==Background==
''The Good Life'' was written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey for Richard Briers, the only cast member with a previously established high profile. Larbey and Esmonde were inspired by Larbey attaining his 40th birthday, which seemed to them a milestone in most people's lives.〔 Their storyline has the Goods' decision to pursue self-sufficiency conflicting sharply with the habits of the Leadbetters, who live next door. The conflict between neighbours balanced with an increasingly close friendship creates comic tension as that friendship is tried to its limits.
Peter Bowles was originally cast to play the role of Jerry, but was unavailable.〔 He later starred opposite Penelope Keith in ''To the Manor Born''. Hannah Gordon was considered for the role of Barbara but ruled out, having recently played a similar role in the BBC sitcom ''My Wife Next Door''. Esmonde and Larbey chose Felicity Kendal and Penelope Keith after seeing them on stage together in ''The Norman Conquests''. The location filming was in the North London suburb of Northwood, although the series was set in Surbiton, southwest London. The producers searched extensively for a suitable pair of houses, eventually chancing on Kewferry Road, Northwood (Google street view (), the Leadbetters' house to the left).〔"All About The Good Life (broadcast on BBC2 9.00pm 28 December 2010)〕 The grounds of the Goods' house were returned to their original state after the filming of each series' inserts and all livestock removed at the end of each day's filming.
