Tom, Barbara, Jerry and Margo, fight to save a newborn piglet
Scaramouche200420 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
In a bittersweet episode of The Good Life, Pinky the pig is in labour, and Tom Good, who now having read over 250 pages on pig midwifery, and therefore an expert is acting like an expectant father.

However when one of the piglets is born the sickly runt of the litter, Tom's philosophy of 'you just let them die' does not go down to well with Barbara, Margo and Jerry.

He therefore has to bring to the fore everything he has learnt about pigs and piglets in order to save the little pigs life.

Jerry and Barbara do a mercy dash to the hospital, accompanied by an over zealous policeman to acquire an oxygen bottle. Meanwhile Tom and Margo pool their resources to make a makeshift oxygen tent.

A cashmere sweater, a growing tray, an air feed pipe from a car radiator and a bottle of Brandy later, have the Goods and the Leadbetters done enough to ensure the piglets survival?
