Goodies Celebrated on Radio 4
15/04/2004 00:00 GMT

Posted by davidbalston

The following news is taken from Chortle

The BBC is to air a celebration of The Goodies next month.

The news will go some way to placating fans ­ and stars Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie - who have long berated the corporation for refusing to repeat the classic Seventies comedy.

Outgoing BBC2 controller Jane Root is understood to dislike the series, feeling it has aged badly over the last three decades.

Now, following the successful release of some classic episodes on DVD, Radio 4 is to air a two-part profile of the team.

Phill Jupitus will presents the show, entitled No Fixed Abode, Cricklewood , starting on Tuesday May 25 at 11.30am, which charts the successful careers of the trio up to the Goodies launchin 1970.

Garden had written and acted alongside Ronnie Barker; Oddie had starred in a film with Tommy Cooper and Eric Sykes and Brooke-Taylor's history of acting and writing included masterminded Goodies forerunner Broaden Your Mind in 1968.

Radio 4 is also celebrating The Molesworth schoolboy books by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle in the same 11.30am slot from Thursday May 13.

The Goodies should be shown on BBC TWO as it is funded by the license payer and should be controlled by the license payer as it is 'Your BBC' but 'Your BBC' is only ever used when the BBC annual statent is released. Jane Root is not what the license payer says and I say that The Goodies is one of the best '70's comedy shows and I would say that Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em is copied from The Goodies because even Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie do their own stunts so Michael Crawford can't show off that he did his own stunts as well.
