The Goodies fancy a nice holiday in Penrudden Cove, Cornwall. They find it strangely deserted, except for one dotty old vicar. The British army has evacuated the area, planning on using it as a testing site for a new missile. The Goodies aren't having that, so they break into the barracks and alter the blueprints so that a new children's playground gets built instead...
One can easily see why 'The Goodies' was immensely popular with the young. 'Love The Police' made fools of the boys in blue, here the military gets it in the neck. George Benson who plays the vicar ( not Richard Caldicot, as listed above ) was in the delightful British comedy short 'A Home Of Your Own', while Timothy Carlton was the unctuous chat-show host 'Colin Pillock' in the second series of 'The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin'.
Interestingly, no attempt is made to justify the military's actions on patriotic grounds. Its assumed ( probably rightly ) that the audience is broadly sympathetic to the Goodies' environmentalist aims. Whatever, its nice to see them working for themselves for once. Shame about the woman taking her clothes off to distract the missile experts though.
Funniest moment - soldiers beating a hasty retreat as the Goodies pelt them with eggs!
