The Goodies is a surreal British television comedy series of the 1970s and early 1980s.

The series, which combines sketches and situation comedy, was shown during prime time, and is popular with all ages. The show was co-created and co-written by Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Bill Oddie, who also all starred in it. Bill Oddie wrote the music for the series — while "The Goodies Theme" was co-written by Bill Oddie and Michael Gibbs.

The directors/producers of The Goodies series were John Howard Davies, Jim Franklin and Bob Spiers.

The television series was made by the BBC 2[1] from 1970 to 1980 — and was then made by the ITV company LWT from 1981 to 1982.

An early title which was considered for the series was "Narrow Your Mind".
