Also very funny in his younger days, as one of the Goodies. Was a must-watch when i was a kid.

Couldn't stand him or the Goodies. Just not funny.

I thought The Goodies version of Wild Thing was excellent and the accompanying video is hilarious although probably not particularly PC in the current miserable WOKE times we find ourselves in.

you've said what I was a bit afraid to say , i didn't ever find anything to laugh at in the goodies thought it was dreadful . But his path lead on to better things . I hope he never suffered .
