    Episode 10 - The End

    Our journey comes to a conclusion with this, an episode loved by all. 'The End" is of course the much loved show where The Goodies are encased in a concrete block for 70 years. It is with much pleasure, and a hint of sadness that we welcome you, our listener, to our final podcast of the series. You may well be a teapot after this one…

    Episode 8 - Lighthouse Keeping Loonies

    Our eighth episode has landed, and Jim attempts to explain the inner workings of this fabulous episode. The Goodies have signed up for some ‘Light Housekeeping’ but things, as so often happens with The Goodies, don’t go to to plan when they find themselves actually doing some ‘Lighthouse Keeping’ (Did you see what I did there…?) The episode features lots of round things, rogue ships, a rocket, a single mump, and a surprise royal visit. Settle in and explore Lighthouse Keeping Loonies with us.

    Episode 5 - Wacky Wales

    This episode has proven to be one of the more polarising offerings from The Goodies. Some people love it, and other people… not so much. We pull apart the episode and discover the hidden themes buried deep within the writing. Central to the episode is the masterful performance of the late, great Jon Pertwee having just completed his final season of Doctor Who. Grab your Brillo Pad and join us as we look in detail at Wacky Wales.
