The Goodies Rule OK

Throughout the 1970s Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie created the most imaginative, inventive and consistently hilarious television show around. They have remained a comedy staple on ABC in the intervening years, and their status as comedy giants is undisputed. Fully endorsed by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, this the definitive companion to the legendary TV show. Illustrated throughout with rare archive photos, behind-the-scenes shots, plus previously unseen memorabilia, The Goodies Rule OK recalls their earliest collaborations on stage and radio, covers their nine series of television classics and finally we see them again "Still Alive on Stage" in the new century. Interviewed exclusively for this book, each Goody offers his own recollections on the creation and filming of each series, providing insight into how this cult comedy collective conquered the small screen in the 1970s and why their legacy still stands tall today.
