List of The Goodies episodes

The End was an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.

This episode is also known as "Encased in Concrete".

[edit] Plot

The Goodies's office accidentally gets completely covered in concrete. The intention is to save them, but gradually all their utility services are discontinued, including the telephone, which is disconnected because they are not able to leave the office to pay their account. Then, later, when the nation is in the grip of poverty, the BBC cuts back their services by 100%, and the ending of television broadcasts means that the Goodies are cut off entirely from the outside world.

When they are almost out of food, Tim and Graeme decide that Bill should 'provide' for them. Bill, who is totally unaware of the plans against him, comes up with a solution which helps, and his life is saved.

The years pass, and the Goodies grow old, and they begin suffering from hallucinations. While Tim and Graeme show their ages, Bill never seems to change — he seems to be forever young.

A rescue team finally arrives to rescue the Goodies — space suited Goodies from the future, but, when there is a cave-in the new Goodies also experience difficulties.
