Seems looks like a convenient way of scheduling a 6 part series in one week, however Saturday's is from August 1981, Monday's and Tuesday's is from June 2000, Wednesday and Thursday's is from November 2000 and Friday's is from June 2001. Hopefully they will carry on digging back to the older episodes next time round.

| Goodies DVD rumors |
more from same (The Goodies) |
Rumors are circulating that Goodies DVDs are due to be released within the next few months. While we'd love for this to be true, the truth is that a company called Network Videos is looking into releasing Goodies DVDs but nothing is final at this point. The earliest these discs would be released is sometime in 2003. (Please see the full report in Clarion & Globe issue #80.) We'll post updates to the site when they become available.

Duncan Lilly reported the following on the goodies-l mailing list:
Tim is the subject of next weeks(the edition on sale next week, not the one currently available that covers next weeks listings) TV C.V. section in the Radio Times (inside back cover) - which presumably means he's on TV in something too, since it's basically a way to promote a new show.
