I can corroborate your story (at least, the part about the CBC airing "The Goodies" during the 1970s).



I remember rushing home from school (Grade 1 or 2, I think, so it would have been 1976 or 1977), to watch "The Goodies" on the CBC.  It must have had a permanent effect on me, because, years later, I wrote a (sadly, unproduced) comedy series, in which a character would brain another character with a kobassa (a coiled sausage, resembling a black pudding, but larger and pink) in every episode.  For comedy's sake, I redesigned the kobassa as a long, straight sausage.  I'd always thought my idea was my own...until I saw "Kung Fu Kapers" on the Goodies DVD. 



As soon as I saw people being brained with re-designed long, straight black puddings, I realized that I must have seen "Kung Fu Kapers" all those years ago, and that the idea had tucked itself away in the vast filing cabinet of my mind, where it sat, forgotten, until that late night writing session when my high-school friend, Mokey, and I created "Ethnic Cookery with Olga & Stasha Yukchuksky".



Incidentally, the CBC's website (www.cbc.ca) contains a log of all the series that ever aired on the network.  And it does indeed list "The Goodies".

Wayyyy back during the 1970s (maybe some of you weren't born then) there was a year in which there were were mass quantities of solar activity. I picked up (for the first and only time) a CBC-TV station from Nova Scotia (I was living in Pennsylvania at the time), and it was broadcasting...



NO.



YES.





The Goodies!



Yes.



Specifically it was running the Rolf Harris episode ("Biting the babies in their prams" was especially funny). Now I want to buy a Stylophone; partly because Rolf tried to elevate it to musical status and partly because Kraftwerk once used it. But that station only appeared for that afternoon and never appeared again.
