The Goodies series 9 opener 'Snow White 2' was chosen for J & J this week (thanks Steve and Megan) so they try to make the best of it, helped by news of the 2012 Slapstick event in Bristol.

Yes, Steve and Megan are back from their extended Christmas/New Year break and they're on the ball and ready for some Goodies Commentary brilliance.

Or are they?

Resorting to Plan C, they play Goodies Roulette, gambling on the chance they just might hit the jackpot.

But will they?

No matter where the ball lands,
Red or black,
You're sure to get a Commentary,
With a Goodies Sountrack!

Listen as our hosts let the fickle finger of Fate guide them to this week's Goody Good Goodies fun!

Where is the original Kitten Kong? We have no idea, but decide to look at the facts of the case.

It's a space-hopping London to Brighton trip with Jane and Jeffers, commenting on the charity bounce - and the great news that Graeme Garden is now on Twitter! @GraemeGarden1

Reviewing what The Goodies got up to in 2011 :)

All four of the GP's hosts get together for a live 1/2 hour Christmas chat :)

After a commentary for the series 7 opener Alternative Roots, Jeffers chats to The Saucy Gibbon's Jess Pickles about The Unbelievable Truth.

A fresh look at Jon Pertwee's gig on the Goodies, through the eyes of Mr Paul (Pharos Project) and two-thirds of Radio Free Skaro (Steven Schapansky and Chris Burgess!)

Jeffers and Steve have all the latest NEWS and there's a lot of it this week :) Timbo in a new pilot comedy, Bill on radio and live in person, ISIHAC and Hamish & Dougal, a vintage interview released by the East Anglia Film Archive, and more!

Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie... our comedy Gods. We are honored to know their comedic brilliance through The Goodies - the slapstick, the witty cutting remarks, the perfect set ups for the well-timed falls. But who influenced them? Who were the stars of their youth that they studied as they honed their own acting skills? Who are the Comedy Gods our Superchaps Three worship? And do those Gods still pack a punch today?

In this, the first of an infrequent series, we look back at the work of Buster Keaton, the silent film comedy star from America, who both Tim and Graeme have said they were heavily influenced by. Having never seen any of his work before, both Steve and Megan sit down on the Commentary Couch to see if watching Keaton is like watching a Goodies episode, and to try to spot any Goodies parallels in these silent classics that are nearly 100 years old.

As Buster himself would say... "             "

So sit back and enjoy this extra long Goodies Podcast, and the brilliance of The Great Stone Face.
