Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden join Janice Forsyth to celebrate 40 years of The Goodies.

Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden join Janice Forsyth to celebrate 40 years of the surreal slapstick 1970s hit show.

"The Goodies... goodie-goodie-yum-yum..." Sing the theme tune to this surreal '70's hit and you'll be instantly transported back to the TV series which made madcap slapstick must-see weekly viewing for the whole family. With posh Tim, technophile Graeme, and flat-capped Bill, the trio worked as an agency offering to do "anything, anywhere, anytime" with whacky - and often witty - results. Now as the show reaches its 40th anniversary we're joined by Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden to reminisce on the remarkable success of their comedy creation. 

Two boys, one goal: concert piano stardom. In the age of reality shows promising anyone the chance to achieve their wildest dreams this timely production from piano playing comedy duo Katzenjammer (Kevin Farrell and Steven Worbey) examines with humour and pathos what happens when it's time to let the dream go. "2 Pianos 4 Hands" is a comedy with music about a lifetime's obsession with 88 keys.
