Featured review
Cecily
The Goodies are out of work and they take up employment to care for a young girl called Cecily.
Tim is the nanny, Bill is the cook and Graeme is the gardner. All three seem to be unprepared for housekeeping duties. Graeme's weedkiller is a mallet and the weed seems to be pervasive.
Bill meanwhile uses a record player to spin his dough and ends up making some pottery from the dough.
It is Tim who catches something disturbing when he goes to see Cecily. The skeletal remains of the previous nanny.
Cecily tells the Goodies that she likes all her nannies but they end up dead. Her creepy aunt and uncle are after her inheritance. The Goodies have no option but to help Cecily escape.
If the first half of the episode was a runaround romp, especially Graeme trying to weed while Tim falls into the pond as he is blown away by the kite. A segment used in the opening titles.
The second half is more psycho inspired. Certainly with haunted house type scares. There seems to be genuine fear about, no wonder the Goodies do not want to hang about but there is one more twist.
The first series was a work in progress and this is certainly a different type of a Goodies episode.
