Na verdade, uma vez que o personagem de The Good Life afirma "Você estará fora do Manor Born", eu posso ver como isso pode ser interpretado como "The Manor Born" sendo um lugar físico , como outra sitcom.
A idéia para a sitcom Para a Manor Born foi realmente concebida por Peter Spence no início dos anos 1970, depois de ter uma conversa com um comediante .
Peter Spence first thought of the idea behind To the Manor Born in the
early 1970s when he was working for BBC Radio as a gag writer. One of
the programmes that Spence wrote for featured a Cockney comedian, who
had recently bought a manor house in an English country village.
When holding a housewarming party, the comedian invited the previous
occupant, a widow who could not afford to keep the house up and had
moved to a smaller house in the village. The comedian's account of the
lady, and the conversation he had with her, Spence later described as
a "perfect description" of Audrey.
A few years later, following the success of The Good Life, Spence was
asked by BBC Radio to come up with an idea for a programme to feature
Keith.Thinking of Keith's character in The Good Life, Spence had the
idea of an upper-class version of Margo Leadbetter and, from the
account from the comedian, came up with Audrey fforbes-Hamilton.
Instead of a Cockney comedian as the new owner of the manor, Spence
decided on an American who sees the manor while in England looking for
his roots. The American later discovers he is descended from the
fforbes-Hamiltons.
Embora Spence tenha pensado no personagem de Keith em The Good Life enquanto criava uma ideia para a BBC Radio, (que mais tarde se tornou a sitcom, Para a Manor Born ) Não há nenhuma evidência que sugira que a frase falada no episódio final de A Boa Vida foi uma inspiração de Para a Manor Born .
Um interessante fato :
The Good Life aired for four series and two specials from 4 April 1975
to 10 June 1978. The final one-off episode, "When I'm Sixty-Five", was
a Royal Command Performance in front of The Queen, The Duke of
Edinburgh and senior BBC management. The cast and crew were presented
to The Queen and Prince Philip after the recording.
Talvez a frase " Para a Manor Born " estivesse na final roteiro devido à presença de royalties? Um fato interessante para ponderar.
