You have to be a certain age and British to remember the Goodies. I got my Dad their DVDs. They were even in the charts: Funky Gibbon, can't remember the others. Good family viewing back in the day when you had one tv (and maybe a portable for the kitchen), not one tv per person, and one for the house.

The Goodies were one of the most traumatic moments of my childhood.
One Christmas (I was around 4 or 5) my parents had been hyping up the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (easy there girls, not the porn version)
The goodies were on before, and their last sketch of the show involved building a bonfire around the base of a TV transmitter and setting it on fire, with the last scene being just static.....

I was convinced they had burned down the TV transmitter, and was inconsolable that the film my parents had been hyping up all week, wasn't going to be on.....
