The End is a charmingly simple episode of the goodies that manages to take a more traditional style of humour that you may expect from one of the more traditional sit-comes of the 70s, playing with proper jokes over visual gags.
This makes The End one of the more unique episodes of the series, although it's episodes like this that remind me why the Goodies may never be shown on TV again, such as the scene where the Goodies "find religion", with Tim becoming Jewish and Bill "blacking up" and becoming a Muslim, a phrase that still sticks in the throat.
The End is one of the most charmingly simple episodes of show and makes it extremely memorable, simply because it's so unique. It adds a new level of humour to the episode, and it's good to see the Goodies playing with a traditional style of humour for a change, not that I dislike their silly visual gags, but this is a breath of fresh air.
Thankfully, this episode has been released on both VHS and DVD, so is easily accessible, and if you want a more tradition episode of the Goodies, you may want to check this out.
