The Goodies

The Goodies - Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie - entertained millions of television viewers, penned best-selling books, waxed hit platters, and even appeared on the legendary celebrity edition of It's a Knockout. In the early 1960s, three innocent youngsters found themselves ensnared in the twilight world of cutting-edge comedy perpetuated by the shady, clandestine organisation known as the Footlights. After many adventures, they were to win through, save the United Kingdom from ruin, and become world famous in Australia. This book records how The Goodies came into being, their successes in various media and the legacy of their much-loved programme. Written by acclaimed archive television historian and Goodies expert Andrew Pixley this is the definitive look at the production of this classic comedy series. Over ten years in the making, it covers every single aspect of the series' production as well as lengthy looks at Broaden Your Mind, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and other related programmes.
