The Official Goodies Rule - OK! Fan Club Website

After much deliberation, blood, sweat & quite a few tears, I've got a simple auction page rigged up. This is to auction off a few autographed items to raise money for the club. The link is in the menu, between the T-shirts and the journals.

More apologies

Sorry again people. I just found that there was a small typo in the signup forms which caused them not to work properly. I've fixed it now so all those who haven't been able to register on the site can now do so.

Site problem

Sorry for the downtime on the site, I forgot to move the databases over the the new hard drive so it filled up again. It's been done this time and double checked so it shouldn't be happening again.

delay in mailing this month's newsletter

It appears that the second Goodies DVD will be released on 3rd March. While we haven't confirmed this date with the distributor it is showing up on various retailers' websites (this is also the date of the first Goodies show in Sydney).

The title and artwork of the Australian Vol. 2 is still forthcoming.

formatting problem in the FAQ section

This is an apology to all the people who couldn't register on the website since the upgrade. There was a problem with the msn field on the database causing the registrations to fail.

It should all be fixed now.

Bill promoting new nature show/book in the UK

Goodies upcoming tour mentioned on thestageonline

A member of the Yahoo Bill Oddie group reported that Bill appeared on a tv show called "This Morning" on 4th January to promote his new book. This a tie-in to his new tv show, "Bill Oddie's How to Watch Wildlife", that starts this Friday (7th January).

It was suggested that Bill might turn up on other morning shows such as "Richard and Judy" (though we don't have any info about specific appearances).

The Goodies upcoming tour in Australia is mentioned in an article at http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/5867. This page has a 1977 publicity photo of the guys with their children (the little boy with the balloon was the son of a friend).

The article erroneously says that 5,000 copies of the Goodies DVD were sold in Australia last year (the figure should have been 50,000).

"Hamish & Dougal" Listen Again link fixed

If you encountered problems listening to "Hamish and Dougal's Hogmanay Special" via BBC Radio 4's Listen Again service the past few days you can try it again now; the link has been fixed.

The show can be heard at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/ (as can a repeat of yesterday's edition of ISIHAC, although that's listed under "Best of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue 2004" since they haven't updated the title from last week's special).

The "Hamish & Dougal" special should be available online through this Friday evening (7th January)
