Tim visits his great ( and fabulously rich ) Uncle Butcher at Tally-Ho Towers. Scenting money in the air, Bill and Graeme go with him. Uncle Butcher looks like Jimmy Edwards, walks side-saddle and is obsessed by fox hunting. During a hunt, he drops dead, so the Goodies mount his head on a wall in the study. Tim inherits the family estate - which he plans to turn into a fox hunters' paradise. The others get jobs as domestic servants, hoping to restore his personality...
Tim Brooke-Taylor plays two roles - 'Tim' and 'Uncle Butcher'. As soon as he inherits the estate, he changes into a parody of his uncle. Thirty years before the ban on fox hunting, 'The Goodies' called for it by portraying its exponents as overweight, drunken cretins with too much time on their hands. They weren't finished with them either; the opening scene of the Season Seven episode 'Dodonuts' similarly ridicules the gentry.
Funniest scene - Tim receiving aversion therapy to fox hunting.
GRAEME: Do you like fox hunting?
TIM: Yes.
