Goodies prove they still rule ok!

THE Goodies were a massive BBC TV comedy hit in the 1970s starring Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, better known these days for his TV programmes on birding and wildlife.

It achieved a cult following and was successful all over the world, famed for its hilarious sketches and quirky humour. Twenty years later, Tim, Graeme and Bill reunited and went on their first ever live sell-out Goodies show in Australia and last year the show hit the UK, with a run at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Paramount Brighton Comedy Festival. This show is now ready to hit the road in the eagerly awaited first UK tour.

The Goodies Still Rule OK features Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden live on stage reminiscing over their near 30 year career, while fellow member Bill Oddie, mistakenly left behind in Australia, appears via all-new video footage.

Featuring TV clips, sketches, Union Jack waistcoats and quite possibly explosions, this is a chance to celebrate a unique British institution.

Anyone who grew up in the 70s will remember the Goodies fondly, but if not the show was a live-action version of a typical Warner Bros cartoon, replete with speeded-up footage, film trickery and violent slapstick. It was a joyous, unrestrained, lightly satirical festival of visual humour, with models, special effects, explosions, giant props and camera tricks combining to produce a variety of fast-paced wild antics rarely seen since the heyday of the silent movies.

There was also a musical element to the shows, Bill Oddie providing songs or instrumental routines to fit in with the capers. This led to a long-lasting spin-off success for the team, with successful album releases and high-ranking chart entries for songs such as Funky Gibbon. Several such songs had first been performed by Oddie in the BBC radio sketch comedy show I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, in which all three Goodies had appeared, along with members of the Monty Python team.

The Goodies Still Rule OK is on for one night only in High Wycombe so be sure not to miss it.
