Cambridge Circus in New Zealand article

Thanks to cscamp for the pointer to an article about Cambridge Circus's visit to New Zealand in the 1960's (which was mentioned by The Goodies during their live shows). The article, at http://www.laughterlog.com/radio/rad-ccnz.HTM, includes a breakdown of the sketches from the four NZBC radio shows (which are held by the Radio New Zealand Sound Archives).

two "Springwatch" articles

Here are a couple of Springwatch-related articles. The first, from The Sun, says that "Springwatch" is matching Big Brother 8 in the primetime ratings (with approximately 4 million viewers each) and beating BB in late-night (90,000 viewers for Big Brother compared to 300,000 for Springwatch Nightshift).
There's a small photo of Bill at the end of the article.

An article at
icWales includes a quote from Bill talking about "Springwatch".

More Goodies downloads now available

Tickets for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - The Official Stage Tour (featuring Tim & Graeme) are still available for many dates, but they are selling fast. We previously mentioned that Tunbridge Wells had sold out. It appears Leeds, Reading, and the Sept. 18th date in Birmingham may have sold out as well. It might be worth checking with the box office directly for those shows, in case there have been returns.

The complete tour details and schedule are available in our FAQ.
