* ''[[The Goodies (TV)|The Goodies]]'' were understandably upset when Mary Whitehouse cited them as an example of good, clean television - so they wrote an entire episode making fun of her and censorship in general. Under the guise of an apparently child-friendly silliness, they wrote (and aired) episodes candidly satirising police brutality, military testing, the British Post Office, even Apartheid (one of their less successful attempts), but it took Tim Brooke-Taylor donning a pair of briefs emblazoned with a cartoon carrot in a Saturday Night Fever parody to earn Whitehouse's condemnation. The BBC then axed their show.
