| Plot |
| Disc 1Tower Of LondonThe Goodies' first assignment is to find out who is stealing the Beefeaters' beef - and more importantly, why? To steal the crown jewels is the answer, but when the Goodies set a trap, the burglar turns out to be the last person they'd suspect.Gender EducationMrs. Desiree Carthorse asks the Goodies to produce a "Gender Education Film", but dismisses it as too rude with-out even watching it (her usual practice). Bill rebels against the sheer niceness of it all and begins producing video nasties for the BBC - until he blows up for the BBC Television Centre.Kitten KongMontruex '72 SpecialThe Goodies are running a veterinary clinic, and Graeme develops a super pet food to boost the animals' health - and the size of a hitherto harmless fluffy little kitten.Goodies and the BeanstalkCricklewood, 1973: Poverty stricken, the Goodies sell their tandem for a tin of beans - which, when planted, grows into a giant beanstalk leading up Mt Evererst to the giant's castle where golden eggs are laid. But before the Goodies can become rich, they must battle with the giant.Disc 2Kung Fu KapersBill reveals he is a master of the ancient Lancashire martial art of Ecky-Thump. The effectiveness of Echky-Thump leads to a craze sweeping the nation, which Bill intends to exploit by taking over Parliament. The only way to stop him is by adding remote control his secret weapon - black puddings.Lighthouse Keeping LooniesThe Goodies are employed for a little light house keeping, and are subsequently stranded in a lighthouse. When they run out of oil for the lamp they dig for some - and send the lighthouse into orbit.EarthanasiaTo solve the world's problems, it is agreed to blow it up at midnight on Christmas Eve. The Goodies spend their last minutes trying to terms with their inner feelings, skateboards, Jane Fonda and childhood regression.Saturday Night GreaseTim is locked up after touching a woman at a disco, against the no mixed dancing rules. Bill's Disco Billus (so exclusive that there are no patrons) runs a mixed dancing competition so that, as there will be no competitors, the prize money put up by the BBC will default to Bill. But the BBC is hangings onto the money, so Tim is bailed out to win the prize for him. |
