Here's a description of the show from the press release:
The Goodies are back and touring the UK with their hit show, The Goodies Still Rule OK!, a celebration of one of the most popular TV comedy series of the 1970s. The show, which received rave reviews at The Edinburgh Festival last Summer and sold out two tours in Australia, stars comic legends Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden. Due to filming commitments, the third member of the trio, Bill Oddie will beam his performance to the venues via the wonders of digital technology.
The Goodies were an integral part of the remarkable explosion of British comedy talent during the 1970s. Blending reminiscences with ridiculousness, The Goodies Still Rule OK! offers a chance to hang out with Tim and Graeme, enjoy cyber-Bill and share with them their favourite sketches, video clips and behind the scenes tales.
The Goodies Still Rule OK! will include the Goodies’ filthy bits banned by Australian TV, sketches from the student revue that took them to Broadway, Tim’s Union Jack Waistcoat and quite possibly a few explosions (insurance pending!). With all new exclusive footage of Bill Oddie, the audience have the bonus of a rare sighting of the Lesser Tutted Scruff Pot after being returned to the wild.
