Just watched Porridge. One of the best comedies ever, wouldn't have been the same without Ronnie Barker in it. I don't think I've seen the Goodies since the original series. I read once that  they have never been shown on British TV since the seventies. Is that right?

Porridge, isn't that what you have for breakfast  :?:

And the goodies are coming on the 25th, so the kids keep telling me, brought by a big bloke dressed in red  :lol:

MEDIA RELEASE

December 7, 2004

The Goodies … British Comedy Legends Go LIVE in Australia! ….Tim, Bill and Graeme live up to their catchphrase “We go anywhere anytime!”

Legendary British comedy trio The Goodies will appear live in their first ever touring stage show at Sydney's Big Laugh Comedy Festival in March 2005.

The most-loved and prolific of all the UK’s great comedians, The Goodies - Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Graeme Garden – are creating a live show which will have its world premiere at The Big Laugh 2005.

The Goodies will open the Big Laugh Comedy Festival at the Riverside Theatres at Parramatta on March 3, and at State Theatre on March 4 and 5, and will also play in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane.

Their show will be a heady and hilarious mix of insights and reminiscences, sketches and clips with tall tales, audience talkback and possibly explosions.

It will include Goodies bits banned by ABC TV, The Funky Gibbon sung live, sketches from the student revue that took Tim, Bill and Graeme to Broadway (and New Zealand - but never Australia), on stage trandem riding (subject to insurance) and Tim’s Union Jack waistcoat. There will be a Goodies question time and the Goodies will sign programs at every show.

The Goodies will perform in Sydney on March 3, 4 and 5; in Melbourne on March 8; in Canberra on March 10 and in Brisbane on March 11.

Tickets to The Goodies Live go on sale on December 13, through Ticketek (www.ticketek.com.au, ph: 02 9266 4800) and the Riverside Theatres (www.riversideparramatta.com.au, ph: 02 8839 3399

Lets hope they bring it to England.
