Notice how articles always have a different number of Goodies episodes? My favorite was the typo from the press releases for some of the earlier Goodies tours, which I think put the number of episodes at 178. '

umm, actually I think the forthcoming series will be the 49th...
Nitpicking aside, it's a nice article. |
Yes, I did notice that someone obviously didn't do his research properly! I'm off to London for a week with work and I doubt very much I'll have internet access so they'll be no new articles off me for a little bit. Sorry! I'll catch up when I get back and put up any that haven't already been found by the lovely Lisa or anyone else. |

Another article about Tim from yesterdays Eastbourne Herald.

HEADLINE: Reunion for Tim of The Goodies
TIM BROOKE-TAYLOR renewed friendship links formed more than 45 years ago when he was in Eastbourne to appear at the Congress Theatre with Graeme Garden in The Goodies Still Rule OK!
Tim and retired Eastbourne solicitor Christopher Metcalfe met at Pembroke College, Cambridge, when they were both members of the college drama society, The Pembroke Players.
"Pembroke Players toured Germany with As You Like It, playing twice a day at some 20 venues. Later Tim and I separately joined the famous Footlights Club in 1961," Christopher said.
"Tim was a year behind me at university. His talents flourished in the Footlights and the year after I left he became president.
"Tim, John Cleese, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Graham Chapman and others performed in a revue, Cambridge Circus, in 1963 which transferred to the West End and eventually to Broadway."
Tim Brooke-Taylor went on to appear in Me and My Girl, At Last the 1948 Show and more than 90 Goodies programmes.
He has recently completed the 25th series of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
Although their paths divided - Christopher studied law and only recently returned to the stage with Eastbourne Operatic and Dramatic
Society - they have remained friends.
During Tim's stay in Eastbourne, the two friends did lots of catching up and Tim Brooke-Taylor was interested to hear that EODS celebrates its centenary this year.
"I wish the society the very best of luck and success with its productions during 2007," said Tim. |
