Earlier this month Roadshow Entertainment released two repackaged Goodies DVDS.  According to a sticker on the covers, each is specially priced under $15 through December 31, 2006.

* "The Goodies - 4 Delicious Episodes" contains the first disk from the previously released "The Goodies - 8 Delicious Episodes".  Contents include the digitally restored episodes "Tower of London", "Gender Education", "Kitten Kong", and "The Goodies and the Beanstalk" as well as commentaries on two episodes (Kitten Kong & Beanstalk), storyboards, a laughter-free track on "Goodies and the Beanstalk", and a digital restoration featurette.

* "The Goodies – A Second Helping: 4 Tasty Serves" contains the first disk from the previously released "The Goodies – A Tasty Second Helping".  Contents include the digitally restored episodes "Radio Goodies", "Come Dancing" (black & white version), "The Movies", and "South Africa" as well as commentaries on two episodes (The Movies & South Africa) and the Goodies Christmas Night with the Stars 1972 clip (aka "The Goodies Traveling Instant Five-Minute Christmas").

Please note that the covers of "A Second Helping: 4 Tasty Serves" and "A Tasty Second Helping" are especially similar (as are the titles) - check carefully to make sure you are purchasing the DVDs you want.  In case it is helpful I've put a side-by-side comparison of the DVDs mentioned above in the Goodies Illustrated Guide at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7yes3/illustratedguides/videos_dvds.html
