Rock Goodies
Another episode that demonstrates how inventive the Goodies were. The bad language and some gay slurs again show that this was aimed higher than kids and for its era.
I doubt I would had got the lampooning of the ITV show Rock Follies back in 1977. That's how it starts out before going punk.
Once again it is Tim Brooke-Taylor who is literally the straight man. Even television presenters Michael Barratt and Patrick Moore become punks.
There is a nice reversal of the infamous Bill Grundy interview with the Sex Pistols.
In the end Tim wants to just make out with journalist Caroline Kook (Jane Asher) as Graeme and Bill look for the next big trend that will shock people.
Not as good as the previous episodes in this series only because such a high bar had been set.
