The more I thought about it, I am sure I saw the Rolf Harris bit on "The
Goodies". Extremely funny. So Mark, I do remember the Goodies and I
remember
it about 1974. Using one of the best Internet Resources
http://www.imdb.com
this is what I found:
Full Cast and Crew for "Goodies, The" (1970-1981)
Directed by
John Howard
Davies
Jim Franklin
(III)
Bob Spiers
Cast (in alphabetical order) verified as
complete
Tim Brooke-Taylor
Graeme Garden
Bill Oddie
The the Rolf Harris Episode is:
#41 Scatty Safari
AKA The Existance Of Rolf Harris (g) (huh?)
Series Five, Programme Six
1st BBC Transmission: 17 March 1975
BBC Project Number 98311
Television personalities are proving to be a less than popular attraction
at the Goodies' safari park, so they get a pair of Rolf Harrises to breed.
But the Rolf Harrises escape and breed far too well, reaching plague
proportions.
Show there you go. Way to much information of British Comdey and not
enough on
LBC. I start to work on my car tonight but it was way to hot.
Later,
