Animals
Prismark1015 December 2022
An early appearance of comedian and actor Mel Smith sees The Goodies saying hello to a new generation of comedians. Just as they are about to leave from the exit door of the BBC.

Riffing on the popularity of nature documentaries on the BBC. The Goodies lampoon the likes of David Attenborough and David Bellamy.

Tim runs a talent agency for animals. Once again he ends up locking horns with Graeme and Bill. They demand animals earn their keep and work for a living.

It unwittingly leads to the fight for animal rights and animal liberation.

The main parody is of Attenborough's 1979 series Life on Earth. As well as the dark animated film Watership Down, featuring the song Bright Eyes.

Animals is a real hotchpot of zaniness, some of the humour is a bit icky as well.
