The Goodies go to the movies and they bagged a Silver Rose award.
The Goodies want to save the British film industry by purchasing a film studio. Their next step is to fire the directors for making boring or extremely pretentious films. Death in Bognor riffs Death in Venice.
However the trio cannot agree to make a movie so they each make one separately.
Tim makes a Biblical epic, Graeme a violent Western and Bill a silent black and white comedy. Only for all three movies to collide and combine.
The Movies is in essence a parody, a pastiche, a visual treat and a love letter to the kind of movies that The Goodies would have seen while growing up.
You have to admire the inventiveness and it also takes a dig at the state of the British film industry in the 1970s.
