Richard Briers: Tom Good

Quotes 

• Tom Good : Do you like it?

  Barbara Good : Yes, I've always wanted two tonnes of rusty old iron in the kitchen. What's it for?

  Tom Good : It's a range, you range on it, with it.

  Barbara Good : Yes but what's it for? We've got a perfectly good cooker already.

  Tom Good : Won't be very good in a couple of weeks when the power gets cut off.

  Barbara Good : Clever. How much did we pay for it?

  Tom Good : The toaster and your hairdryer.

  Barbara Good : Oh thank you very much.

  Tom Good : No electricity.

  Barbara Good : Well, I suppose I could learn to cook with it.

  Tom Good : If you want to dry your hair, put it in there. If you want to make toast, this is *the* way of making toast.

  Barbara Good : Will you be swapping your electric razor for anything soon?

  Tom Good : Yes I suppose so, why?

  Barbara Good : Well this thing is so versatile I want to see how you're going to shave with it.
