Super Chaps Three & Kaleidoscope

Tim starts to look through Superchaps Three

We were very fortunate to be joined by Simon Coward of Kaleidoscope Publishing at the 40^th party. simon introduced us to Andrew Pixley’s new book about the Goodies (and allowed us to get our hands on it a few days early).

Andrew Pixley signs his masterpiece

The book is a marvellous hefty tome, 602 pages in total, filled with information from across the entire history of the programme up to the present day (even mentioning the 40^th party itself at the end). This thing is a mine of information and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Goodies. You can buy it through the Kaleidoscope website, here: The Goodies: Super Chaps Three.

After introducing us to the book, Simon also told us a little about the work that Kaleidoscope does, and why it publishes books. Unfortunately I missed the first few seconds of this, but you can catch the rest of what he had to say in this video:

With only a few hours left before the party, tickets are no longer available online. If you haven’t got yours already, there will be a few available on the door, but it’ll be first come first served …

(sorry we can’t accept credit or debit cards for tickets bought on the door)
