EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic television series, The Good Life, which aired in June 1978. The show revolves around a couple's ambitious pursuit of self-sufficiency in Surbiton. However, what many might not know is that the exterior scenes were actually filmed in the picturesque gardens of two neighboring detached houses on Kewferry Road, Northwood, Middlesex. In this image, we see one of these homes belonging to Margaret Mullins standing proudly next door. It served as the backdrop for Richard Briers' character Tom Good and Felicity Kendal's character Barbara - a couple determined to break free from societal norms and embrace an alternative lifestyle. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its nostalgic appeal but also in its reminder that even fictional worlds are intricately woven into our reality. These two suburban houses became synonymous with the beloved characters who captured our hearts during those summer evenings. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it transports us back to an era when television had a profound impact on our lives. It reminds us of simpler times when families would gather around their screens eagerly awaiting each episode's comedic escapades and heartwarming moments. This Memory Lane Print serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and how it can transform ordinary places into extraordinary settings forever etched in our memories.
