Good ol' Timbo. Peace to you.

That Yorkshiremen sketch with Tim and Marty Feldman is the definitive version. Monty Python never did it better.

Here's a tribute to his Goodies days:

Alas. I quite liked The Goodies.

R.I.P., Tim.

R.I.P., Tim, and thanks for all the laughs.

Bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2uv92d
Spoiler: show
Three brave men went searching for a fortune in the west
Now they faced each other in the dawn
The finale of their dream in the land of clotted cream
Turned against their fellows by their lust for jam and scones (scōnes)

Men call him wild Bill Odie and his friend was Texas Tim
They walked tall with their tomatoes in their hand
Their foe was greedy Graeme, who felt sure that he could slay 'em.
With his pair of red, ripe squirters - the fastest in the land.

On and on strode Graeme, on and on strode Bill and Tim
'Til at last they stood there silent, face to faces
Then Graeme softly spoke, and he pulled his masterstroke
By suggesting that they turn their backs and walk 11 paces

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, . . . 11

All hell broke loose in Pennenink no citizen was safe
With Graeme's 'matoes blazzing fit to bust
And nobody can say how much sauce was spilt that day
But by the end those two great men were lying in the dust.

His chums lay in the ketchup, and his gal ran to his arms
But even as they kissed she met her doom
For if you double-cross a friend you'll get squirted in the end
At the bun fight at the OK tea rooms

Bun fight at the OK tea rooms.


Hilarious. (The whole episode was funny, but all I found was the end - the bun fight.

Nope, here's the whole episode.

"If you double-cross a friend, you'll get squirted in the end" is an immortal line. My brother and I loved this show so much.

R.I.P. Tim. I know he never did get his O.B.E. but he deserved to have done.

I had to watch The Goodies episode The End (season 5, episode 13) where they get trapped in their office when a giant concrete structure is poured around it. A lot of great lines in that one, but my favorite is when, after they realize that they are trapped permanently, and Tim become distraught that he'll never be able to have children...

Tim: "But...but...a man isn't a man unless he exercises his right to fatherhood."
Bill: "You can exercise it all you like, mate, but you won't find any use for it now."

-----------------

Also from that episode...

Graeme: "This is good, political discussion, a healthy thing."
Bill: "This isn't political discussion, we're just shouting at one another."
Graeme: "Same thing."

-------------

Tim: "Pay no attention to him. He's pissed."
Graeme: "Has he?"
Tim: "Yes."

------------

And, after the food has run out, Tim and Graeme have decided to eat Bill...

Graeme: "Well, go on, you better get on with it."
Tim: "What?"
Graeme: "You'd better..." [Makes slashing motion across throat]
Tim: "But...I thought you were going to..." [Makes slashing motion across throat]
Graeme: "No, no... I'm doing the sauce."

(And that was after the Gilbert the mouse bit)

And lots of others. Great episode.

Yeah, really annoyed when The Complete Goodies disk set came out that there was no U.S. release.
