Summary

Bill, Graeme and Tim are The Goodies, three people who will go anywhere at any time and do anything that needs doing.

A long-running, popular programme featuring slapstick, camera trickery and surreal storylines.

The Goodies had the distinction of being considered by some at the BBC as "just a children's programme" while at the same time being attacked by Mary Whitehouse for being "too sexually orientated".

Episode titles are somewhat "variable", since most programmes didn't have onscreen titles and "published" titles tend to vary depending on the source. The titles used on this website are taken mainly from the BBC archives, with some additions drawn from listings in Laugh magazine.
