11. The Goodies (Goody, Goody,Yum,Yum)

THE GOODIES was a UK comedy series that ran (mostly) on the BBC between 1970 and 1980. The Goodies of the title were three men, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden, who advertised themselves as being prepared to "Do Anything, Anywhere, Anytime". This mostly involved doing good, but occasionally they fell to in-fighting and things got very slapstick-y and surreal. Their targets were sometimes topical, often parodies and always involved sped-up physical gags and stunts. The trio actually ran around more than Benny Hill. The show was shot both in studio on video and on location on film; the low budget effects and Oddie's brilliant music made this a unique and beloved series for the Boomers and X-ers who were lucky enough to see it.
