"Overview
Finally telling the story of The Goodies. IN THEIR OWN WORDS. YES THAT'S RIGHT. More relevant today than ever before...with chart-topping hits...politics ahead of their time...and a style of comedy that's never been rivalled. It's the story we've all been waiting for. Everything you ever wanted to know. Coming to a screen near you in 2020.

When Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie were asked by the BBC to create a show that would be accessible to the mainstream, they thought they’d only last one series. So they decided to have some fun and make a show for themselves. Something that made them laugh - hoping that we’d laugh too. Throwing into it every comic device they’d loved as kids, and with Bill writing some very witty songs: they called themselves THE GOODIES.

They saw their comedy as a way of telling the truth about the world - about politics and civil rights, inequality, celebrity and the system in general. They were anti-establishment in their views but very silly in their humour.

When the first series aired in November 1970, we tuned in. 10 million of us. We laughed so much that by 1982 we’d watched 76 episodes of the show. We couldn’t get enough.

So for any fan who still wants more, this is their story. The bits before, the bits during and the bits right up to now…a tale of epic proportion, fifty years in the making and NEVER BEEN TOLD BEFORE, well, not quite like this anyhow.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

By backing this campaign you’ll be helping us tell the story we’ve all been waiting for… The Goodies THE DEFINITIVE STORY like it’s never been told. And that’s because they’re the ones telling it - Tim, Bill and Graeme are on board to tell their no-holds barred, in-depth story for the very first time.

We’ll be bringing unseen material into the world as we scour every archive library and attic out there, looking for Goody gold. Hopefully footage you’ve never seen before and audio-taped interviews that have only existed in journalists' basements up until now.

With your help, we’ll be showing as many clips from the episodes as we can. It’s a numbers game: the more money we raise, the more clips we can license.

We’ll be interviewing all those people that were part of their journey, telling stories that have never been heard before. Anecdotes, memories and laughter.

How are we going to fit it all into 90 minutes? We’ll do our best to tell you an incredibly unique story, hopefully one with a few surprises for even the most knowledgeable fans. "

There's (another) Goodies DVD boxset on the horizon, due to be released on October 7th, 2019

Pre-Order at Amazon UK - £94.37


This is noted as having 14 discs, unlike the previous Complete BBC Collection (£50.49), which only had 12 discs


Presumably the additional two discs are the Complete LWT Series (£6.89)


Far be it from me to tell fans what to do with their money, but...do the maths people!

If something says complete to me then I presume there is nothing to add and that's absolutely everything, otherwise it's not complete and false advertising to me.

What part is false advertising, gag?

There's the complete BBC series, the complete LWT series and now a new set that compiles them both as the complete collection.

So what exactly is false there?

Some people just don’t read things properly and get confused.

December 21st, 1975 - 44 years ago today
