Trivia

On 24 March 1975 Goodies fan Alex Mitchell died laughing while watching the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor uses a set of bagpipes to defend himself against Bill Oddie, Master of the ancient martial art "Ecky-Thump". After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell died from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant.

Season: Whole show  2  5  7  Specials  All

Kitten Kong (season 2, episode 7)

Mistake Revealing: When the Goodies are at the park with their animals, Graeme tries to teach his tortoise tricks. When the tortoise jumps, you can see the wire making it 'jump'.

Mistake Continuity: When Graeme tries to get out the mongoose, he puts on a black glove, but then comes out with a tattered, mauled one. While Graeme's hand is in the basket, you can see him exchange the gloves.

Mistake Continuity: Just after Bill puts a duck in the basket of looney animals, all these grey feathers come pouring out. But, the duck hasn't got any grey feathers, and there was nothing in the basket that had any.

Mistake Other: When Twinkle (the kitten) is up the tree, Tim starts to throw up sticks, and, as a result, a big log falls on him. The 'log' is plastic, and is a completely different colour from the rest of the tree.

Lighthouse Keeping Loonies AKA The Lighthouse Men (season 5, episode 8)

Mistake Factual error: The "oil" that spurts up from underground is far too thin to be oil.

South Africa AKA South African Adventure AKA Apartheight (season 5, episode 11)

Mistake Continuity: Bill falls into the swimming pool. There are no signs nearby. when we see a close up of Bill, when the camera goes up, it shows the policemen next to a sign.

The End AKA Encased in Concrete (season 5, episode 13)

Mistake Plot hole: The Goodies office is encased with concrete. The Goodies survive for over 75 years. How did they get enough air to survive all that time?

Earthanasia AKA The End of the World Show (season 7, episode 6)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Bill smashes the hole through the wall, a boom mic is visible at the top right of the screen.

Mistake Revealing: When Bill says "You certainly know how to hurt a man," and Tim responds by kneeing him in the groin, causing Bill to scream in pain. It's obvious that Tim doesn't actually come close to touching Bill.

The Goodies and the Beanstalk (season 99, episode 3)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the bath goes off the cliffs, you can see the string lifting it, so it is obviously on a crane.

Mistake Other: When Bill is running towards the castle, he drags Graeme and Tim. When Tim is trying to free himself, he chews on his rope. When Tim is freed, a different part of the rope than what Tim previously chewed opens.
