Description
Book Synopsis''A great celebration of one of our most loved national treasures'' Felicity Kendal
The term ''national treasure'' has seldom been more appropriate. Richard Briers was not only the nation''s favourite next-door neighbour thanks to his work in the iconic BBC sitcom The Good Life, he was an actor you felt like you really knew, despite having only seen him on stage or screen.
While his role as Tom Good might be considered the pinnacle of Richard''s sixty-year career, it sits atop a mountain of roles that combined represent one of the most productive and varied careers in British entertainment history. Indeed, Richard''s television work alone makes up a not insignificant portion of our country''s best endeavours on the small screen, from Jackanory and the anarchic Roobarb and Custard through to Dr Who, Inspector Morse, Ever Decreasing Circles, Extras, and the long-running comedy drama, Monarch of the Glen.
