Goody Goody Yum Yum!

Gobsmackingly funny when I was a kid, is it still good?

Its still Goody Goody Yum Yum!

The three Goodies in question Tim, Bill & Greame before this show where script & joke writers for the likes of David Frost, The Two Ronnies and yes Monty Pythons flying circus.

Finally they figured out that the real money is in writing for yourself so in 1970 they became the Goodies, three guys who will do anything anywhere anytime usualy with a guest star or celebrity playing the villian.

Part way through the series (again) they figure out that they where missing out, this time not the money but the fun. The guests where getting the best part of the show (villians) so each episode one of the boys would eventualy get corrupted, go loony and have to be stopped by the other two.

Most of the shows comedy is visual so language is no barrier to the shows apeal and it was relevent everywhere.

While I like Montey Python & other UK comedy shows this is probably the best there was.

This is the only show which it is recorded that a viewer laughed until he dropped dead!

I am not joking here someone laughed so much they had a coronry, its that funny.
