> The Goodies is one of the zaniest British comedies ever. When they're talking, it's like Monty Python, and when they aren't, it's like Benny Hill, only more surreal and less off-color. It's best when they aren't talking. Anyway, Dave and I were introduced to this oddity of British humoUr;

The Goodies! I am intensely jealous. I grew up on the Goodies and well remember the "Giant Kitten Up The Post Office Tower" episode. One of the finest comedic moments in British televisual history and beaten only by "Tomato Sauce Gunfight". They are not repeated anywhere near often enough on our screens. And Monkey, too! One of the naff TV shows of the late seventies we enjoyed in Britain.

I shall have to make do with the current repeat showings of Thunderbirds on BBC2.
