Has the BBC got a grudge against the Goodies?

Given The Goodies' extraordinary success, presumably BBC TV is ­making a huge fuss about the show's 40th anniversary. A re-run of some of the best shows? A chance to see a whole series?
Er, not quite. BBC2 dusted off a five-year-old documentary. But apart from that, zilch. In fact, the Corporation has never shown repeats. All three Goodies are mighty peeved about it. So why are they being ignored?

Vincent Graff, Daily Mail, 22nd November 2010

The Goodies (BBC2) don't score consistently, but when they do they're the funniest thing on television.

Kingsley Amis, The Observer, 10th October 1976
