This article has been created especially for the television series, in a similar way to the article for Monty Python’s Flying Circus television series being a separate article from the article for the Monty Python team.
I have transferred some information concerning the television series from the main article page for The Goodies, but, unfortunately, the credits for the people who wrote the transferred sections could not be transferred with the information they supplied. The acknowledgements and credits for their edits and donations of information will, however, continue to remain in connection with the main article. I hope that this is okay.

A few of the episodes are known by alternative names (eg Caught in the Act is also known as The Playgirl Club), should we list these alternatives as well? Clair 05:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me failry obvious that the reason that the series hasn't been repeated was the regretable decision to film the non-studio inserts in appallingly grainy 16mm colour stock which, when shown on especially clear digital broadcast media, is painful to watch. (80.177.29.70)
They have however been able to clean up the episodes that were released on dvd to a considerable degree...improving the quality a great deal. This could be done for the rest of the episodes. Clair 06:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Season or series? In England radio and TV program runs are series; in America they're seasons. Should the word "Season" in the episode guide be changed to "Series"? Am I being pointlessly pedantic? Wocky 15:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I have transferred the section for The Goodies episodes to its own page — List of The Goodies episodes. Figaro 15:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to put together individual pages for each of the episodes, with episode stills as well, starting with 'Tower of London'. Things might be a little out of wack until I figure out how to use the infobox templates. Any help in the meantime would be much appreciated. Wish me luck! -- Modeset 22:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'm having some success. I can't work out how to let the alternate title be displayed, and I have to work out also how to create a sub infobox with a listing of the other season 1 episodes. When I say 'work out' I really mean 'work out'. The only way I've gotten this far is by using other infoboxes as templates. So far so good though! -- Modeset 00:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Righteo, the infobox is pretty much done. The sub-infobox (containing the episode listings) are done for Series 1, and will need to be done for all series seperately - that's the way it works. One thing I couldn't figure out is how to add the option of listing 'alternate titles' for episodes into the infobox. I couldn't figure out the coding for it. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will come along and throw it in. But in the meantime... 'yay, The Goodies episode have an infobox' :) -- Modeset 00:41, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
According to the Treasure Hunt on the BBC website (here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt/missing/goodies.shtml) There have been, in the past, episodes of The Goodies that have been missing. As it is, there are some that only exist in black and white shoddy condition. Does anyone have any info about that?
And what's the deal with 'Wicked Waltzing'? Am I correct when I say that it came out on the UK DVDs in colour? In Australia we only got black and white. -- Modeset 12:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
As far as I'm aware, now that a reasonable colour version of Wicked Waltzing has turned up, the episodes that only exist in black and white are Commonwealth Games and Playgirl Club. Jodievdw 05:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
The titles of the Goodies episode pages (apart from one) are now in accordance with the recently published book "The Goodies Rule OK" by Robert Ross. As the book contains contributions by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, as well as a lot of information about the television series (including backgrounds of the episodes etc.), and also information about some of the guest stars who appeared in the television series, I thought that the episode titles contained in the book would be best to use (especially considering the number of alternative titles). The titles, which are now being used, also correspond with the titles given for the episodes on the two DVDs which have been released of the series by the Goodies in conjunction with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The single exception to the above is the title for the episode which I originally titled "Cunning Stunts" (which is also the title listed in the book for the episode). However, I changed the title to its alternative title of " Fleet Street Goodies" because of a very crude comment which was put in the episode's 'trivia' section, regarding the title "Cunning Stunts". My main reason for retaining the alternative title of "Fleet Street Goodies" is so that, hopefully, the page will not again be vandalised in such a manner.
There are now articles for all 74 of The Goodies episodes. Some of the episode pages have screen capture images in their episode infoboxes (which is great), with most of the images being supplied by Modeset. However, most of the episodes still have the DVD image in the infobox (and a CD image on " The Goodies – Almost Live" page). It would be good if all of the episodes can eventually have an appropriate screen capture image in each episode infobox. Figaro 08:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
This article seems to almost contain more material on Python than it does on the actual Goodies episodes! -- feline1 ( talk) 11:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:TheGoodies.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
