The Good Life Returns to Stage in Carlisle

The beloved BBC sitcom 'The Good Life' is making a surprise return nearly 50 years after its original run, now reimagined as a stage adaptation directed by Verity Ramsden. The show, which aired from 1975 to 1978, followed Tom and Barbara Good as they sought a self-sufficient lifestyle, facing humorous challenges with their capitalist neighbors, Margo and Jerry Leadbetter. The new stage version, currently running at the Green Room Theatre in Carlisle, introduces fresh twists and has received positive audience feedback for its humor and performances. In addition, ITV's popular drama 'Trigger Point' is set to return for a third series, following its successful second season which averaged 8.1 million viewers. Vicky McClure will reprise her role as bomb disposal operative Lana Washington, promising more high-stakes drama as the team faces new threats. Meanwhile, fans of 'Over the Garden Wall' can look forward to a new stop-motion short celebrating the series' 10th anniversary, releasing on November 3.
