Damn, that’s a shame...and I imagine we’ll lose a fair few more people before this is all said and done....stay at home people! :(

There’s so much denial out there...and I can’t blame anyone, honestly , because I really don’t want to believe the situation is as bad as it is. I keep hoping I’ll wake up and it’ll all be over.

We’re not doing great, but we’re doing OK up here in Canada so far...you guys are not having a great time down there right now :(

There are still people everywhere globally denying the stay at home orders though...it’s insane...do they have that little self-regard and/or regard for their common man?

He was finally defeated by the TRUE Gand Master of Ecky Thump.

Such a shame the masters of the Goodies were lost - it was one of the funniest shows of its era. Must see TV in our house when I was a kid.

Ummmm... we've got a Goodies box set with 4 DVDs worth of episodes.... including Ecky Thump. Plus I've got a whole stack of episodes as MP4s...

That’s interesting. I’d assumed you never saw repeats because the BBC had overwritten the tapes as with so much other content of the period . But according to wiki, it appears they weren’t repeated just....because.

I’m going to have to go buy the DVDs now

Australian children saw many of the episodes repeated over and over again on ABC Television most weekday afternoons (generally after Catweaze l and before Doctor Who if memory serves correctly )   during the late 70s and early 80s. Primarily because the BBC licenced The Goodies for a song...
