[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Goodies give a live music concert, on stage, and dress appropriately for each of the songs.

Included in the concert are the Goodies' hit songs "Funky Gibbon" and "In-Betweenies", as well as an excellent rendition of The Troggs' hit song "Wild Thing" among others.

Other songs included in the concert are "That Good Old Country Music", "Cactus in My Y-fronts", "Nappy Love", "Bounce", "The Last Dance" and "Black Pudding Bertha" (their Ecky Thump song).

The Goodies also appear as "Pan's Grannies".

[edit] Trivia

  • This episode was the Goodies' only live music concert episode during the whole series.
  • The Goodies' "Pan's Grannies" are obviously based on the dance group Pan's People
