Satirist and comedian Marcus Brigstocke (God Collar, The Brig Society) meets the UK’s finest comedy trio reunited at Slapstick Festival for a rare public screening of their western comedy classic ‘Bun Fight at the OK Tea Rooms’ (1975) Dir Jim Franklin, UK, 28mins.

From 1970 to 1982, television audiences roared with laughter in their millions at weekly editions of the visually inventive and stunt-led episodes of The Goodies that made Tim, Bill and Graeme household names. Here Marcus meets the classic comedy team as they discuss their legacy in comedy, their comic influences, western comedies and much more. With a chance too for Q&As, this is a unique opportunity to see these legendary performers together on stage discussing their love of silent comedy.
