It's one of those rare shows that scores perfect with me.
I can't say that I didn't like a single episode now I've watched the complete series on dvd, as well as the final LWT episodes.
Episodes vary from simply getting into binds with jobs they take to digging up a prehistoric cave under their house, flying to the moon and hunting the Loch Ness Monster.
Plenty of guest stars of the era pop in as well.
Two Doctors - Pertwee and Troughton - Frank Thornton of Are You Being Served fame and plenty of recognisable UK TV and Film actors.
These three always have a spark and impeccable comedy timing. They do very interesting things visually, narratively and sound wise in the series.
Tackling both slapstick and parody as well as commentary on the era's events and politics.
Much of the parody and commentary still ring true today regarding politics, corruption and environment to media piracy, art and society.
Though they play characters they use their own names and each embodies an archetype.
As Graeme states; 'the Ruling Class, the Scientific and Technical Class and...the Workers'.
They at times intersperse parody TV adverts which are just as inspired, including an anti dandruff shampoo guaranteed to solve the issue of flakes in your hair. By removing your hair. Plus, a telephone company ad helpfully telling you that 'the cheapest time to call your friends...is when they're out' (phone companies used to have cheaper rates at certain times and answering machines weren't the norm).
Stands to reason that just as adults will glean more from it than kids on different levels; so is the humour to those familiar with the era and not.
So many great episodes: COD, The End, Cecily, Bunfight, Pirate Radio, Clowns, End of the World, Kitten Kong, South Africa, Saturday Night Grease, Robot and on and on.
Two Goodies are still with us at time of writing, a great loss when Tim Brooke Taylor died. The butt of many a joke, but arguably the sweetest devil of the three.

Story of Science presents a very well put together nutshell approach to this subject, making it easy to follow and appreciate the road science has taken.
Incredibly informative and easily accessible, it outlines some of the milestones in science and their often huge impact.
It's produced extremely well with terrific, real historical locations and a solid presenter in its host.
I would've liked that it touched on other scientific disciplines more or at all, but it's a small qualm with an otherwise great documentary and there are, to be fair, other documentaries such as Cosmos (both old and new) that really get into those aspects far deeper than a streamlined nutshell approach as SoS has.
