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.
