The final episode of the first series has the roots of the kind of series The Goodies will evolve into later years.
The one where Graeme becomes the schemer, Tim the patsy.
Bill and Tim want to be radio DJs and apply for a licence for the new commercial radio stations. Tim is looking forward to 'have hundreds of little groupie girls offering themselves to me.' Obviously perks of the Radio 1 DJs at the time!
Only Bill missed the deadline as he used a second class stamp and the General Post Office is rubbish at second class delivering mail. (If only the Goodies could see the state of the Royal Mail in 2023!)
So Graeme has an idea to start a pirate mail service and radio station operating in the five mile exclusion zone in the sea.
The big problem is they only have one record to play. Delivering mail is tiring, especially first class as it requires a limousine and even a fanfare. Graeme turns into the kind of person that surely inspired Bruno Ganz in Downfall.
The first half was an extended sketch as Tim and Bill try to get the mail in the letter boxes and then try to deliver it. The second half is Graeme in full megalomanic mode.
