I've just received word that the Phoenix Arts Cinema in Leicester plans to hold an approximately 2 hour screening of key episodes of The Goodies this Sunday, 19 February, starting at 2.30pm.

The Cinema is located on Newarke Street; their Box Office can be reached at
0116 255 4854.

Here's a blurb from their website (at

THE GOODIES

Sunday, February 19, 2006 at 2.30pm
  Tx: 1970/81, approx 1hr 45mins, PG

PRICE : £4.90
CONCESSIONS : £3.90

Dirs: John Howard Davies, Jim Franklin, Bob Spiers By any measure The Goodies were pretty unfairly neglected by the BBC compared, say, to Ronnie Barker in Porridge or The Trotter Family in Only Fools & Horses who seem to have never left the schedules. And despite the Goodies “retrospective” the Beeb mounted last Christmas, it’s high time to restore order and screen some of the most memorable episodes featuring Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie, and Graeme Garden. Our compilation will include whole or part episodes of The Movies, Goodies and the Beanstalk, Punky Business, Kitten Kong, and hopefully Robot.
