Chapter Text
The Goodies is a British sitcom, which ran on the BBC from 1970 to 1980, running for a further series on LWT in 1981-1982. It follows three friends, Bill, Graeme and Tim (they shares names with their actors, and a few traits, but the similarity ends there), who decide to set up an agency called ‘The Goodies’, promising to help whoever asks of them and to do “anything, anytime.” However, their weekly escapades are not exactly normal, leading to run-ins with giant kittens, mad scientists, robots and many more.
And it is worth noting that whilst the three Goodies occasionally date women (or their computer, if they are Graeme), the three of them have the strongest relationships with each other. This series contains a lot of homoeroticism, with the Goodies falling into strange pseudo-romantic relationships with each other, often filling the roles of husband and wife, not to mention their tastes for cross dressing and completely confusing gender roles. Tim is the main source of these moments (being the campest and most in favour of cross dressing), but Graeme and Bill certainly get in on it as well.
This essay is an attempt to document the homoerotic moments that appear throughout the series, listing them in chronological order. Hopefully by the end of reading this, you too will see how bisexual the characters of Bill, Graeme and Tim come across as.
