The Goodies Rule OK

by Robert Ross, Bill Oddie (Contributor), Graeme Garden (Contributor)

Throughout the 1970s, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie created the most imaginative, inventive and consistently hilarious television show around. They were the undisputed kings of comedy and are remembered today with huge nostalgic affection by a whole generation of 30- to 40- somethings. Fully endorsed by all three Goodies, "The Goodies Rule OK" recalls their earliest collaborations on stage and radio, then covers in detail their nine series of television classics. Tim, Graeme and Bill offer their own recollections on the creation of each series, providing a real insight into how they conquered the small screen in the 1970s, and why their legacy still stands tall today.

[Beau Johnston · Rating 4 out of 5]

A year-by-year and episode-by-episode guide to one of my favorite TV shows.

I really enjoyed the additional information about what was happening at the time. After reading the book I pulled out the DVDs and watched the show again with new eyes.

Love this book with details of all the episodes . Since there are still no tv repeats or even complete dvd releases it's the only way to enjoy the show .

It's a good book if you're into the history of the show. If you're looking for more and are new to the show, try the goodiesruleok website.
