Thanks to Andrew Pixley for posting the following info in the forums:

At the HEW Awards for the home entertainment industry held last week, “The Goodies: The Complete LWT Series” was joint winner of the Comedy category for Network alongside “The Mighty Boosh 3” from 2|entertain.  The other nominees were “Alan Carr: Tooth Fairy” from Universal/DGP and “Fonejacker: Series 1” from 4DVD/Pavement.

The brochure remarked, “The calibre of entrants in this year’s comedy section proved so strong that it was difficult to choose an overall winner. So difficult in fact, that the judges literally could not single one winner out – so they chose two: The Mighty Boosh and the Goodies.

“Network’s DVD’s The Complete Goodies LWT Series proved equally impressive. The hilarious trio comprising of Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor captivated audiences in the ‘70s with their offbeat humour. The judges praised the “good use of footage” and “incredible extras”.

“Lead agency was Network (Sound and Media Ltd), the in-house authoring studio of Network DVD, who sources some of the best available versions of the original LWT episodes to create this excellent package.”

Congratulations to Tim Beddows and his team at Network for this win.

The club joins Andrew in congratulating the wonderful team at Network on their award!
