Many “comebacks” are an anti-climax, but not The Goodies. Beautiful writing, brilliant wordplay and a storyline which is very much of the moment, this is not simply re-packaged nostalgia. A chuckle from start to finish and it is “fun for all the family.” I hope there are plans for more. Please.

Genius, sheer genius!

This truly shows why good comedians last. Still as brilliant as they ever were, and far superior to most comedy being produced today. Great supporting cast too. Please make more.

A different class

The central idea of this very welcome return for the legendary comedy trio is that Britain is in such a state that the country needs The Goodies to run it and, having listened to 'The Big Ben Theory', I can confirm that Britain does indeed very much need The Goodies (and unfortunately also that Britain is in one heck of a state!).

It is so marvellous that, nearly forty years on from the last of their television exploits, Audible have retrieved The Goodies and their trandem from deep storage in the bowels of the former BBC Television Centre, blown the cobwebs off Bill, Tim and Graeme, oiled the bike's chains and brought our heroes back in audio form.

The result is a mix of all that there was to love and laugh about in The Goodies with an added soupçon of one of the trio's other successes, the radio sketch show I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again - and it's all highly entertaining, well written, superbly performed... and as well as The Goodies, there are also the vocal talents of Joanna Lumley, Phil Pope, John Culshaw, Kate Harbour and Barnaby Eaton-Jones to enjoy. And enjoy you will...

Britain needs The Goodies. The world could do with them, too!

This could have been awful, it isn’t. It’s excellent. I always remember The Goodies as a visual comedy, but this transfer to audio works brilliantly. It’s a mad story, laugh out loud funny, and the writing and performances are first rate. The only question is why it took so long to happen. So glad I gave it a play.

Wonderful

Thoroughly enjoyed it

Great fun as expected

If only there were more. Sadly, with death of Tim, this isn't possible. Having said that, this still same sort of anarchic comedy which any fan of the Goodies would hope to hear. If you have never seen the TV series, and as it has only been repeated as isolated episodes, give it a try. I very much doubt you'll be disappointed.

Wonderful!
