    Why don't they ever repeat them? I remember them being hillarious (although I was quite little) like the outbreak of Rolf Harris's.

    Easily as funny as Monty Python that sometimes get's repeated to death.

    Must be a British thing. I've never heard of "The Goodies".

    Like Dutchie, I never heard of 'The Goodies'.

    However, I found 'Dave Allen At Large' quite hilarious!

    Yeah, Dave Allen is fantastic - esp. his stuff about his Catholic upbringing.

    Hey, Simon.

    Can you ontain any video tapes of Dave Allen for me?
    I haven't seen reruns of his show since the 80's.

    Hi Mister Biggs

    You can order them from Amazon.co.uk, I couldnt find them on the .com site though. I think they ship to US, but the format will probably be PAL.

    My favourite was the Sound of music sketch where Julie Andrews is shot with a bow and arrow.

    The 3 on the tandem was good too.

    lol....Simon you are far too young for nostalgia to grip you.

    Tim Brook-Taylor ( the 'Teapot' ) is featured on Radio 4's - 'Sorry I Haven't A Clue' which you mentioned recently, and must be heard at least once before you die. One of the most witty and sophisticated comedy shows ever.

    Thanks for the tip, Angharad.

    Yes, "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" is THE funniest thing and beats anything on TV.

    I just wonder why they never show them or even mention them. It's like they have been completely forgotten which is a shame as they were brilliant.

    Yes, the Julie andrews one was good. I also liked the plague of Rolf Harris's. Didn't they do a jack and the Beanstalk one as well?
