Sue Perkins & Giles Coren, who were so good together in 'Supersizers' are growing veggies,grazing goats in the park & weaving their own clothes.They will also generate their own power, & while experts are on hand if they need themthey are mostly expected to work things out for themselves. Sounds like fun! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1294520/The-Good-Life-recycled-BBC-reality-fronted-Sue-Perkins-Giles-Coren.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 That could be good! I'll look out for that one! I think Sue is funny - and they do work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm madly in love with Giles Coren They've been filming for a couple of months now, Giles thinks he nearly died because a chicken walked near him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Oh wow!

bluekarin Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I love those two together! How exciting!The only thing I don't like about Giles is how he eats his food But he's so lovely, I'll forgive him that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 He is a bit of a pig when it comes to his food,isn't he? But then he is a restaurant critic,so I guess enthusiasm should be expected......not that that is any excuse for poor manners,of course. They work really well together. Claret,I think you would really enjoy 'Supersizers' - you should check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Claret,I think you would really enjoy 'Supersizers' - you should check it out! What's it about? Not people who eat like pigs I hope I only get an hour's watching a week, so it had better be good; it's not satellite is it? I don't have one of those.

bronze Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 oh this could be good loved Sue ever since light/late lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's vaguely educational too Clare,so Rosie would like it too. Basically they live,as far as they can,and eat from a certain period in time. There has been the 70's,Regency times,Victorian and so forth. They have a chef or cook recreate the foods of the time, and there have been some weird and wonderful things they have had to live on. Actually, Supersizers is a very misleading title for it.

Valkyrie Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 OH was a bit upset at that news. He said they are really sad and unoriginal. Um, he really loved that programme, so it's hit a raw nerve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
