The Goodies that vividly sticks in my memory is the one where they emigrate to South Africa, all the black people leave the country, so the rest of the South Africans, including the rest of the Goodies, start opressing short people, including Bill (I think), who leads a revolt. And at the end, they get back to England and all South African immigrants are in charge now.
I also remember the image of a battlefield of soldier babies crawling in formation that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life, but can't remember the context (I don't THINK it was the same episode). Sadly, I only got to catch a few episodes before it moved to too late at night for me to be able to stay up.
OMG. I just added another $100 to my Amazon shopping cart of the cutest kids books. Two of them about stinky dogs, a couple about monsters, and one or two about being grumpy.
CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!
Thanks all for the recommendations.
Uh oh. If Allyson's been possessed by cuteness, none of us are safe then.
We're all doomed. Doooomed, I tell you!
That happens when the magic escapes the spleen.

Different forces, same effect: me, too. I missed them the first time round (by the simple device of being born too late) and am so far failing to catch them in repeats, mainly because they aren't repeated very often. Unlike Python.
I thought that was bile.
Some children's books have exactly that effect on me, actually.

A not uncommon misconception.
In certain lights they ARE hard to tell apart.
Frankenbuddha, I have the
Yes, Minister
and
Yes, Prime Minister
DVDs, if you want to borrow them.

dcp, Thank You! That's a generous offer, but I was sorta joking/sorta wistful. The sad truth is I've got too much stuff on DVD I haven't gotten to yet that I own as it is. If I borrower them, they'd just sit around. I really long for the days when I seemed to have enough time to go see three movies and watch 7 episodes of good television. Which I probably never did as much as I thought I did (if at all), but it's a good memory, so I'll keep it.
But, seriously, thank you.
If I remember correctly, part of the episode includes Gay Boys in Bondage presented as one of Gilliam's inimitable animations.
Y'know, somebody's gonna turn that into a musical.
