Unlike many long-running BBC comedy series, ''The Goodies'' has not enjoyed extensive [[Rerun|repeat]]s on terrestrial television in the UK. In 1986, BBC2 broadcast the episode "[[Kitten Kong]]" during a week of programmes screened under the banner "TV-50", when the BBC celebrated 50 years of broadcasting. In the late 1980s the pan-European satellite-channel [[NBC Super Channel|Super Channel]] broadcast a couple of episodes, and the short-lived [[The Comedy Channel (UK)|Comedy Channel]] broadcast some of the later ''Goodies'' episodes in the early 1990s. Later [[Gold (UK TV channel)|UK Gold]] screened many of the earlier episodes, often with commercial timing cuts. The same episodes subsequently aired on [[Alibi (TV channel)|UK Arena]], also cut. When UK Arena became UK Drama, later UKTV Drama, ''The Goodies'' was dropped along with its other comedy and documentary shows.

The cast finally took matters into their own hands and arranged with Network Video for the release of a digitally-remastered 'best of' selection entitled ''The Goodies ... At Last'' on VHS and [[Region 0]] DVD in April 2003. A second volume, ''The Goodies ... At Last a Second Helping'' was released on Region 2 in February 2005. Series 9 (including the Xmas special) was released on Region 2 as ''The Goodies – The Complete LWT Series'' on 26 March 2007 and a fourth volume ''The Goodies ... At Last Back for More, Again'' was released on region 2 in 2010 as well as a DVD box set containing all four volumes to celebrate 40 years of ''The Goodies''.

In 2004, an episode of the BBC documentary series ''[[Comedy Connections]]'' was devoted to the Goodies. During Christmas that year, [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]] repeated the classic 1973 episode "[[The Goodies and the Beanstalk]]".  Christmas 2005 saw a 90-minute ''Goodies'' special, a documentary about the series, ''Return of the Goodies'', broadcast on [[BBC Two]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0074skc |title=BBC Two - Return of the Goodies |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2010-11-13 |access-date=2014-05-01}}</ref>

Early in 2006, a single episode ("[[Winter Olympics (Goodies episode)|Winter Olympics]]") was broadcast on [[BBC Two]]. In February 2007, the 1982 LWT series was repeated on pay-TV channel Paramount 2.

In December 2010, BBC Two showed selected late-night repeats of the BBC series, which ran nightly from 23 to 30 December. This apparent gesture followed years of campaigning by The Goodies that the shows had not been repeated like other BBC shows such as ''[[Dad's Army]]'', ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'' and ''[[Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em]]''. The episodes shown were: "[[Bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms]]" / "[[Earthanasia (Goodies episode)|Earthanasia]]" / "[[The Goodies and the Beanstalk]]" / "[[Kitten Kong]]" / "[[Lighthouse Keeping Loonies]]" / "[[Saturday Night Grease]]" / "[[The Baddies (Goodies episode)|The Baddies]]" (a.k.a. "Double Trouble") and "[[The Stone Age (Goodies episode)|The Stone Age]]", although "[[Scoutrageous]]", "[[Kung Fu Kapers]]" and "[[Scotland (Goodies episode)|Scotland]]" (a.k.a. "Loch Ness Monster") were originally billed as episodes 1, 2 and 7 of the repeat run. The episodes garnered good ratings given their time slot, and the first six episodes were taken from the BBC's own master tapes, rather than the digital remasters, the rights to which are currently owned by Network Video. "The Baddies" and "The Stone Age" have never been digitally remastered.

On Sunday 8 June 2014, during a 1970s weekend, BBC Two repeated the Montreux '72 Edition of "Kitten Kong" once again; however, this has been the only episode to be repeated twice, and no full series have been repeated since.

In September 2018, Network released a box set titled ''The Goodies: The Complete BBC Collection''. This set contains every single episode from 1970-1980 (excepting the lost, original version of "Kitten Kong") and, as a bonus feature, a one-hour edit of the show "An Audience with the Goodies", hosted by [[Stewart Lee]] and filmed live at [[Leicester Square]] in June 2018.

In late September 2022 the TV channel 'That's TV' (numbered 183 on SKY TV listings and 65 on Freeview)<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thats.tv/about/ | title=About – That's TV }}</ref> started showing the BBC episodes, one episode every day, starting with series one episode one on 26 September at 21.40. Series 2 started airing at 21.45 on 5 October. Series 3 started airing at 21:40 on 11 October. Series 4 started airing at 21:30 on 17 October. Series 5 started airing at 21:30 on 24 October. Series 6 started airing at 21:30 on 6 November. Some episodes are being aired in poor quality and/or black & White as the tapes were sadly wiped for reuse by the BBC in the 1970s. Although there is a message before each episode stating; 'This programme reflects the standards, language and attitudes of its time. Some viewers may find this content offensive', it seems that not all episodes are being aired - noticeably the 'Kitten Kong', 'Special Tax Edition' & 	'The Goodies Rule – O.K.?' specials, but also series 2 episodes 'Pollution', 'The Lost Tribe', 'Come Dancing', 'Gender Education, 'Charity Bounce' & 'The Baddies', series 3 episode 'Superstar', series 4 episodes 'The Goodies and the Beanstalk' & 'The Race', series 5 episodes 'Scatty Safari' & 'South Africa' were not aired, with no notice or reason given.

====Australia====
In Australia, the series has had continued popularity. It was especially popular when it was repeated through the 1970s and 1980s by the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]].<ref>[https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/tears-for-a-clown-why-the-loss-of-tim-brooke-taylor-feels-so-personal-20200413-p54je4.html Tears for a clown: why the loss of Tim Brooke-Taylor feels so personal], Michael Idato, ''[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]'', 13 April 2020</ref> As the show was typically broadcast in the 25-minute 6:00 pm children's timeslot, portions often had to be cut.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20050701144950/http://home.mira.net/~kirseval/gdyscut.htm|title=02 Jul 2005 - THE GOODIES - CENSORED! - Archived Website|website=Webarchive.nla.gov.au|access-date=8 September 2021}}</ref> The 1981-82 [[London Weekend Television|LWT]] series was played once on the [[Seven Network]] in the early 1980s. The ABC screened the BBC episodes again in the early 1990s, but skipped several stories due to either inappropriate material for a children's timeslot, or a lack of colour prints at the time. The BBC episodes were then heavily edited to allow time for commercials when repeated on [[Network Ten]] in the 1990s, before moving to the pay television channel [[UK.TV]] during the late 1990s and early 2000s, where they were screened in full. [[ABC2]] <!-- It was called ABC2 in 2010 --> ran re-runs of the series, beginning in 2010.

Three of the [[The Goodies videography|Goodies DVDs]] are available in Australia under different titles to the UK releases: ''The Goodies: 8 Delicious Episodes'', ''The Goodies: A Tasty Second Helping'' and ''The Goodies: The Final Episodes'', respectively. The Goodies' DVDs are also available in a boxed set with a commemorative booklet (''The Goodies: The Tasty Box''). This collection contains the same 16 episodes as the original two DVD releases but with additional material such as commentaries on several episodes and the original scripts of some episodes in PDF format. Picture quality has been greatly improved using digital restoration techniques and the episode "[[Come Dancing (Goodies episode)|Come Dancing]]", which was originally thought to only have survived as a black-and-white film recording, is presented in colour from a 625-line low-band broadcast standard [[PAL]] VT recording, made for training purposes, which has had the low-level colour boosted. (The original Australian DVD release, ''The Goodies – A Tasty Second Helping'' (2 disc set), and ''The Goodies – A Second Helping: 4 tasty serves'' (1 Disc), featured the b/w telerecording of this episode.)

====Canada====
In Canada, the series was shown in on the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] national broadcast network during the late 1970s and early 1980s, in the traditional "after school" time slot, later a Friday night 10&nbsp;pm slot, and occasionally in a midnight slot. Several episodes were also shown on the [[CTV Television Network]]. In the mid-1970s it was shown on [[TVOntario]] on Saturday evenings, repeated on Thursday evenings, until it was replaced by ''[[Doctor Who]]'' in 1976.

====Germany====
In Germany in 1972, German TV screened the 13-part variety show ''Engelbert and the Young Generation'', a co-production between the BBC and German station [[ZDF]] in which The Goodies appeared in short 3-to-4-minute film sequences. The first six of these sequences were culled from the first and second series of ''The Goodies'': "Pets" (from "Kitten Kong"), "Pop Festival" (from "The Music Lovers"), "Keep Fit" (from "Commonwealth Games"), "Post Office" (from "Radio Goodies"), "Sleepwalking" (from "Snooze") and "Factory Farm" (from "Fresh Farm Foods"); and there were seven new film sequences, "Good Deed Day", "The Gym", "The Country Code", "Street Entertainers", "Plum Pudding", "Bodyguards" and "Pan's Grannies" – these also featured intro sequences with host [[Engelbert Humperdinck (singer)|Engelbert Humperdinck]] visiting the Goodies at their office. The shows were dubbed into German and because the Goodies part of the shows was more visual than [[dialogue]]-based, it translated very well.

Five of these new films were also cut together, with a new story involving The Goodies filling out their "Tax Evasion" form, as a special 25-minute ''Goodies'' compilation episode, "[[A Collection of Goodies (Special Tax Edition)|A Collection of Goodies]]", first broadcast on BBC1 at 8.15&nbsp;pm on 24 September 1972, and produced by [[Jim Franklin (director)|Jim Franklin]]. "The Country Code" and "Bodyguards" were not used.

====New Zealand====
In New Zealand, the series was originally shown in full by the NZBC (later [[TV One (New Zealand)|TV One]]) during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, it has been re-run on [[SKY Network Television]]'s Comedy Central.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comedycentral.co.nz/shows/the-goodies |title=The Goodies &#124; Show &#124; Comedy Central New Zealand |publisher=Comedycentral.co.nz |access-date=2012-05-15}}</ref>

====Spain====
In Spain, a couple of episodes of ''The Goodies'' were shown as part of a season of television-award-winning programmes (the Goodies were Montreux Festival winners) on [[TVE 2]] entitled ''Festival TV'' in 1981.

====United States====
In the US, the series was shown widely in syndication during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but has been little seen since. It was shown also on [[PBS]] stations, sometimes in tandem with ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''.
