South Africa is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.
This episode is also known as "Apartheight" and as "A South African Adventure".
[edit] Plot
The Goodies make an advertisement for South Africa. However, the South African Tourist Agent is unhappy with what they have done.
The enranged agent forces the Goodies to emigrate to South Africa, where the old segregation of apartheid is replaced by the new segregation of apartheight (apart-height). Tim and Graeme are tall enough not to be affected — but Bill is not quite tall enough. Bill, and the South African jockeys, are now treated as the second class citizens of South Africa, and are put under curfew. Bill is also forced to work for Tim and Graeme, who both take full advantage of Bill's newly disadvantaged position and treat him like a slave. Bill takes charge of the situation, and he and the jockeys eventually win out against their 'masters'.
The Goodies return to Britain — but the Britain they return to is vastly different from the Britain they had left behind just a short time before.
