Happy birthday Richard Briers – 76 today.
I have vague memories of listening to Marriage Lines on the radio but don’t recall watching it on TV.

I remember watching this in black-and white steam television. And I also remember thinking that Prunella Scales was a major hottie. What I love now is the clarity of their diction.
Many years later Briers was a revelation in – can’t remember which – one of Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespeare films. Much Ado, I think.
But what about The Good Life?
that is what he will always be remembered for.
