One of the funniest episodes of The Goodies. Well a man reputedly did die laughing while watching this!
The Goodies mock the kung fu craze of the 1970s. Rochdale born Bill Oddie returns to his roots. While Graeme and Tim practice their kung fu. Graeme tries out his touch of death on Tim.
Bill recounts the deadly Lancashire martial art of Ecky Thump. This involves hitting people on the head with black puddings.
Before long Bill is a cinema star with movies such as Enter the Drag-On. Where he cross dresses.
When the Lancastrian posse try to overthrow the government. Graeme tries to wrest control of the black puddings.
Immensely funny, very pythonesque. Wonderfully filmed. I watched this as a kid and still find it amusing over 40 years later. The Goodies at their best.
