Episodes
1. Silly, but It's Fun...
The Goods have an entirely self-made Christmas (except for the balloons), while the Leadbetters order theirs from a department store. When there's a hiccup in the delivery, the Leadbetters are invited round to the Goods for some homemade food, drink and entertainment.
2. When I'm 65
Tom worries that they haven't made provision for their old age, when they'll be too infirm to follow their self-sufficient lifestyle. Concerned about their old age, the Leadbetters take out a 14th life policy on Jerry, and take up keep-fit. When Tom boasts that his digging and gardening keeps him fitter than Jerry's jogging and rowing machine, they end up having a long-distance race.
