Lips, or Almighty Cod is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.

[edit] Plot

Tim is fishing in the lake for Graeme's fish farm when a trawler arrives. Tim waves a welcome to the crew, and is upset when the crew are unfriendly in return. When Tim returns to the fish farm, it is found that the ship's crew are Eskimos, who have arrived in Britain to take Cod back home to make fish fingers.

To get rid of the intruders, the Graeme, Bill and Tim throw cod at the fishermen — they run out of cod, but the Eskimos are delighted with their bumper-sized 'catch' from the Goodies' hands.

To restock their cod supplies at the fish farm, Tim, Bill and Graeme travel to the Iceland, where they pretend to be visiting members of the MCC. After catching a single cod, they return home to Cricklewood, where Graeme proceeds to raise the cod as a pet. The cod ends up being an enormous sized one.

The Eskimos return to Britain and the Goodies try to think of a way to discourage them. After Graeme discovers that a recording of Max Bygraves singing "Tulips from Amsterdam" makes the goldfish lash about with anger, he experiments with the giant cod. The experiment works and the giant cod then accidentally swallows the gramaphone and the record, which Graeme has thrown into the water. After arming the cod with an enormous set of false teeth, Graeme lets the cod escape from the fish farm, so that the cod can scare off the Eskimo fishermen, but the cod chases after Tim and Bill instead.

In its frenzy to get rid of the voice singing inside it, the cod accidentally bumps into the wharf, leading to a truly explosive situation.
