After Tim, Graeme and Bill had finished the second series of Broaden Your Mind they were asked/ decided to come up with something different for a TV show. Originally under the working title of 'Narrow Your Mind', the three guys soon devised the Goodies TV show.
Unsatisfied with the working title, they started to think of a different name for the show (which really is the hardest part) and settled upon the name 'Superchaps 3' because they were great men and there were 3 of them. Luckily one of them woke up in the middle of the night thinking that 'The Goodies' was a better name.
With a motto like We'll Do Anything, Anytime. I would forgive you for getting the wrong impression!
The Goodies is a TV show about three self employed friends who live together and become involved in a variety of adventures when they are (usually) hired to undertake a task. The fact that they are three guys does not hold them back as they all, although it's more likely to be Tim, will step in as a female when required.
The show can be viewed on a variety levels including; at face value the Goodies appears very silly and also cartoon like (hence it's appeal to the younger children), the very subtle innuendo level (and the not so subtle) and the serious level where, if you dissect the show, you will realise that it is very cleverly written incorporating serious (and odd) issues of the 70s; many of which are very much relevant still today.
There are now 3 DVDs you can buy from all good suppliers and you can also buy some of the Goodies Annuals and more unusual memorabilia on sites like ebay.

The good news is that you can and send the letter via their agents.

Good question. We don't know the answer either - so we've started a campaign to try to raise awareness of the potential audience the BBC are missing out on. It really makes no sense about why there aren't repeats.
