ABC was a lot different in the 70's and early 80's...half those Goodies episodes would be considered far too "problematic" to screen nowadays....which is probably why they're not... :shh

RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor.

I'm another who loved the Goodies growing up  :thumbsup. Ecky-Thump, Kitty Kong and of course the commercials (with Tim constantly copping a bucket of baked beans all over him).

The ABC wrongly thought the Goodies was a kids programme so that's why they showed it after school to our age (gen X) group in the 70s and early 80s. They did the same with Dr Who and Kenny Everitt. Geez, showing my age I even remember Danger Mouse and Roger Ramjet from back then.
