RIP Tim Brooke Taylor
This wretched virus had taken away one of our beloved Goodies. RIP Tim
shareI’m truly saddened. The Goodies were part of my childhood.
sharethe goodies used to get played on canadian tv after school back in the 70s. they were a very big deal to us as kids. i'd love to go back and watch all of it again. i think there are some eps floating around on yt. i'll try to track some down and watch a bit tonight before i turn in.
shareI don"t remember this one at all. I do remember On The Buses, The Two Ronnies and Fawlty Towers.
sharethey were a mainstay of cbc afterschool programming for a few years. would have been around 78, 79 i believe. it's possible that it might have only played regionally, i guess, though i'd be a bit surprised if that was the case.
just looked it up - it was national.
"In Canada, the series was shown in on the CBC national broadcast network during the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the traditional "after school" time slot, later a Friday night 10 pm slot, and occasionally in a midnight slot. Several episodes were also shown on the CTV Television Network. In the mid-1970s it was shown on TVOntario on Saturday evenings, repeated on Thursday evenings, until being replaced by Doctor Who in 1976. "
