The Minister For Trade & Domestic Affairs wants the Goodies to recover compromising photos of her taken at the Playgirl Club. Tim goes undercover in drag. The Club is a veritable den of iniquity, with strip shows, saunas, massage rooms and displays of openly uninhibited behaviour. When Tim fails to report back, Graeme and Bill decide to rescue him. But the only way to get in is to pose as 'male bunnies' a.k.a. 'Wolves'...
This satire on the so-called Permissive Society was made before the B.B.C. came to see 'The Goodies' as a children's show. Its also one of the best episodes of Season 1, despite boasting little by way of visual humour.
A pre-'Are You Being Served?' Mollie Sugden plays the talkative Minister, with 'Carry On' blonde bombshell Liz Fraser as the club's Mae West-style proprietor. Queenie Watts would later play Arthur Mullard's wife 'Lil' in I.T.V.'s 'Romany Jones' and 'Yus My Dear'. Tim gets to use his 'Lady Constance' voice from 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again'.
Yes, the scenes in the Playgirl Club are sexist ( there's some nudity on display ), and this has led to the episode being branded 'politically incorrect'. U.K. Gold included it in a season of programmes called 'The Dog House'. I can't help thinking that if it had been written by a woman though, it would today be regarded as a monument to female liberation.
Funniest moment - Bill and Graeme attempting to identify the club's owner by the colour of her underwear! Yes, that scene!
