Venue: Watershed Cinema, Bristol (Box Office 0117 927 5100)

For more than a decade The Goodies were a national comedy phenomenon and one of our most loved comedy teams. 

The Goodies TV show attracted viewing figures almost unimaginable today (over 20million on their specials) and they became a household name and bone fide pop stars .

From 1970 until 1982 their anarchic visual humour and insightful scripts delighted audiences young and old and though the series was never repeated in the UK the shows have once again been a attracting new generations with the release of three fast selling DVD releases.

On the eve of their 40th Anniversary Tim, Bill and Graeme join Sir Christopher Frayling to discuss and  celebrate their unique comic creations and to receive the award for Excellence In Visual Comedy from Aardman Animations and Bristol’s Slapstick Festival.  Join us for this unique trip down memory lane with three of Britain’s best loved comic performers.

UPDATE (17 Sept 2010):
The event is now up on the Bristol Silent's website:
