	Tales From Darkside 6 / TV Series
		It's hard to believe it's been 20 years or more since co-producer George Romero's TV series first traversed the ozone highway into our living rooms.
		Since the writers in the series are so numerous and varied in style, the mood and feel of each are totally different from one another, and represent an albeit edgy, 80s representation of television programming.
		In this particular tape, five episodes are taken from the series, featuring the writing skills of Robert Bloch (Psycho) and Michael McDowell (Beetlejuice).

	The Goodies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Goodies never had a formal contract with the BBC, and when the BBC Light Entertainment budget for 1980 was exhausted by the production of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series, they signed a contract with London Weekend Television for ITV.
		Stella, an American trio, has a show on Comedy Central that is very similar to the Goodies in terms of basic plot line — with the trio even riding a trandem.
		The Goodies was a surreal British television comedy series of the 1970s combining sketches and situation comedy and starring Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie.

	MPAA targets six BitTorrent TV sites - CD Freaks.com
		I mean how hard it is to simultaneously release new TV show in the Australia, it's an english speaking country, so there shouldn't be any problem redubbing the series.
		They say that TV torrents have commercial edited out so it cuts into their profits, well this argument is totally bogus.
		If a person turns to bittorrent to download an episode, then most likely they simply missed it on TV so the point about watching commercial is bogus since those ppl missed the show and commercials bundled with it anyway.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Goodies
		During their BBC years The Goodies twice won the Silver Rose of Montreux (Kitten Kong, the 1972 winner, was a partial remake of a second series episode which had first aired on 12 November 1971), and the Goodies also presented a programme about the festival, The Golden Rose (BBC1, 10 May 1975).
		By the second series of Broaden Your Mind, the Goodies trio of Brooke-Taylor, Garden and Oddie were assembled and determined to continue working together, focusing on the filmed visual comedy they so enjoyed writing and performing.
		In 1981 The Goodies switched from the BBC to ITV and presented a Christmas special, Snow White 2 (which crossed the Snow White story with Star Wars), and the following month they launched a show on the commercial channel.

	Series 1 & 2
		The team parodied ITV adverts cleverly (Tim's frequent appearances as the brattish, incompetent Baked Beans kid) while the season closer, Pirate Radio Goodies, was a wonderful surreal tale of the the trio's attempts to start a radio station whilst possessing only one record (A Walk in the Black Forest).
		Brooke-Taylor was closely involved with the setting up of the series but was often unable to be involved in the actual writing of episodes because of his other work (chiefly in radio comedy).
		And while The Goodies weren't The Monkees by any stretch of the imagination, the sight of Bill, Tim and Graeme on Top Of The Pops doing The In-Betweenies or Wild Thing does have a certain nostalgic kitsch about it.

	Hot Buttered Death:
		Having said that, the selection of eight episodes on the new Goodies DVD is by and large excellent, presenting as it does some of the best episodes from the entire length of the series.
		It’s worth remembering of course, that the show was produced for the BBC during the 1970s and accordingly it’s a fine display of the level of TV special effects (particularly the use of colour separation overlay, a.k.a.
		There’s about eight minutes worth of colour 16mm film footage from Broaden Your Mind, which is apparently all that remains now of that program (along with the singing dogs), plus a small number of Goodies studio outtakes.

	BBC NEWS Magazine Faces of the week
		Bill Oddie's Springwatch series, now in its third year, has outstripped even Big Brother, making its star, formerly best-known as a Goodie, into television's newest cult hero.
		Explaining the mating habits of British fauna is a million miles away from Oddie's previous incarnation, as a member of the country's best-known comedy trio, the Goodies, and musical celebrator of another exotic animal, the Funky Gibbon.
		With giant kittens demolishing London's Post Office Tower, the lost Lancashire martial art of Ecky Thump, and a natty three-man bicycle - the trandem - the TV programme soon boasted huge ratings.

	Bill Oddie
		On the TV series The Goodies were a three-piece, but when it came to the records Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden took a back seat and let Bill indulge his love and mastery of pop music.
		Oddie reckons he wrote more than a hundred songs for ISIRTA, but he had to wait for The Goodies' more mainstream appeal before he made the charts.
		The latter was subsequently recorded by Bill and most of The Grease Band (including Sunny) and released on John Peel's Dandelion label.

		Oddie's musical ability (previously a key element in I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again), which, with the help of musical arrangers Michael Gibbs (and later Dave McRae) became vital to The Goodies sense of focus with chase sequences often accompanied by Oddie's low-key songs such as Come Back or Dumb Animals.

	The Alien Online - Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror News, Reviews, Articles and more...
		Kevin - who worked on the HHGG TV series graphics - has established a reputation as one of the finest documentarians of TV SF, directing The Making of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dr Who - 30 Years in the TARDIS, and most recently a series of featurettes for the impending Blake's 7 DVDs.
		I was already a huge fan of SF (Dr Who, Blake's 7, Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein) and classic British comedy (Hancock, Monty Python, The Goodies, P.G. Wodehouse) and here was something which combined the two.
		Douglas' work just chimed for me, although HHGG was enormously popular generally and certainly was the 'in' thing at my school for a couple of years, quoted by everyone.

	Anything, Anytime, Anywhere — The Goodies
		The Goodies, at least according to its fans, is the greatest forgotten TV comedy classic of the seventies.
		That’s arguable, I suppose, but it was long lasting (through the seventies and the early eighties), featured some of the most famous names in British comedy (Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke Taylor and Bill Oddie) and managed to be made by two separate TV networks (BBC and later London Weekend TV).
		What took the series above your average sit-com was its regular lurches into the surreal.
