Private Notes
The Goodies have to tackle a gigantic white kitten which is terrorising London.
A special episode, based on the original 1971 Goodies' "Kitten Kong" episode. The special was called "Kitten Kong: Montreux '72 Edition", and was first broadcast in 1972.
The original 25 minute episode is thought to no longer exist, making it the only Goodies episode which is officially lost; however, the expanded and more elaborate version for the 1972 Montreux festival is said to have only minor differences with its 1971 prototype. One difference is the ending; in the original the giant mice are represented by stock footage of real mice inserted into the footage using chroma-key (CSO). In the Montreux version, giant model mouse heads are seen crashing through polystyrene walls.
A lack of finances sees Tim filling out a Tax Evasion form for the Goodies, with Graeme’s computer providing timely reminders of the bizarre items which he is trying to claim for.
The Goodies finally return to television after nearly 25 years with a compilation of classic clips, interviews and new material.

Very little exists of the 1968/1969 pre-cursor to The Goodies. Presented here are the 35mm film inserts to one show that would have been seen at various points in the episode interspersed with other material recorded on videotape in the studio. This material is sourced directly from the original film and is presented without the audience reaction, which would have been part of the original broadcast.
Scenes and commentary on the problems facing the restoration team.
