I've just finished watching the Movies episode. That had the single most brilliant sequence of all their stuff, with the long climax of the three-way fight between the casts of Tim's ancient period drama actors, Graham's cowboy movie and Bill's silent slapstick comedy film. The special effects were awesome!

That episode won the Silver Rose of Montreux back in 1975, second time the team won that accolade (the first time was with 'Kitten Kong' in '72).
Incidentally, in the 1980s the BBC wanted to remake the Goodies as "the New Goodies" (very imaginative title) with Philip Schofield, Andy Crane and somebody else from the 'broom cupboard' more-or-less rehashing old Goodies adventures. It never got off the ground, thankfully!
I loved the Goodies....amd would like to see them again but I believe that the BBC aren't keen on showing them again for whatever reason. I wonder if the programmes would have stood the test of time???
Graham Garden writes and is on I am sorry I Haven't a Clue on the Radio regularly.
I used to love The Goodies when I was a lad. Got some episodes on DVD and Virgin Media had series 1 on their On demand service.
It was worse than dreadful to watch these again. Very poor comedy and it was very dated
