GOODIES-L, the mailing list devoted to the world of "The Goodies"!

The mailing list GOODIES-L was created in September 1995 and is devoted to discussion of the "The Goodies," a British comedy television program which first aired in 1970 (BBC). The last episode aired in 1982 (LWT). In the U.S., it was picked up by various PBS stations across the country and shown in the '70s and '80s.

Topics for discussion might be: trivia about the show, information on the cast, debate about various aspects of the show, and questions related to the show. This is a place to share, learn, and of course, to have fun.

However, please note that tape-trading and offering to make videotapes in return for monetary compensation is NOT allowed on the mailing list.
