“The Goodies” (1970) intro
I’ve just stumbled across what may be the single most British piece of television known to man. I think need a bit of a lie down.
From the wikipedia:
It was one of the first shows in the UK to use chroma key and one of the first to use stop-motion techniques in a live action format. Other effects include hand editing for repeated movement, mainly used to make animals “talk” or “sing”, and play speed effects as used in the episode “Kitten Kong”.
The threesome travelled around on, and frequently fell off, a three-seater bicycle called the trandem. One of these trandems was later cycled across Africa, a trip immortalised in the resultant book Three Men on a Bike.
