Rating: - The Final Episodes - A Must Have Video
This video includes Suit Yourself, Sweet and Sour Charity, Anniversary, and the Royal Command Performance (also called When I'm 64).

The first three episodes listed are from the final series and are some of the best shows. Suit Yourself has Tom and Barbara turning fleeces into clothing (or something like clothing) and Jerry competing furiously for Sir's job. Sweet and Sour Charity features Margo deciding whether to take the lead role in the Music Society's production of Sweet Charity, a play she detests, or to stick to her principles and sit it out. Meanwhile, Tom and Barbara debate over whether to take the leftover heating oil from next door. In Anniversary, Sir has decided who will replace him when he retires. Will it be Jerry or the loathesome Snetterton? And will Tom and Barbara be able to cope with a catastrophe at home or are their days at self-sufficiency numbered?

When I'm 64 was made the year after the final series concluded. The video includes the Queen and Duke arriving and meeting the cast and crew. The show is not one of my favorites. The story is a little weak and doesn't really come to a conclusion, but it is interesting as the episode that wasn't available until recently. Tom and Barbara are worried about what will become of them when they are too old to manage the backbreaking work of self-sufficiency. They have no savings, so Tom comes up with a scheme he presents to the local bank manager, played by George Cole (who also played Henry Root). Meanwhile, Jerry needs more life insurance and has to get in shape for the medical exam.
