For the 35th anniversary of iconic sitcom The Good Life, and in homage to Tom and Barbara Good, Giles Coren and Sue Perkins are trying out self-sufficiency in the suburbs. But is it really possible to live out of the rat race and off grid in modern Britain?
Through Giles and Sue's experiments in dying and making clothes, rearing chickens, goats and pigs, growing veg in the garden, selling their produce to the public and making their own electricity, this book shows you how to be greener, reduce your carbon footprint and, in the spirit of Tom and Barbara Good, how to live more self-sufficiently too.
Packed with practical information, and helpful hints and tips, Giles and Sue Live The Good Life is an inspirational new handbook for sustainable living.

About the Author
Sue Perkin and Giles Coren are a familiar TV team, first appearing together in Edwardian Supersize Me in 2007 followed by The Supersizers Go... in 2008, where they ate the diets from various historical periods, including WWII rations, then monitored the impact each diet had on their bodies. They returned in 2009 with The Supersizers Eat... sampling the foods of ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the French revolution and Twenties.
When not eating weird and wonderful historical delicacies with Giles, Sue is a comedian, radio and television presenter, actress, and writer. She has appeared on a range of popular TV panel and entertainment shows, winning BBC talent show Maestro in 2008, culminating in her conducting of three pieces at Proms in the Park. Giles is a restaurant critic, newspaper columnist for The Times and Sunday Times and author. He has also presented a number of programmes, including 2006 documentary Taxing the Fat about the costs of obesity for the NHS. He became a familiar TV face after he regularly appeared as a correspondent on Gordan Ramsey's The F-Word in 2005.
