Comedy Central Shows | The Goodies

Mention The Goodies to anyone over the age of 35 and you’ll see a smile spread across their face. The show was created by Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor and consisted of sketches and some situation comedy that reached the funny bone of people of all ages. Thanks to their wit, songs and their outlandish costumes the show gathered a huge following and despite risqué sketches the humour has survived the years and you can catch it here on Comedy Central. Tim was the posh one, loyal right down to his Union Jack underpants to Queen, country and the blessed Margaret Thatcher; Graeme was a middle-class technocrat, forging a new country in the white heat of his technological revolution; and Bill was the flat-capped son of honest toil, red in tooth and ballot-box-preference. The Goodies was massively popular in its time, its wit appealing to adults, its visual humour appealing to children and The Goodies' songs (especially "The Funky Gibbon") achieving notable chart success. So take a seat, sit back and reminisce with the gang.
