Bob Cryer, son of The Goodies' longtime friend and professional collaborator Barry Cryer,  is directing a short film project based on 10 of Barry's favourite classic gags. 

The film will be called "Joke", and in Bob's words "it features some of Britain’s finest comedy talent (including Judi Dench, Jack Dee, Stephen Fry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, and Alison Steadman). It’s a tribute to Dad’s love of silliness — especially the kind you’d hear on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue on Radio 4."

They're currently crowdfunding the project on Kickstarter and have been awarded the "Project We Love" status by their staff.  If you are interested in learning more about the project and/or contributing, please visit the project's Kickstarter page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jokefilm/joke-the-film
Bob also stated that they'd love to hear the fans' favourite Barry joke or Clue moment (and of course Barry also worked with Graeme Garden on "Hamish & Dougal: You'll Have Had Your Tea" and with Tim Brooke-Taylor in "Hello Cheeky", along with many other projects).
