During the late 1970s and early 1980s many kids from my generation knew we would be guaranteed an hour of entertainment on the ABC between 6 and 7 PM each weeknight when they screened The Goodies and Doctor Who.
If you get to watch The Goodies episode titled "South Africa" on DVD there are interesting commentaries included as a special feature. At the end of the episode when the three of them arrive back in England and they begin painting their faces black, there is a close-up of Tim before the fade-out. Tim was told not to do an Al Jolson-style "hand waving gesture" because the other two Goodies didn't think it would help get their anti-apartheid message and anti-discriminatory beliefs across. But Tim couldn't resist, and they found it funny enough to leave it in the final cut.

I have always loved this photo of Spike Milligan appearing on Tim's This is Your Life show in 1981.
