The Goodies Rule - OK

I have enjoyed the madcapped humour of the Goodies for many years now and are yet to find someone that even comes close to them in originality. Their shows were a laugh a minute and certainly made the 70's well worth being a part of. We would race home from school so we could set ourselves up for our favourite English double - The Goodies and Dr Who. And then we would spend the next day at school discussing both shows in detail. Tim, Graeme and Bill have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people and have in the process influenced many an up and coming British comedian. Who could forget a Giant Kitten, a giant cod, a pirate post office/radio station and stacks of hilarious drag sequences. The brilliant writing was seconded only by the fabulous songs. 'Wild Thing', 'Funky Gibbon' and 'The Inbetweenies' are more than just funny words to music - they are fantastic songs in their own right. The Goodies - a much over looked and unappreciated British 1970's comedy. The Goodies Rule - OK!!!
