Sad to think there won't be any more.

Being an ex-pat American The Goodies was the first English Comedy that I enjoyed. I have tried watching the shows again but some can be a bit dated so it was such a pleasure to have an up-to-date version of the show! I wish they could produce more, but sadly we have lost Tim.

Terribly sad to hear Tim say goodbye

The Goodies are back for the last time.
They’re older and no wiser, as you would expect. Joanna Lumley is wonderful as the dame in the story.

I just want to give them all a huge hug.

Thank you Tim, Bill and Graeme for being the silliest, dearest, constant distant friends of my life. A light in the darkness of my lonely childhood and an inspiration to be very very silly later in life, Tim was my favourite Goodie, apart from the other two of course.

Now Tim has ridden his last Tomato Soup Can.

Vale Vale Vale

It takes me back.

The funniest and most nostalgic thing about this audio is the good childhood memories it stirs up. If you watched The Goodies over and over you will enjoy this walk down a Goodies future by referencing the past :)

Why only one episode?

It's only one hr! Did Tim die before they made Ep 2 for audible? Still it's contempory fun.
