The Goodies,
By PD (Wiltshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Goodies ... At Last (BBC) [1970] [DVD] (DVD)
1970s humour at its best. Do not try to compare this with Monty Python - this should tickle a completely different part of you! If you remember the 1970s (and the Goodies) you must enjoy this, as there is a strong element of nostalgia - from the furniture to the social topics (disco, kung fu, etc). However, there is more to it than that - I still think it is genuinely funny. Personally I think that Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie are exceptionally talented and deserve much more recognition for this masterpiece that they produced. There is a wide range of humour in these programmes and they should appeal to a wide range of ages. Buy this double dvd and see what you think. Consider the "special effects" - they are clever, original and amusing at the same time. Why is this programme not repeated on television? And even better, there is commentary on three of the episodes by the three Goodies. Just hearing the three of them together again makes this dvd special. I have enjoyed the things they have done since leaving the Goodies (especially the brilliant I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue") but to people who were young in the 1970s these three performers will always be The Goodies.

A seventies comedy classic,
By
This review is from: The Goodies ... At Last (BBC) [1970] [DVD] (DVD)
This new dvd version looks better now than when the episodes were originally broadcast back in the seventies. The grainy 16mm film look has been replaced with crystal clear computer enhanced sequences. "The Goodies And The Beanstalk" also pays homeage to Alfred Hitchcock and the Marx Brothers as well as It's A Knockout with Eddie Waring. There are sight gags by the bucketload too. The first time the trio mount the trandem is a treasure. And when they volunteer to do some light housekeeping they end up lighthouse keeping. There's over 4 hours of top class comedy on this package including some out takes where Tim fluffs his lines and Bill has trouble with an old 78 rpm record. If you enjoyed The Goodies first time round you'll really enjoy this dvd collection. Hopefully they'll release a few more episodes soon.

Let's all do, the Funky Gibbon nowwwww...,

This review is from: The Goodies ... At Last (BBC) [1970] [DVD] (DVD)
As a kid I loved The Goodies, sitting on the sofa doubled-up with laughter trying to contain my weak bladder whilst my parents tutted and said how silly it was. Then the Eighties came and The Goodies vanished forever. Classic comedies like Fawlty Towers were frequently repeated, but the BBC never showed The Goodies again, which suggested that it wasn't the comedic materpiece that I'd always held it to be in my youth. Nevertheless, for old times sake I bought the DVD and switched on expecting a lot of nostalgia, but few laughs. I was wrong. The Goodies is still fresh and funny and although I'm now nearly 40, I still found myself laughing at the sheer uninhibited silliness of it all. Perhaps I haven't grown up, but I defy anyone to sit through 'Ecky Thump' without laughing. Thanks Bill, Graham and Tim for giving us a lot of fun.
