A Walk in the Black Forest - The Goodies Podcast

Episode 10 - The End

Our journey comes to a conclusion with this, an episode loved by all. 'The End" is of course the much loved show where The Goodies are encased in a concrete block for 70 years. It is with much pleasure, and a hint of sadness that we welcome you, our listener, to our final podcast of the series. You may well be a teapot after this one…

Episode 9 - Scoutrageous

Make sure your woggle is in order, because tonight we pull apart Scoutrageous for your listening pleasure. Our latest (And penultimate) episode is laden with scouty goodness, brown trousers and a few creative differences. Sit back and enjoy our take on this Goodies classic.

Episode 8 - Lighthouse Keeping Loonies

Our eighth episode has landed, and Jim attempts to explain the inner workings of this fabulous episode. The boys have signed up for some ‘Light Housekeeping’ but things, as so often happens with The Goodies, don’t go to to plan when they find themselves actually doing some ‘Lighthouse Keeping’ (Did you see what I did there...?) The episode features lots of round things, rogue ships, a rocket, a single mump and a royal visit. Explore Lighthouse Keeping Loonies with us.

Episode 7 - Kitten Kong

In our seventh episode, Fiona leads us on an exploration through one of the most iconic Goodies episodes of all time with multiple images from the show having been used in the opening credits for the entire run of the BBC version of the show. Theres lots of looney animals, including a very feisty bush-baby, an escaped tortoise, and a very, very large kitten!! Please join Fiona, Jim, Lea-Ann, Paul, Bargearse and Todd as we bring you our unique take on one of our all-time favourites Kitten Kong.

Episode 6 - Bunfight at the OK Tea Rooms

In this episode we examine one of the most recognised, and most loved of all the Goodies episodes. Bunfight at the OK Tea Rooms. We pull back the many layers of this all time classic and even expose a hidden gem. Join Jim, Lea-Ann, Paul, Fiona and Todd as they bring you one of the best.

Episode 5 - Wacky Wales

This episode has proven to be one of the more polarising offerings from The Goodies. Some people love it, and other people… not so much. We pull apart the episode and discover the hidden themes buried deep within the writing. Central to the episode is the masterful performance of the late, great Jon Pertwee having just completed his final season of Doctor Who. Grab your Brillo Pad and join us as we look in detail at Wacky Wales.

Episode 4 - Kung Fu Kapers - (Ecky Thump)

One of the most recognisable episodes of the entire Goodies catalogue is Kung Fu Kapers, or some will know it by it’s alternative name Ecky Thump. Jim, Fiona, Todd and our special guest Lea-Ann take us on a journey back to the 1970's and to Kung Fu Kapers with only the sustenance of black pudding and a warm chip butty. Grab your flute and enjoy the journey with us...

Episode 3 - Radio Goodies

In our first regular episode Fiona, Jim, Todd and Paul examine the seventh and final episode of The Goodies premiere season: Radio Goodies.

We guarantee that by the end of it you’ll be singing along with us!! Listen to Radio Goodies…… Boom.
