OK - have gone through the list and found I have missed quite a few. (well I did make this clip 11 years ago )
I have missed: 2/13 Long Distance Telephone Calls 6/5 (most of these are at start of string episode) Low Suds Mold, Captain Fishface Cod Pieces, OLIPDD (don't know what this means?) Are You Getting Enough? (Margaret Thatcher), Harvest Moon Perfume, Kenny Cornflakes, Sunbeam Sliced Bread, Vibena Blackcurrant Juice, Nosho Dog Food, Rudyard's Almond Regency Slices
I completely missed the ones in season 8.
8/1 Keep Britain Tidy American Excess
You could also treat Maggie & Vanessa's political campaign as ads too, & they show a Maggie T. commercial (by Snaatchi & Snaatchi), which is also not in the list.
I wonder if the Network video (soon-to-be-released) DVDs will have all of the missing footage and Ads (eg Dreaded Wheat)?
Looking at http://www.goodiesruleok.com/articles.php?id=16 there doesn't seem to be an Advert in the original Kitten Kong either..... Bill: "I used to have a pet rabbit once.......and at no stage did he ever strap me to the couch and stick carrots in my ears!" |

Ooh, this should be a fun watch - thanks for sharing the link!
In case it's helpful, Brett's episode guide includes a list of the mock ads - http://goodiesruleok.com/articles.php?id=56&page=6
This doesn't included the "Dreaded Wheat" ad because that was thought lost at the time Brett compiled the guide. Here's the news item I'd posted in 2010 about that footage:
ABC Researcher extraordinaire John Williams has found another piece of missing footage from "The Goodies" (John is the one who recovered the censored "Commonwealth Games" footage). He's kindly provided the following information about the newly discovered clip,"Dreaded Wheat":
This 30 second clip from the second series episode 'The Lost Tribe' is a parody of a breakfast cereal advertisement [I believe that it might have been for the UK product Shredded Wheat, I'm sure that Andrew Pixley could identify the exact advertisement satirised - I think that we had a similar ad here in Australia many years ago] that features a young mother sees off her husband & son as they leave for work & school, the commercial's jingle refers to the "men in her life" which suddenly grows from two (referring to the husband & child) to a long procession of males (beginning with the milkman) running into & out of the house (in fastmo). It ends with a slightly disheveled young mother in the front doorway being embraced by an amorous Tim Brooke Taylor, the door slams shut.
The item was compiled along with other Goodies material (including the 'Commonwealth Games' cuts) and was listed by the National Archives Of Australia as being from the episode 'Pollution'. I did not recall this piece of footage from various episodes that I had seen, including the episode 'Pollution'. I sent a copy of the DVD to Andrew Pixley to review just in case there was anything on it that might not be accounted for. Thankfully, Andrew's expertise has helped identify yet another missing piece of Goodies footage by checking BBC paperwork to identify the 'Dreaded Wheat' clip. The episode of origin for the clip was positively identified as being 'The Lost Tribe'. |

Throughout the series there were a number of advertisements shown for different products (real /imaginary).
Below is a download link to a montage of adverts from the entire series 1970-1982.
I would be interested to know if this encompasses all the adverts, or what ones might have been missed out? - goes for about 35mins.
