It's a great interview from a true fanboy and well worth a listen if this stuff resonates with you:-

"Surviving" members ? I thought they all were.

It's the joke Rich opens the interview with.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Second rate Monty Python for teenagers. Bill Oddie is also a strange, prickly man. Garden has been good on the radio though (Nicholas Parsonsy type programmes). It's a no from me.

Oddie's prickiliness makes the interview rather entertaining and difficult in equal measures.

Bill Oddie is also a strange, prickly man.

Might have something to do with him being bipolar.

The last time I saw Bill Oddie he was so drunk he couldn't speak, stand or hold his incredibly red face upright.
T'was in the Godolphin Hotel Hugh Town.

Well I absolutely loved The Goodies....
It’s very easy to look back at programs from the past and analysis these things to death.
As a kid it made me laugh at loud...

I enjoyed the Goodies...… but I know exactly what you mean.

It was all very daft, and the Country needs more daft.

This was like Del Boys bar fall scene for the 70's. Classic nonsense from the Goodies. Loved 'em.

We saw The Goodies live on stage in Tunbridge Wells some years back (minus Oddie, he didn't want to do it). Theatre was about a third full, but it was a really good night.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Saw Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden perform at the Fringe in Edinburgh about 15 years ago. Was a great hour or so as they reminisced about their time in the Goodies, there were quite a few jokes at Oddie's expense too as he wasn't there.

Could Bill really take a backward step after the huge success of the Saturday Banana?

 

[Meade's Ball]

I am trying to recollect when i first heard:
Bill Oddie
Bill Oddie
Put your hands all over my body

And also by who sang that version.

 

[symyjym]

It was Monty Python for kids.

 

[brakespear]

Loved The Goodies when I was growing up, also think Graeme Garden is good value as well in his panel shows and other areas.

We've got plenty of daft. The trouble is it's in charge!
