  • Always thought this to be the definitive version. Seriously.

  • It's been over 30 years since i've seen this and I can't believe this still exists, it's made my day. Thanks go to whoever preserved it for posterity, it's brilliant and takes me back to my happy childhood. The Goodies deserved more recognition than they got, and were far better than Python. As for their version of Wild Thing, it's comes a close second behind the Jimi Hendrix renditions!

  • @WarsawPact1 Alvin Stardust's glove was another one. Graeme is wearing it.

  • I can remember when they first showed this (Christmas 1975) we couldn't watch it because there was no signal...dunno if it was industrial action or a problem with the transmitter. Had to watch something on BBC2 instead (I'd love to know what that was, I was in a right sulk at missing the Goodies) Any road, they repeated it early in the year after Christmas and I actually got to watch it. This scene has stayed in my head ever since...especially Graeme's ace hat.

  • Gotta love You Tube!

  • They were trying to create the perfect pop group by using the best bits of everyone else's act: Tim - Elton John's Glasses Bay City Rollers' trousers Bill - Roy Wood's hair Gary Glitter's chest hair Rod Stewart's trousers Graeme - The Rubettes' cap Bee Gees shirt? Not sure about the rest - though I do recall they kept Donny Osmond's diamond-studded teeth in a box
  • @ergomarshall Tough call, Hendrix or Goodies. Both are perfect, in their own way. Neither could have done the other's.

  • @DJSteady This is from The Goodies Rule OK.

    It's now on DVD.

  • @withnail555 The Goodies had far larger audiences than Monty Python during their heyday, they had to create coherent plots that lasted a half hour episode unlike Python which did sketch comedy which is far easier, their output as a collective was far greater than Python overall, they were also the fifth biggest grossing pop act in Britain in 1975. The Goodies were great in their own right and lose nothing in comparison to Python.

  • Those police are scary! LOL!

  • 53thousand policemen just fainted
