The Goodies as custard pie–wielding gangsters; as Robin Hoods on their trandem; and as Union Jack–vested rock stars.
50 years ago today, the Goodies indulged their rock fantasies (and nightmares), governed the nation (briefly, while bouncing), and were done in by their own puppet government. Tonight I shall revisit this least coherent—though by some, most fondly remembered—of specials. #Goodies50 #SuperChapsThree

50 years ago today, the Goodies carried their mule to Cornwall, made a fortune in cream and strawberry jam (plus scönes/scônes), then staked it all in a bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms. Tonight, I shall break out a stack of gingernuts and watch history unfold... #Goodies50 #SuperChapsThree #Bunfight
