"I would like to thank the other two Goodies, but I really can't. It
would have been so much easier without them." - Bill Oddie
It's 1975, and the Goodies are at the height of their career. On the
eve of their next series, Bill Oddie, frustrated rocker, has ditched
Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor to seek the rock stardom of which
he's always dreamed, leaving them as two-thirds of a comedy triple
act. Can they go on without him? Do they even want to? The stage is
set for a break-up and break-down like no other...
A Record or an OBE is a new "what-if" one-act comedy exploring the
nature of artistic and comedic collaboration, and the emotional
fallout when a group of friends comes apart. Performed in the cosy
basement of Caz Reitops Dirty Secrets in the Goodies' old half-hour
ABC timeslot, it's also a lovingly playful nod to one of the most
influential comedy groups to ever make an impact on Australian
culture, an affectionate exercise in imagining how it could have all
gone wrong...
A Record or an OBE is a collaborative project directed by Scott "Ecky-
Thump" Gooding (Caresses, After the Rain) starring Rob "I'm a teapot"
Lloyd (Hound of the Baskervilles - "an explosion of energy, laughs and
incredible talent", the Groggy Squirrel) as Tim Brooke-Taylor and Ben
"megalomaniac" McKenzie (Science-ology - "vibrant, educational and
funny", The Age) as Graeme Garden. McKenzie is also producer and lead
writer.
