In 2001 and a bit, Tim hands over the business to his son, Bill Brooke-Taylor. There's some business about the second generation Goodies having been triplets, and their mother, Raquel Welch (!!!) having named them after their fathers, with the inevitable mix-up - hence Tim Garden and Graeme Oddie. The bulk of the story is about how modern society is bored witless because nothing is forbidden, and the Goodies #2 try to fix it by reintroducing something genuinely boring - the ancient game of cricket.
I always got a chuckle from this as a kid, when it first aired, from the generational characters and costumes, and the Acme Power Boots (if only they were real!). What strikes me now is how painfully accurate a prediction it was in many ways, not least how eerily Tim resembles Trump in the first scenes!
