Used to love The Goodies. Has it been on again? If not, when is it?
Wonder if this is true saying as it is on Wiki?
Fatal effect
On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, literally died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies. According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a black pudding-wielding Bill Oddie (master of the ancient Lancastrian martial art "Ecky-Thump") in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of "Hoots-Toot-ochaye." After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the settee and died from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant

Isn't there a shoulder missing you somewhere 
That said - I used to enjoy the Goodies when I was about 4 years old, I think I'd find it childish now because I'm all grown up and serious!
What age were YOU when you woke up and realised you were now all about being grown up and sensible? 20's 30's 40's 50's - Never?
That Question is to everyone - not just Chip!!!
