The famous "[[Four Yorkshiremen]]" sketch was co-written by the four writers/performers of the series β Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman. Tim Brooke-Taylor was a cast member of the television comedy series ''[[Marty (TV series)|Marty]]'' with Marty Feldman and [[John Junkin]] β a compilation of the two series of ''Marty'' has been released on a DVD with the title of ''It's Marty''. Brooke-Taylor was also a cast member of John Cleese's special ''[[How to Irritate People]]''. Along with [[John Junkin]] and [[Barry Cryer]], Brooke-Taylor was a regular cast member of the long-running Radio 2 comedy sketch show ''[[Hello, Cheeky!]]'', which ran from 1973 to 1979. The series also transferred to [[Yorkshire Television]] for two series in 1975 and 1976. Tim Brooke-Taylor also appeared on BBC's hospital comedy ''[[TLC (TV series)|TLC]]'', as well as the sitcoms ''[[You Must Be The Husband]]'' (with [[Diane Keen]] and [[Sheila Steafel]]), and ''[[Me and My Girl (TV series)|Me and My Girl]]'' (with [[Richard O'Sullivan]] and [[Joan Sanderson]]). He also played in a televised pro-celebrity golf match opposite [[Bruce Forsyth]]. Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie were writers/performers on the television comedy series ''[[Twice a Fortnight]]'' (which also included [[Terry Jones]], [[Michael Palin]] and [[Jonathan Lynn]] in the cast). Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden were writers/performers on the television comedy series ''[[Broaden Your Mind]]'', with Bill Oddie joining them for the second series. The three writers and performers also collaborated on the 1983 animated children's programme ''[[Bananaman]]'', where they played various voice roles. Bill Oddie has occasionally appeared on the BBC Radio 4 panel game ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]'', on which Garden and Brooke-Taylor are regular panellists. Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie worked on the television comedy ''[[Doctor in the House (TV series)|Doctor in the House]]'': they co-wrote most of the first series and all of the second. Garden also appeared as a television interviewer in the series, in the episode titled "On the Box". Between 1981 and 1983 Garden and Oddie wrote, but did not perform in, a science fiction sitcom called ''[[Astronauts (television)|Astronauts]]'' for [[Central Independent Television|Central]] and [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]. The show was set in a British [[space station]] in the near future. Garden was a regular team captain on the political satire game show ''[[If I Ruled the World (game show)|If I Ruled the World]]''. Brooke-Taylor appeared as a guest in one episode, and during the game "I Couldn't Disagree More" he proposed that it was high time ''The Goodies'' episodes were repeated. Garden was obliged by the rules of the game to refute this statement, and replied "I couldn't disagree more...it was time to repeat them ten, fifteen years ago." This was followed by uproarious applause from the studio audience. In 2004, Garden and Brooke-Taylor were co-presenters of [[Channel 4]]'s daytime game show ''Beat the Nation'', in which they indulged in usual game show "banter", but took the quiz itself seriously. Oddie hosts a very successful series of nature programmes for the BBC.
