You have to applaud The Goodies for getting into progressive politics even though it is very much the 1970s style. It might have been different a decade later when alternative comedy took root.
Graeme has a glamorous girlfriend who might as well be a bimbo. Bill is not happy the way Graeme and Tim talk about women so he calls the Women's Liberation army HQ.
Barbara is sent to lick Graeme and Tim into shape. She takes them into her father's grand mansion as domestic servants. Graeme has an easy ride as a male butler. It is Tim dressed as a maid who is put upon. It is a life of drudgery for Tim.
Meanwhile Bill and Barbara fall in love and plan to get married. So does Graeme but to a computer with a female voice.
Only now Tim who thinks he is a liberated woman plans to disrupt the wedding.
Despite some of the blunt messaging, there are aspects ahead of its time. Graeme falling for a computer is not that far from the virtual world. Tim steps his toes into transgender.
The ad break makes fun out of package holidays to Spain. In those days the Costas were an extended building site.
