The Goodies (1970)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘The Goodies’, a situation comedy series created by and starring Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor, which ran from 1970 to 1980 on the BBC, before transferring with less success to London Weekend Television until 1982. The wacky sketch format which the trio developed for the programmes is evident in these titles for their first series in its use of special effects, stop-frame filming, speeded-up live action and their signature ‘Trandem’ cycle made for three.
